Description Part I:     Part III: 

Here we go, part II is here!  And I loved the way this turned out.  The style for this one is definitely better than the other one. Also yes, there is something in that first panel up there, you just gotta look closely.  I really liked this one and experimenting with the lighting aspects, of which there are many.  

This one is shorter than my most of my other stories, but it has a lot of time jumping.  Also, only Italics represent thoughts, I know you guys probably figure that out already, but I just wanted to say that as most of this one is just thoughts.

As always, let me know if you spot any grammar errors.  Its always a big help, thanks.  Now, enjoy the story!

What happened. . .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

She was weak. . .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

She was in despair. . .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

She was BROKEN!

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Wasn't she?

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

No, she wasn't.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Her strength has proven that.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Her willpower. . .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

It's inconceivable. . .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

There MUST be a way to break it!

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

There HAS to be a way.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

And I'm going to find it.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  

I'm not going to find it like this.

*slowly gets up*

Graaaahhhhhhh!

*panting*

It seems. . . I can finally. . . move again.  Now, where am I?

*looks around*

*spots a light in the distance*

Well now, what is that?

*slowly limps towards the light*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Image 3

*tiredly observes orb of light*

Hmmm. . . It's her, little light, and brother.

*touches orb*

*GASP*

Sunlight: Forest!  Forest!  Hey,*huff* I finally found you.  You really shouldn't be out here now, its almost dark.

Forest: .  .  .  .

Sunlight: Forest?

Forest: *turns to Sunlight with tears* Sis. W-why, why did they leave us?

Sunlight: *sad* *sits by Forest* Forest, they didn't leave us.  They-they didn't want to leave.  

Forest: T-then why did they leave?

Sunlight: They didn't, the train took them away.  

Forest: .  .  .  .  I miss Mom and Dad.

Sunlight: *tears* *hugs Forest* So do I Forest, so do I.

*steps away from orb*

*GASP*

*relieved sigh*

Her despair.  

I can feel it. Its pouring from this orb.

Its so. . . invigorating.

*observes the orb again*

This must be her memory.  Or at least, a memory.  

But why is it in here with me?  Her despair has healed me, and I can't imagine she would give me the means to do so. Unless, she doesn't know she did.  Hmmm. I wonder. . .

*looks around again* 

What else is in here with me?

*wanders in a random direction*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*hears something*

Hmm?  What is that?

*Walks towards sound*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*spots a light in the distance*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*it grows larger*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*and larger*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*and larger still*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

*stands before a barrier of light*

Image 4

*awestruck*

I-I can feel it!

This!  This is her power!  This is how she defeated me.  

Her power, it is greater than anything I could possibly have.

But I will find a way to break it.  I will find a way to break her.

*steps in front of the barrier*

Hmm. . .

*touches barrier*

*GETS SHOCKED*

ARGH!!

*reals back*

*huff* So, I can't break through.  Not in my current state.  And not with her strength that great.

*looks at the barrier again*

*hears sounds*

*squints into it*

Its her mind, her conscious mind.  Then I must be in her subconscious.  Interesting. . .

*focuses on the sounds*

.  .  .  .  .

It's her hearing!  And I can see her sight as well.  Intriguing.  

*sits and stares into the barrier*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

This place is incredibly empty.  I made my way back to the memory orb, seeing as its the only other thing in here, and I found it surprisingly quick.  Maybe her mind is not as vast I thought.  Wandering around I've found more memories, each one is full of the little light's despair, sadness, or anger. I've found that I can actually move them as well, so I've gathered them together.  And it seems new ones keep showing up every now and then.  I don't know why she is sending them to me here, but each one she sends gives me more strength.  But it is still a pitiful amount compared to her's.  Her power is just too great.  There's no way I could gather enough strength to break it myself.  Not on these memories, not with. . . . wait a minute.  The barrier, it looks, different.

I don't know how, but the barrier just seems, different to me.  Like, it's farther back.  

There seems to be more light and color around it than usual.

And, what is that?

*moves towards the barrier*

Is that, a hole?  In the barrier!?

*stands in front of the hole*

Its a tunnel.  But, this wasn't here before. And where does it go?

*steps into the tunnel*

Where does this lead?

*everything grows brighter*

*squints against the light*

*everything gets brighter still*

*eyes are barely open now*

*the light becomes blinding*

.  .  .  .

*exits the light tunnel*

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

What IS this place?

That's fine, I honestly don't feel like I'm telling this story clear enough anyway.  

And I've got a journal here  Guys, I need your honest opinions here.Hey guys, I'm here to ask you guys something.
 I want your opinions on my stories. Specifically Darkness's backstory.  I want you guys to give me your thoughts and opinions on this backstory specifically.  The reason for this is because I feel like the story currently is not as good as it could be, and I want to make it as great as the other backstories.   I know where I want to go with this story, but I'm not sure if the way I'm telling it is conveying that clearly to you guys.  That's why I'm doing this.
So here's what I want form you guys, I want you to tell me what it is specifically that you like or dislike about Darkness's backstory so far.  I don't want "I like the story overall" or "I hate this story, it sucks!".  I want you to tell me specifically, give me details.  Why do you like or dislike that part.  And be honest please, don't sugarcoat it if there's something you genuinely don't like.  But also give me a reason why. where I'm asking for people to tell me what it is they like or don't like about this story to help me tell it better.  If you want you can say what it is specifically that's confusing you about this.  I'd love to hear that so I can work on making this story as good as it can be.
