Spite from Darkness
You dreamed of Darkness and the Face of Evil.
"Hello Child of Estel...you know my name." She said in a dark whisper.
"That's Impossible...YOUR Dead, you Died with Remnant!!" You said.
"I will always exist!! I WILL ALWAYS ENDURE!! AND NOTHING IN YOUR LITTLE USELESS MIND CAN STOP ME!!"
"As long as Remnant Exists...you will live forever...Remnant is Gone!!" You said parroting an old legend. "You should have been dragged to hell where you belong!!"
"I EXIST..I WILL ALWAYS EXIST AND NOTHING YOU DO CAN STOP ME!! YOU ARE NO ESTEL!! YOU ARE NO OZMA!! AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!" She said.
The Dark Woman, Lingered into existence.
She wasn't real...yet somehow even now she was here to haunt your kind.
"How...HOW!!" You said in terror.
"Estel cannot protect you now...your so called Protection cannot be called upon...you cannot strike at me...you cannot hope to slay me!" She said with the sadism of the grin on her face growing more and more farel.
You tried...by the universe you tried! Swinging your knife wildly as you struggled to hold back your own fear and terror.
"HOW HOW DO YOU LINGER!! YOU ARE DEAD!!" you shouted.
"Please...when I finally died I realized exactly what I wanted...and I hated it. The Life after death is not all its cracked up to be...and with the Force in the Equation...all I needed to do was give a little nudge." She said.
"I saw the force as the same force of nature that was the Two Brothers and I hated it...for a time I indulged in so called peace...then at the end of it all, I realized that your worthless kind didn't follow me...into oblivion...and I hated that fact." She said.
I HATED AND HATED AND HATED, I CAUSED STRIFE, MISERY MADNESS AND MORE IN MY SOLE DESIRE TO SEE YOUR KIND DEAD!! AND THEN I LEARNED OF THE DARK!!" She said.
"You'll never win...You've never won before and you never will now!" You said.
"Oh my dear sweet Child of the Adverse...I've already won. I've already won...the moment your kind learned what the Darkness is…" She said.
Your mind flashed to the sunset, the comforting feeling of beauty and serenity...and then it was gone.
Within the feeling of Night, Salem Spoke the Eternal Truths of the Universe.
They say that Truth is the Greatest Fear...for in knowing the Truth, it makes all the difference in the world.
Salem finally knew exactly what to say...and how exactly to break a kind that had spent far to long clinging to life in their own feeling of superiority through great effort.
She would no longer toy with you now...and would relish in the destruction of your people's mind.
--------------------------------------------
The dark is generous.
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night's embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day's harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it's the day that is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins."
----------------------------------------------
Within the Ratakan Camps, they looked upon the miracle.
<"The Dark Side IT FLOWS WITHIN AGAIN in the YOUNG WE SHALL RECLAIM THE STARS!! WE SHALL RECLAIM IT ALL!!">
----------------------------------------
Salem continued as the Darkness of the Universe Bent to her Will...to her power to her STRENGTH!!
"The dark is generous, and it is patient.
It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
The dark's patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out."
--------------------------------------------
Across Time and Memory the Dark Deeds of the Universe came to being as the Cackling of Shadow darkness and misery came along.
You saw it all, the Rise of Darkness…
The Rise of Evil.
The Rise of Strife and Misery and Bloodshed…
Salem SHOWED IT ALL TO YOU!!
UNTIL YOUR MIND FELT THE STRAIN OF IT ALL!!
"STOP...MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!!
MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!!" You shouted in Agony as the Force seemed perverted and wrong as the Universe cried in agony alongside of you.
"Young fool, only now will you understand...UNDERSTAND that everything you've ever done and WILL DO is for NOTHING!!
NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!!" She said. "I will tell you the FINAL TRUTH!! And then only after I have broken your mind and soul of the Great Corinne Adversia...then you will have my permission to die."
------------------------------------------------------
"The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow."
---------------------------------
"And with that truth you will FINALLY understand that in the end, in spite of all the Universe's efforts to keep you alive you will fall, and you will die and I will RULE OVER YOUR KIND LIKE A GOD!!"
Why Do We Fall? To help someone Up
100 => 99 (Pass)
"And so thats your whole plan...become the very thing you swore to Destroy." A voice said sagely.
Eru?
"NO NO NO!! You are supposed to be GONE!!" Salem said.
The Masked beings said nothing as it turned to face you. "I am not my Brother, who guided your kind."
You looked at them and then began to cower in fear as Salem turned to face them.
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!! THEY ARE NOT YOURS TO PROTECT!!" Salem said.
"And they are not yours to Torment...Begone to the Netherworld where you belong...even if it won't hold you." She said.
Salem disappeared from sight as you cried in agony with the Universe.
"Child of Eru...you were not meant to feel the force in such a way especially not for the first time, calm yourself and know that there are better days ahead." The Force Priestesses said.
"I can't!! She will return, and she will destroy us...ALL OF US!!" You said.
"And you will be strong enough to stop her." She said.
"How…?" You said.
"While we cannot undo the Damage she has done with causing the Ratakan of this world to feel the force again, we can give you the strength to face it...but when the time comes to destroy this blight...you must do it not out of anger but duty." She said.
"I CAN'T SALEM ALWAYS WINS!!" You said.
"What can cast away the Darkness? She said.
"Light?" You said.
"You have more than just a candle to keep the darkness back...You have love...and that is enough." She said.
And like that Sanctuary came into the room to hug you as you closed your eyes and let the Priestess fade from view.
Sanctuary nodded and stroked your head. "You've all been through so much together...even before I showed up...but like Estel, your all still full of love...and thats enough."
Reward: Salem is a Dick and made the Ratakan's Infants feel the force again, this may be a problem if not dealt with within the decade.
But You've avoided the worse of Salem's newfound power…
And an Uncomfortable truth remains…
Salem lingers within the force.
