...Darkness...is so common in this world. You see, Joshua...Despite all of you...trying to end it...I have...been reborn. My power...it returns each passing moment...now. Come into my cold embrace. Darkness will swallow you...
Joshua looked up at the floating figure. A sinister aura surrounded him.
"I am, Joshua Lightwalker...The one who was never meant to exist...the one who's fate is to save the world for eternity...yet I lose all I hold dear...this...is what...I am..." Joshua said, falling to his knees.
"So. Giving up your hope? Your life? Then let me end it for you. You may find peace in oblivion...where...you shall rest." the figure said solemnly.
"Dad...Mom...Everyone...I...I know you all hate me...and what my darkness did was unforgivable...but I intend to end it all here. I will stop my suffering and pain. Darkness within me, Come! Strike me down if you can!" Joshua yelled, drawing his swords.
Blue sparks surrounded Joshua, while Black ones circled around his dark copy. They rushed at each other, causing the ground around them to be torn up. Soil and rocks were thrown everywhere. Joshua looked in surprise as the dark copy lowered his swords.
"You...must not die. The darkness...cannot live without light. You are incomplete. You have no heart. Absorb me. Return to the twilight. From there, the light awaits you. Do not give up."
"...I've already made my choice. I no longer wish to fight. I want to be alone...to spend eternity, in sorrow, for what I am...what I have become...Go. I will not stop you."
"Joshua...Wait. You can't simply..."
"Goodbye. My purpose in life has been diminished. I failed. Farewell, everyone..."Joshua said, before walking off into the night.
