As the darkness is revealed in ones soul they lose
sight of their life and ponder the origins of sin.

She looked out the cave and sighed....."Misti you
don't need to be so distant you are among friends, we're here to help you babe and some of us are
here for other reasons as well" he said softly. She looked to him silently....I was
born one year after he returned from the mountains
...who am I Artimus ...What am I. Knowing the feelings she was
feeling he ugged her closely and spoke softly as she looked
into her hands silently....."you're you....and if you mean your parentage, you may be part demon,
but that's not a bad thing. Mistique
she looked into his eyes silently...."isnt it?" "No Misti it's not, you
have power, it's your choice how you use it." he said as
she looked to him silently and then she turned away as he continued ..Look Misti my father was an Angel
and I spilled innocent blood on the High
seas for years, before I met Jaira I wasn't a good person Misti. She
listened to him talk and sighed as she turned back to him
..."why did you kill Artimus?" "I was a pirate
once I told you that, we lived for the gold nothing else mattered" he said
silently and she looked to him remembering what he had
told her as it seemed so long ago...."Yes...I remember
now." He looked to her and continued..."now I have a mission in life and a
daughter I never see..we choose our paths in this world.
He stopped talking and she looked to
him and sighed then she looked toward Marion..."well ...at least you
changed for the better .."Where is your daughter Artimus?
He sighed and answered softly..."with family"
then looked away. |

She looked at him silently and smiled..."Oh ...
well at least she isn't alone. "Misti...your heritage
doesn't change your path" he said as he took her hand...."only you
can do that and you have a responsibility to others to use the
power you weild to help those who need it like Micheal." She looked at him as he held her hand and
sighed.... "I...dont know what to do
Artimus, Michael is dead how can I help him ....He looked to her and
smiled..."by giving him and others the rest they deserve and a
proper good-bye." She sighed and looked
out the door into the darkness....but how? Simple, we kill whatever has
tainted your father, cut off the head and the body will
fall." he said slowly. She looked to him not understanding..."but Artimus ...my father is dead ...he has no
body, he lives in the wind..." Artimus turned to her silently... then we'll give him one
and kill the evil within." She looked to
him not believing what she was hearing and cried out ..."give him a body
so that he lives...no that would be death to me ..if he
caught me he would bring his wrath upon me for
bringing you here!" Artimus placed his arm around her and looked into her
eyes..."I won't let anything happen to you, you have my word
and I'll bring my wrath upon him if he tries."
She turned and looked to the night as Michael stood out side. She
stood slowly as she
looked to the darkness and Artimus looked in the direction she was and
pulled her back saying softly to her....."it isn't him
anymore only in appearance not in spirit there's only one
thing to do, give him peace." |

She looked down to him and then outside and sighed
as the figure outside screamed and disappeared. Misty..we do what we do because it's right
and what's right is rarely easy." She
looked back to him and whispered softly..."he hates me now.."
Artimus looked to the mouth of the cave and sighed..."no he doesn't, he
was your friend...he risked everything to be
your friend, someone has to care alot to do that" She sat and looked
to the ground silently.."yes he was a good friend ." then
she smiled slightly remember as they had run through
the cave as children and then as she got older they had become close.
She looked out into the night and sighed
whispering..."he lost his life because of me ." Misti, he
lost his life because of your father ...his life
was a happy one because of you." he said as he looked at
her. She looked to him suddenly as the winds rushed onto the cave
entrance stoping suddenly....as she turned and looked at
Arimus she said whispering..."my father was
protecting me ..so he said" ...then she turned and looks away.
Artimus stands and looks
into her eyes...."Misti, if I have to kill every demon on this island to
fix this I will, he was sheltering you, not protecting you, he hid
you from life, you are very special and deserve
to be happy." She watched him as he stood there talking and sighed
softly..."Sheltering me...what do you mean Artimus? why
would he hide me from life...?" |

Artimus looked at her softly and smiled..."to make
you one of darkness...if Fincanon hadn't
showed up when he did you may have began killing at your fathers side,
isn't that what he was training you to do?" She looked at him
with horror in her eyes as she imagined
what that would have meant ..."but that would have meant being one with
him?" She stood slowly as if the world she had known was
changing rapidly..and spoke almost silently..."he was showing me how to ..manipulate....
people, how to make them do things." Artimus looked at her and the look in her eyes and
slowly reached out to her.."it wasn't him
Misti, it just looked like him and he will pay for what he's done.
Misti before this thing
entered him he was a good man I know he was." She looked sadly into
his eyes as she cried silently thinking of the things she had
done and shook her head slowly..."I knew him
as he was now only... he was my father and I did as he said."
Artimus held her stroking
her hair softly as he talked... It wasn't your fault or his, it was what
controled him. She pulled away slowly and looked to
him..."Artimus, then who am I ...if not my real fathers..whos daughter am I?" he could see the pain
in her eyes as she looked at him with
tears in her eyes. He smiled and held her softly in his arms as he
spoke quietly to her .."You are what you choose to be, nothing
more, nothing less...you are what you let yourself
become." |

She looked into the cave and pulled away from him
as she walked toward the darkness... deeper
inside the cave wishing to be alone to think of the past and the reality
of what she was. She watched the walls dim away as she walked
deeper inside the caves of her youth as she
thought silently crying. She stopped and sat silently as the
darkness soothed her mind
remembering the past and the things she had found out in the last few
days. Artimus sat waiting for her, knowing what it was
like to wander..not knowing who you are.
Mystique looked into her hand as it began to give off a dim light
then bursting into a flame,
she watched the fire in her hand as she looked to the blue flame and
sighed. She then
placed her other hand next to it and the flame jumped to the other and she
laughed slightly. Artimus sat looking into the
darkness she had and considered going after her but
didn't giving her the time she needed to be alone. Mystique stood
slowly and began walking to the cave entrance as the flame lit the
way. As she walked Artimus saw the light
given off by the flame and spotted her and called to her..."are you
alright?" She looked up to Artimus as she near the cave and the
flame in her hand began to dim, she droped
her hand and smiled as she looked to him ..."yes" she walked to him and
huged him slightly and kissed his cheek..and
whispered..."thank you." |
