Part IV: Part VI:

Finally, after a month we have the next part of Darkness' backstory! We are nearing the end of this backstory, only one more to go!

From now on ~~~~~~~ represents a time change.

I would like your feedback on the middle panels as well. I'm thinking of doing these for more motion oriented scenes, they're fairly easy to do and I think they look nice, but I'd also like to hear your opinions on them.

As usual, any grammar errors you spot please point them out and I shall fix them! Thanks, and enjoy the story!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Darkness: *groans* Uggghhh, what? *looks around* Did it work?

Sunlight: *stops and looks up slightly* Huh? Darkness? Come on, not now I'm kinda busy here.

Darkness: *looks up and sees Sunlight, smiles* Hehe, oh Little Light, it looks like your plans are about to change.

Sunlight: *confused* What are you talking about?

Darkness: *sinister laugh*

Sunlight: Darkness stop making that laugh, that got old a long time ago! What are you talking about? And why do you sound so different?

Darkness: I do believe your questions will be answered if you turn around.

Sunlight: *starts turning around* What does that me. . . .*jaw drops*

Darkness: Hello Little Light.

Sunlight: *shocked, a little scared* Wha-wha-WHAT! H-How!?

Darkness: *sinister* It appears that strange power worked! Whatever this Nightmare Night of yours is, it's freed me! HAHAHA!

Sunlight: *denial* B-but that's impossible! We can't both be out at the same time! We have the same body! There's no way you could be out!

Darkness: *threatening* Oh but I am! As you can plainly see. *prepares to use magic* And now that I am I can. . .*can't use magic* I can. . .*tries harder* Why is this not working!

Sunlight: *realizes* AHA! YOU CAN'T USE MAGIC!

Darkness: *annoyed* But why? I'm free from you!

Sunlight: *relieved* Phew, I don't know, but I'm sure glad that's not a problem anymore. Now, I do have a party to get to, so I'll see you later Darkness. *turns to go*

Darkness: What?! *thinks fast* *smiles evilly* But if you leave, then you'll miss out on this unique opportunity!

Sunlight: *stops confused* What are you talking about?

Darkness: *thinking fast* Think about it, I am here, right now, in front of you. The very reason you hide away all your fears.

Image: 3

Sunlight: *stutters* I-I don't know what you're talking about.

Darkness: *presses on, feigning concern* Oh come now Little Light. I know what you hide from everypony else. What you won't let any of them see. Not even dear brother.

Sunlight: Y-you don't know what you're talking about! I don't hide anything!

Darkness: *starts slowly walking around her* But you do, you've hid your feelings. You act as if everything is fine, that nothing can hurt you. But you've been hurt by everything. Everypony you've failed, Frost, your brother. . . Snowy.

Sunlight: *shocked at hearing the names* N-NO! I-I-I've moved on!

Darkness: Or so you think. You pretend to move on to make everypony else think you have. But you're just hiding away your pain. You hide it all away in the darkest corners of your mind. You hide your pain, with me.

Sunlight: *shocked, denial* But, but I have moved on! *voice starts cracking*

Darkness: No you haven't. You've bottled it up. And doing so can bring you great harm Little Light. That's why this is such a great opportunity.

Sunlight: *confused* W-what do you mean?

Darkness: Why do you hide your pain?

Sunlight: . . . .

Darkness: I think, you hide it because of me.

Sunlight: . . . .

Darkness: But doing so won't help you, it'll only hurt you.

Sunlight: W-what are you saying?

Darkness: I'm saying, that since I am out now, there is no reason for you to hide your pain. There is no reason to pretend it's all fine. You can feel the pain you've never allowed yourself to have. You can finally start to really move on.

Sunlight: . . . .

Darkness: What do you say, Little Light?

Sunlight: . . . . I . . . Ok.

Darkness: *smiles* Excellent! *moves around and sits in front of Sunlight* Then let's begin shall we.

Sunlight: *starts tearing up* O-Ok.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It worked! It may not have gone as I had planned, as I did not gain my freedom, but I've gained something just as valuable. Her trust, and even more, a way to find out all of her weaknesses. The power from this Nightmare Night, it has so much potential. It doesn't give me enough power to free myself, but it seems I can 'summon' myself with it. And as it turns out, I can use magic in this form, but only on Little Light herself, and I've made sure she won't find out, it could be useful after all. I look forward to next year when this comes. I already have some ideas to make this more, "interesting".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These past few years have been incredible. I've gained enough knowledge of her and control within her dreams to begin shaping the very dreams themselves. And Little Light is still unaware, in fact even the Harbinger can no longer sense my presence. In many of her visits I've even interacted with her, and she has been completely ignorant! I believe I can start trying out some ideas I have for the next Nightmare Night.

The Little Light is incredibly foolish. She reveals all her failures to me at these Nightmare Nights, giving me more and more of her weaknesses. I think, I may just be able to defeat her. But I still need more. Her will is still too strong for me to overcome on my own. I need something else to defeat her, but what? What else is there to break her?

It only seems as if she's getting stronger. Her new "friend" has been doing an annoyingly good job of it so far. She even interrupted our last Nightmare Night, and instead of weakening Light Light, she only got stronger! If I'm going to be free from the Little Light, that "friend" needs to be gone!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I realized something. I finally know now, with absolute certainty, that I will be free. Today her "friend" left her, and what's better, it almost destroyed the Little Light!

Image 5

I thought her mind was going to break right then and there! The barrier itself was becoming pure despair and started to crumble. I could've easily taken over her mind right then and there. But I didn't, I can tell that she still has some strength left. And that may just be enough to defeat me again. I need to make sure she is completely destroyed! That there will be no chance of her returning!

There's still something, or rather, somepony, giving her the strength of will to keep going. I just need to figure out who. But I believe, based on this, that the list of possible ponies is quite short.

It doesn't matter how long it takes Little Light. For now I know you will fall, and if I'm right, it will be those closest to you, that will help me do it.
