'What is the weakness of darkness? Can darkness be combined with fire? There's a lot of things that you could produce with a unique result that would baffle anyone'

"A flame on my right hand" I mumbled as I sat on the ground "And the darkness on my left"

I calmed myself and imagined these two elements appearing, the spirit who came along with me was watching me earnestly.

'Should I give it a name?'

I should think of one later, calling them spirits kind of brushes the wrong sides for me.

A burst of tiny flame appears with the ball of darkness from a swirl, I put hands together with the elements and thought of the elements not crashing together. 

A black flame is what I'm after.

Sweat runs down to my chin as I felt the elements taking over each other, so I in return imagined the source being me with energy I used being fused. 

'The elements may be different, but their source is the same'

I opened my eyes seeing the black flame swirl and I was shocked.

'I...'

"Liliel what's that?"

In instinct I threw the flames upward, causing an explosion while I cover my ears in fright.

'Well that was a failure'

I was disappointed, I sighed and cupped the spirit.

"Alright! let's give you a name!"

"A name?for me?"

"Yes!"

"Your name should be...Thanatos!"

The spirit tilted it's body.

"What's wrong?"

I felt my mana fading away, the air was suddenly struck by a breeze, a breeze that came from me, the air was filled the flickering lights of tiny orbs of blue-silvery glow while going inside of the spirits body.

'Is this my mana going inside them?'

It was draining my mana so quick that I couldn't react or do anything at this process. It was vague to give any explanation at this point, the process ended as his body glowed blue silvery light, it transformed into a more bigger ball of darkness, it's purple dot eyes didn't change, but the fur changed. A halo of darkness hangs above Thanatos, unexpectedly the three antennas were placed to it's bottom.

'Won't he look like a ball of darkness with halo and then these antenna's... it's a jellyfish'

"Liliel?what happened to me?"

This ball of darkness with purple dot eyes tiled.

'Ain't he cute?'

"It seems that you evolved..."

'Wait...'

Mana:100

Strength:300

'Did my strength just go up while my mana was depleted around more than thirty times of it's number?and...if my three thousand mana was depleted then...this ball of darkness'

I cupped Thanatos in my hand and looked at him nervously.

'Has my mana?!'

"Thanatos!"I said abruptly.

"Yes?"

Thanatos shoved into me, so I hugged him back.

"My clothes are rags though?"

"It's fine"

They rubbed their body to my chest, it seems that Thanatos is like a baby. 

'But let's return to the main subject'

"Sight of the Moon"I mumbled while staring at Thanatos.

'I don't know if this will work-'

Then a notification began to sound, the light window appeared in front of us and then I saw the status of Thanatos.

'That's it's skills?'

"Is that mine?"

"Yeah..."

I felt the dizziness coming to me again like before. I fell down on my knees while loosing my strength, my eyes were tired, everything in my body was tired. I grit my teeth, this is the first time that I've felt so weak.

'Is this what they call mana depletion? Damn it'

The occurrence of a deep sleep but then I feel my body that was weightless, as if I've been in this cycle, over and over again as the night with the darkness comes, everything grew dimmer, the vivid hands of mine to reality grew to acceleration, I was sleeping, my eyes closed like once again being captured by the darkness.

Why am I here?

Wasn't I depleted of mana?

I felt the chest of a man, his hands caressing the hair of mine gently as my tiny body of a toddler laid rest on his body with my head to his chest. 

Feeling the tranquility of solitude, the most quite place in all, the peace which everyone could deserve in a world of our of balance, where sin laid waste on the people and grew, such a place like earth was never meant for me.

I opened my eyes seeing him, a face of darkness, a faceless man as I stared unto him.

Why am I not afraid?

Who are you to haunt me?

He carried me on his arms while my hand held around his neck.

Who are you exactly?

I wasn't afraid, I felt the solitude of peace, I felt more free than I could ever wish for, this faceless man...

I wonder who are you?

It was a dream, a dream that made me feel the nostalgic feelings of being alive.

My other hand touched his chin, then the darkness lifted out of his lips, I widened eyes a bit, it was a smile that appeared on those lips of his. 

Why would you smile? 

Then those big hands of his held unto mine, strange.

Why don't I feel alarmed?

He carried me still as I observed everything surrounding us, the stone pillars like the ones you could see on a Greek temple, the fireflies flickered as the flowers unknown bloomed, the moon above the horizon showed it's beauty. The clouds were seen, we were in a tower, we were atop of it as we see the world, everything atop of this tower.

The more this continued, the more I felt more treasured and cared for, it was this that I was searching for, I wished for a scene like this in real life, but it was strange again, this and love are different.

Then I kissed the darkness filling the forehead of his without hesitation.

I felt different.

Why am I kissing a stranger?

It's like my body was moving on it's own.

My sunken heart covered in the coldness of the walls of iceberg melted.

What was I feeling? admiration? Or perhaps inspiration? One could not tell.

The man's lips smiled again.

His body was quite outstanding, the biceps and everything, maybe women and men will like him, maybe everyone would praise his body like a god, his attire was a white robe with the crescent moon in a darkened violet fabric on the edges of the robe as the stars were also printed on it.

Why are you faceless?

Questions were like a child's unending curiosity that flowed within my mind, what exactly is he?

Then he laid rest on his bed with me, his hands were hugging this tiny body of mine, then I turned my gaze to uncovered lips from the darkness and I widened my eyes as those lips would depart the words out of his mouth in silence.

'The darkness is yours'

As if like a ring given by a man whom wishes a marriage between souls, those words resembles the curses that place me in my place, yet as big as a burden as they were, they were also the comfort where my heart also rests.

Are you lonely?

He carried me once more in his arms while I observe his lips.

I don't know why, it's like I'm attached in a moment of dreams, I never felt this, it was the quintessence of peace.

His hand pointed at the moon and I too looked to the moon and looked back to his lips.

'The moon is beautiful isn't it?'

He gently hugged me more to him closely,more tightly in his arms.

I felt more close than ever, the touch resembled a man of loneliness, as of afraid of loosing the warmth that is present to his life, scared in his own solitude and there was more that I could tell as I close my eyes once more waking to the reality that I am placed.

"Liliel!" A vivid voice roared like echoes.

"Is he okay?"

My eyes opened, seeing the spirits changed, the once furr ball spirits were now like Thanatos. I was still in bed and my arm covered my face trying to remember the man whom I had a skin to skin of touches.

'What just happened? Who was that man? Who possessed me to not react to that man?'

I woke up, raising my still toddler body, I touched my forehead from the sudden headache I felt.

"What happened during the time that I was asleep?"

"Nothing happened Liliel"

"Is that so?"

Then who was that man in my dreams?
