       "Well, knowing Hackel back over in the Dominion... He'd fight
       teeth and nail to keep it preserved... Chaos knows I would."
       Natasha was too taken aback by the splendor and sheer raw nature
       of the place. As she took the blossom and cradled it gently; oh,
       how she wished the separatists had not been able to tear the
       land of Dremsilaar. Still, her mind would quickly be taken by
       the violet hue that soon engulfed them... She had no words...

       The sound of wings flapping commenced, they echoed for a bit
       after they had stopped.  Soon through the entrance stumbled an
       exhausted, younger version of Darkenlight.  The scar on his
       right eye was but a few months old and yet still looked fresh.
       His wings were in terrible condition, a miracle he had made that
       flight.  He looked over his shoulder as if expecting someone to
       be there, but then sighed as he simply dropped to his knees at
       the water's edge.
       Darkenlight looked at Natasha for a moment before looking back
       at what had happened here.
       This was but a child, one who had been forced from home and
       lonely as ever.  He covered his face and one could see tears
       flow through the fingers as the sound of soft sobbing which
       echoed like every other noise around.  After a few minutes, the
       past Darkenlight stood and glared at the sky then off passed
       Natasha.  "I promise you, Father, I will earn your forgiveness.
       As for the Mobians that tread this planet, I will never trust
       them again! From this day forth, I am no longer a weeping child
       but a warrior, a true warrior!" he shouted, voice noticeably
       different as it was higher in pitch.
       The violet faded away as the flower closed.  Yet again
       Darkenlight looked at Natasha, not uttering a word.  His eyes
       said it all; he would trust those who were like her and Ajax,
       stand by their side through everything, and forever be in their
       debt for what they had showed him.

       "You said you'd never trust anyone... But..." A tear rolled down
       her cheek. "You trusted Ajax... and you trusted me..." She
       glanced down, one of her tears splashing gently on the blossom
       in her hands before she pressed it against her chest and closed
       her eyes. To think, that she had managed to make him do
       differently, to believe that some Mobians were worth being
       friends with. "Well... I'm glad you reconsidered." Natasha gave
       Darkenlight a warm smile before hugging him tightly, holding the
       petal between her fingers.

       Darkenlight didn't say a word, just hugged back.  "A true
       warrior is only a true warrior when he has friends, family to
       look out for and care for," he told her, "otherwise, he's just a
       kid with a stick running around beating people over the head
       yelling things like 'that headache will now be sticked there'."
       As Darkenlight laughed at his own little joke, another flower
       sprouted up next to the old one.  A new moment captured in time.

       Natasha giggled lightly at the phoenix's joke; "Sounds a lot
       like my childhood bullies; they're not royalty though, now are
       they?" She gave Darkenlight a kiss on the cheek before brushing
       the blossom against his nose, giggling. Even though she did not
       know that the next flower holding this memory had sprouted, she
       would not need it; it would be held carefully to her heart
       forever.

       "Best we get you back to the castle, your majesty," Darkenlight
       chuckled as he got down to allow her to get on his back again.
       He had enjoyed this day, just as much as Natasha had.

       "Yes, best." The feline smiled and climbed onto his back gently,
       smiling as she held tight. "Say... When we get back... Would you
       fancy another feast?.." She nuzzled against his back, being
       careful not to hinder his wings; that would be a nice way to
       finish up a day... again...

       Darkenlight chuckled and gave her a nod to answer her question.
       This time, after making sure Tasha was secure, he leapt off and
       swooped up into the sky.  It wasn't long until they were back at
       the castle.  The Phoenix yawned as he landed, a good feast would
       make him feel better.  And who knows what he had planned for the
       next day.

       Natasha smiled as they flew through the air, but she quickly
       closed her eyes and pressed her head against Darkenlight; she
       had enjoyed this time, and enjoyed his company. Most of all
       though, she had enjoyed stuffing him like a piņata and sleeping
       on his bloated gut, but that was another thing entirely. As they
       landed at the castle, the feline was quick to make her way to
       his quarters, leading the phoenix along; with how he had yawned,
       he probably would enjoy a big feast and a long nap.

       Darkenlight looked tired as he was lead to his room.  He knew a
       feast awaited him and that tonight would end well.
