Darko

Epilogue

It's been three months since Darko left us.

It's been hard for me, but I've taken comfort in having my closest friends by my side. I do miss our lessons at times, knowing I can't throw rocks at his window anymore. But even after everything, I've always had this mindset that I was teaching Darko everything he needed to know before he came to island of Jorvik...

The reality was he was teaching me much more.

Before Darko left, he taught me what it meant to be a true friend to somebody. He taught me how to put someone else's needs before your own, not to judge others from a distance, and how to recognize when someone is suffering.

There were countless times when I thought I could hide how I truly felt about things, yet, Darko could see through it all. It was odd, someone being able to read right through me.

I never knew someone who could do it as well as he could.

I've heard rumors from the spies that go to Dark Core. They've said Darko's hair has gotten even more red, wrinkles are beginning to form on his cheeks, and he follows every single command that's given to him.

Nonetheless, he still doesn't remember. I'm hoping I never forget Darko along with the things I've learned from him.

I seem to have gotten the closure I needed, but there's still one thing that bothers me.

Everyone knows him as the villain on the Island of Jorvik, but only few know of how he came to be..

It's a strange thought, but it's one that has come to my mind numerous times.

I am hopeful in the future I will once again come face to face with my old friend, but for now, I have to wait till he's brought through the darkness.

Elizabeth gently moved her thumb over the girl's signature, small tears fell from her cheeks and soaked the page. "We're going to bring you home, Anne." She softly smiled. "I promise."
