• She dashes behind a large oak tree. Serena puts a hand on the hilt of her sword. The whispers of the forest sprites are teasing her hearing. Concentrating harder she focuses on the words of Dmitri, the Dark Sprite. Gathering the sprites and focusing their excitement on her magic. Her eyes take on the purple tinge they usually do when her magical essence is present. Raising her sword she screams “FOR LIGHT!” Her sword bursts into a fury of purple flames. She charges Dmitri and slashes for his legs. He jumps and pulls out his blade Lightslayer.
    Raising the blade above his head Dmitri faces towards the ground and slashes for Serena. Serena raises Darkbiter and two opposites clash in a gale of sparks and light. “Dmitri in the name of light, I swear Melina will get vengeance. As her protector and friend I swear this. You have my oath that I shall never forget the pain and heartache you have caused us all.” Serena growled and spat at Dmitri.
    “Why my dear Serena, I was only trying to bring my people peace. I had no idea of the outcome Melina’s followers would have to face. What would you do to help the people who now follow you in Melina’s place hm?” Dmitri spoke in mock innocence. Selena kicks Dmitri in the groin and attempts to smash his head in with the hilt of Darkbiter. “I would at least think of the suffering of innocents. Little more then you ever have. You deserve no mercy Dmitri.” As the hilt comes closer to Dmitri he reaches up and grabs Serena’s hand. “You insolent fool! I have thought of the innocents! They were never to have any part in this! They just put themselves in the pattern of Darkness!” Dmitri shouted. His eyes were pitch black through and through. There was no white to be seen in his murderous gaze. Dmitri grabs Serena’s other hand and holds her still. “I give you a taste of my mercy. Go. Flee from my presence. I have no wish to smite you yet.” His gaze softened for only a moment.
    Selena is shocked to silence. She could almost see the love in his eyes she used to see before Darkness consumed him. They were old lovers, Selena and Dmitri. They stood side by side with each other and Melina for years. Then one day Dmitri met Vantrnos. Vantrnos was a man of Darkness. He gave Dmitri an off he couldn’t refuse, immortality. As long as Dmitri wasn’t taken down by blade or magic, he would live forever and if in any case Vantrnos would die, Dmitri would be the new Dark Sprite. The Dark Sprite is the ruler of Darkness. Darkness is an entity of evil. Light however is the total opposite.
    Light. It has been around longer then any one thing. For when Light was created, Darkness was made after. Light is about the good in the world. No one person can contain Light, It is in everyone of us just as Darkness shows even in the best of people.
    “I will be seeing you soon Dmitri, for at the moment I have no desire to kill you either. You have my Oath for I swear on the Deoria River that I will avenge Melina.” With that Selena dashed away from Dmitri, headed back towards Deoria.
