The Legend of Trinity (Completed)

Chapter 3

Maybe I should describe to you what the Dark Lord looks like. He is a pale-skinned, long-haired, red-eyed, tall, slim man. His pitch black hair appears to be a cape over his shoulders. A black tuxedo covers every corner of his body, except his face because a pair of gloves hid his hands from view. Many times I tried to break loose from his arms, but so far, I only succeeded in making him hold me tighter.

-"Why try to run Darena?  Nobody's gonna save you from me, not this time. So, you might as well get comfortable."- He says, patting my head. I remain silent, not knowing what to respond. And when I finally find a proper answer to his question, somebody screams from the edge of the forest so loud, that you might have heard it on the Human Realm:

-"DARENA! DARENA WHERE ARE YOU?!!"- Albert. I push the Dark Lord aside and run towards the edge of the forest. I thought that the Dark Lord wouldn't pursue me. How very wrong I was. Half-way, I fall unconscious on the grass, but before the darkness overtakes my eyes, he whispers:

-"We shall meet again, soon."-

What happened after the Dark Lord spoke to me is unclear, and I can't figure out why. The same thing happened when I saw the rider on the Twilight Castle Bridge. They must be related very closely, since I only lose memories when I encounter them, which meant something, but I couldn't put my finger down on what exactly. After eating some bread and drinking water, I leave the bed and go to Albert's chamber. The door stood wide open, so I simply knock, for courtesy.

-"Come in."- Albert says, his voice faint. I walk into the room and spot Albert standing by the window, leaning his body onto the window's frame. I silently approach him, my footsteps unable to be heard. He turns his head and sees me, causing a smile to spread in his lips.

-"Sorry to bother you."- I say, crossing my arms over my chest. Albert smirks.

-"No need to apologize, you know you can count on me for anything. So please, tell me."- I smile and then reply:

-"Is there a place where I can find information about the Dark Lord and his descendants?"- Albert's eyes widen, but I do not know if it was because of surprise, fear, or something worse.

-"Why would you need such information? That information is limited to the Council Elders, no one else should have knowledge of that."-  Albert answers, his tone colder than the cold air that came in through the open window.

-"Because the Dark Lord has returned, and he is after me."- I say, starring out the window. The moon had reached its highest point, and it looked beautiful in the dark night sky.

-"Are you sure if that? I mean, isn't he supposed to be dead?"-

-"Supposed to, but he isn't. He's the one I encountered in the forest." I pause for a  moment and then ask: "What exactly made you go looking for me?"-

-" A few things in fact. One, if I didn't go, Jeff would have. Two, the Council wants to murder you. Thirdly and most important, I asked for your hand, as you already know, but to get the Council's approval, I need to keep you safe."- Albert explains, always looking directly into my eyes.

-"Why does the Council want to kill me? I know that they don't like the fact that I'm going to become the Twilight Princess, but how what reason do they have for wanting me dead?"- I ask, placing my hand in Albert's shoulder.

-"Because there is a traitor is Trinity, but who it is I do not know."- He places his hand over mine and pulls me closer to him, embracing me in the process.
