Forgotten One

Discovery Arc: Clone!

Sarah races through the thick fog, she could hear the many cries of the monsters, enraged by this sudden force she had cast out.

Thunder sounded throughout the fog, lightning split the skies above and the sun shone down- two dimensions had overlapped, but the darkness of the fog was winning and the last rays of light faded.

It was fine, most of Sarah's casting she did at night... however, during the summer, she had been using her power during the day and her strength was scary.

The darkness would be no trouble if the ones who followed her were dark bearers since they could see through the darkness... they would easily be able to find a single person.

'Did I overdo it?' Sarah thinks as she kept running, her own fear had gotten the better of her and she cast something powerfully in the middle of a city- she had always been taught that when she gained skill, then she was responsible for it, 'I made a mistake! What if they're not following me?!'

A flash of white caught her eye, turning slightly she sees something coming her way, fast!

Then it happened.

Sarah halts and almost trips over from the sudden stop.

Panting heavily, she peers from under her hood at these people, all dressed in pale white cloaks in front of her.

She could sense the shines that had been smelted within the cloaks, like his cloak of shadows.

These ones had wrapped themselves with these cloak of shines, glowed in the darkness, making her wonder just how she had missed them- even if they were not dark bearers, the shine cloaks would have lit up their path and shown where she was.

"Who are you?" Sarah questions them, taking a step back and rushed noise of splashing and cloth flapping in the wind, makes her glance over her shoulder, she sees more people standing there.

They had encircled her, cutting off all exits.

"Fear not young one," The one in front of her calls over the loud thunder, it starts to gently rain on them and all of the swamp water starts rippling; he takes a step closer, "this is just a routine check, we are asking everyone with a shadow bound cloak a few questions."

"Questions?" Sarah says softly, she gave them all a quick look, no one other than the one speaking had moved.

"Yes, questions." The man says as he reaches up and removes his hood, a kind face man with blonde hair appeared, he had a small easy-going smile and light blue eyes, "We do this every year, there is no need to be nervous. We are well aware that light bearers also travel, even coming to this Festival."

"Oh...? Sorry." Sarah replies feeling herself reddening, she was glad for her hood, "I'm sorry," she says a bit louder, "This is my first visit to this ..er... Festival."

"That's fine, we are used to light bearers running," The man said with a light laugh, "My name is Clooen, I am in charge of this team. This is an interesting gateway you cast, mind if you dispel it?"
