"Wait!! What!?" I asked not believing what I was hearing.
"Lord Alexander, they are here," said the guard to my left. They let go of us.
"Bow before your King!" Said a voice I recognized.
"Who said that?" I asked while trying to see into the Darkness. A small figure came forward. It was Eric!
"Eric!" I said, "what are.... why did you tell us to do that?" I asked.
"Because you are in the presence of the King of the Realm!" He said.
"But why would you say that?" I asked.
"Because I understand the true power of the Darkness." He said.
A large Pegasus came out of the Darkness. It transfigured into a hooded figure and began walking towards us.
"What have you done to Eric?!" I cried.
"What he just said. I showed him the power of the Darkness." He said while pulling off his hood. I gasped at his face. It looked exactly like mine. 'Lord Lem was right!' I thought.
"But Eric doesn't even have the power of Elements!" I said.
"You are right, but he can still work for me, with a little persuasion of course.." he said with an evil grin.
"Did you hypnotize him?" I asked.
"In fact I did,young lady," he said, "you're pretty quick,"
"But how?" I asked ignoring the last part.
"With my dagger of Darkness," he said while unsheathing it. I tried to take a step back but the guards were in the way.
"I made something just like that," I said.
"Yeah... I know.. it is yours," he said, "I stole it when you weren't looking."
I gave him a look of total shock, "how did you do that?" I asked slightly amazed.
"You are looking at a fake," he said while suddenly disappearing. I gasped.
"That's pretty cool," I said.
"Don't admit anything!" Moriah said, "I think that's what he wants,"
"What do you want with me?" I asked him. He came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. I felt like the life was being sucked out of me. I dropped to one knee.
"Hurts,doesn't it?" He asked with out any sympathy. Eric laughed.
"What you did to Eric?" I asked, "Wait.... how did you get into my dream?" I asked suddenly remembering.
"Ah!! Finally she's asking the right question! I've been waiting for this moment ever since I left! You are doing an absolutely marvelous job!" He said. I could not tell if he was joking.
"Well... everyone knows that Darkness is the most powerful..." he began.
"No.. That's wrong.. Lord Lem says that the Light rules all... " I said.
"Shut up!" Lord Alexander said. My eyes opened wide in surprise.
"Light can't exist without Darkness!" I said. Eric walked up to me and punched me in the stomach. Suddenly his shirt burst into flames. He began screaming in pain,and pulling off the shirt. I looked around to see who had caused it.
