Barrets End

[Barrett]

Its been forever since I've seen a fellow Greyfox, maybe it is true, maybe I should return to the North wind and reconnect with the elders. Wait is that? Harley and Ryd? They look different, Stronger, but something is off about them. I remember walking over to them but a mad like giggle escaped who I think is Harleys lips. I remember taking a step back but who I thought was Ryd was behind me. I knocked into him it was like hitting a Stone wall of a castle. now the mad giggle became a Laughter of craziness. I remember pulling my blade and trying to side step out so I could get the upper hand if need be, But I heard a whisper it said "Embrace the Darkness Barret, become a Warrior of Darkness, everyone has left you come to the darkness and you will be home." I blinked seeing the woman before me tilt her head to the side looking at me, I could not tell if it was Harley or not because of the Mask she and the man was wearing. But it felt like I knew them my whole life. Of course I said no to the darkness until the woman and the man removed their mask it was Harley and Ryd. Their faces were scared but I knew it was them. "Harley, Ryd its me Barret" I said. What happens next is blurry but as soon as I said it was me, Harley drew a dagger and...........and she jabbed it into my eye, ripping the blade out from the socket. I felt pain as I dropped to my knees holding my eye. A mad laughter is all I heard from Harley as she danced around laughing. As I held my eye Ryd came over moving my hand away from my eye. He spoke but his lips did not move. "Do you accept us? Do you accept who you are? Do you accept the Darkness?" I looked up at him with my good eye and nodded. he placed his hand over my eye and I felt this substance flow through my eye and my body. "WHHHHAAAAAAR" I screamed in pain but it felt good. He moved his hand away as a black oil substance came leaking out of his eye where Harley stabbed me. I began to choke spitting up more black substance for a couple minutes..it would not let me go unless I truly accepted the darkness. "I.....I....Accept!" Within seconds I was no longer choking, the pain was gone. Harley told me rise and I did. She layed her head on my chest and embraced me. "Welcome home" She said. Ryd is now known as Draven extended his hand to me and I grabbed it feeling the power of the darkness even more.

"Hey Barret wake up" *Blinks his eye open and sits up seeing Draven and Harley by the camp fire* "Lets eat" Draven said to Barret as Harley would wave to him chewing on some boar they killed. I was now part of the Darkness but I still remember.......
