The Dream Travel Adventures (Completed)

Chapter 18, Leinad

Wayra A. "Cristalina Starr" Klocker Gregori-Owner
(Wayra's POV)
Wow. Daniel did it. Or did he? I had to be sure. I jump out of my hiding place. I run toward the cristal prison and without thinking, I touch the cristal, and a white light surrounds me. I hear everyone shouting.

"No!" Several people yell at me.

(Daniel's POV)
I watch as Wayra touches the cristal. She starts to glow faintly and turn ghost-like. She shuts her eyes and just stands there. I could see through her. What happened to her?! She wasn't moving. I reach over to touch her.

"Don't!" Natsu warns me. "We don't know what will happen if you touch her!"

I stop. Was she trapped inside now to?

(Wayra's POV)
The white light surrounds me and is so bright I have to close my eyes in order to not be blinded.
When I open my eyes, i'm in a weird cristal-like room. Where was I? I look around and see a boy in a corner. He is crouched down. His face in his hands. Was he crying? Then I realize with a start that it's Darkstar! I hesitantly take a few steps toward him.

"D-Darkstar?" I say.

He doesn't look up.

"Darkstar?" I say again.

This time, he looks up. He did look as if he had been crying!

"What do you want? Have you come to ridicule me? I have had enough. I don't want to be anyone's evil puppet anymore!"

I am stunned. Evil puppet? What was he talking about?

"Mr.... Darkstar, it's me, the erm.. girl you tried to capture... I came to see if you were properly sealed away in your prison. Umm.. What did you mean by evil puppet?" I ask.

He looks at me for a long time. Then he answers:

"I am not the enemy, child. I was forced to do it's bidding. I have been pulled and pushed like a puppet on strings!"

"What do you mean?" I ask him.

"Who is it?"

"You don't want to know. Stay away from it. Or you will be forced to hurt people like I have. I had to turn my own friend Aryaw evil. No. I was forced to! I thought I could fight it. I was wrong. It was way stronger than me. Look what it made me do!" Darkstar starts to cry.

I put a hesitant hand on his back to comfort him.

It was stronger than Darkstar? That was almost impossible! What could possibly have that much power? This was bad. I look over at the sobbing Darkstar and say the only thing I can think of to comfort him.

"Darkstar. I forgive you."

He looks up. "What?"

"I forgive you." I repeat.

"But I did all of those horrible things!"

I shake my head. I didn't know how. But I knew that he was telling me the truth.

"No. It did. You said yourself you were innocent. Lets go back. Let me help you. I'll extract all of the darkness from your body. I promise."

"But nobody will believe me!" He protests.

"I do." I say.

He wipes his tears and nods. I take his hand and close my eyes as the blinding light comes back.

(Daniel's POV)
I stare at Wayra wide eyed and worried. Then she starts to glow. I watch as color starts to return to her cheeks. She was coming back! But she wasn't alone. Someone else was appearing beside her. I squint my eyes to see better. A male. He had all black armor. I stare in horror. Darkstar! Why on earth was Wayra bringing him back?! But then something starts to happen. I watch as Wayra places her hands on his chest where his heart should be. That spot starts to glow. Then his armor slowly starts disappearing and the red eyes full of hatred and murder slowly start changing. Softening. Turning... Hazel! He goes from evil looking to... Well, unrecognizable! What was happening? Wayra's hands slowly start tuning black and that color starts spreading. Oh no! Was she turning evil? Was this Darkstar's doing? It starts seeping into her body. But then, the darkness concentrates and starts making a spiral around her body. It circles a bunch of white light and merges into a symbol. The yin yang! Then it disappears.
