Legacy of Darkness

Many years ago.

Roisin and Syl were sword fighting in Atlas' apartment, while he was away. They were both in their young teenage years.

"One of these days, I'll kick your ass" Roisin laughed.

"Yeah right, I'd like to see you try" Syl chuckled.

The both put their swords down and looked out of the window toward Ishtall.

"I leave for Una Academy tomorrow..." Syl sighed.

"Since when?!" Roisin demanded to know. Syl frowned.

"I wanted to tell you sooner..." Syl shook his head. "But I couldn't find the courage to tell you" He added as he looked down at the floor. Roisin hugged him tightly.

"Look, it's your dream, you should always follow your dreams, life is too short to let chances pass you by. Go for it" Roisin smiled. Syl smiled slightly.

"You sounded almost wise then" He chuckled as he nudged Roisin

"I am pretty wisdomous sometimes, you know" Roisin winked.

"Yeah, you sure are" Syl laughed out loud. Roisin looked out of the window once more.

"Make me a promise though" Roisin sighed.

"Anything" Syl nodded.

"Don't go dying on me" Roisin smiled.

"On one condition" Syl replied.

"Hmm?" Roisin asked.

"You do the same" Syl smiled.

"I promise" Roisin nodded.

Back in present day. Several days after the events of Rivenlake.

Despite extensive injuries, Roisin held on to life, refusing to let go.
