[b][i][u]Hello Darkness, My Old Friend [/u][/i][/b]
Fionn sat, legs crossed, in the middle of a small clearing in the woods. His bone knife laid out bwfore him.
The darkness in his blade, in him, was growing, and it was hungering for more.
His skin seemed pale as he struggled to match his light to the darkness, subconsciously causing the snow around him to melt from the heat of his solar energy.
Long story short: he was in misery. He was dieing, his soul slowly eaten by the darkness. And niether his Ghost bor he could find a way to stop it.

He put his hand on her shoulder, "Sarah--" She turned to the Titan, tears running down her cheeks, her wings glowing firey orange. "YOU DID THIS!" She shouted, "YOU ARE A MONSTER, JAMES!! I WILL NEVER EVER TRUST YOU AGAIN!! LEAVE!!" "Fine," he pouted, "But you just lost your last shoulder to cry on." James marched away.
-
Fionn suddenly doubles over, clutching his head. "Gah!"
-
"You alright?" Sarah says turning back to Fionn.
-
He lies there, clutching his head. "S-sarah...?" He asks, eyes squeezed shut. "P-please don't leave." He sounds absolutely pitiful.
-
Her tears run down her cheeks, "I won't, Fionn, I promise."
-
"I don't want to be alone again..." He whispers, as though he didn't hear her. "He's... He's remembering! I" Wisp says. Fionn continues to clutch his head in pain, thrashing around slightly.
-
She doesn't leave Fionn's side.
-
He slowly stops thrashing and opens his eyes. "S-Sarah?" He asks, looking up at her.
-
"Fionn!" Sarah cries, "I'm sorry."
-
He reaches up, cupping her cheek and wiping away her tears. "Sarah... I remember."
-
She jumped up and hugged him, "You're okay. You're okay!" Her tears of sadness turned in joy.
-
He quickly returns the hug. "Well, I'm naw sure I'd go tha' far. My memory is still a bit... Fuzzy." "He's missing large sections of his memory still. When James killed him, his mind wasn't completely in the light. Large parts of it are still corrupted in darkness." Wisp informs them.
-
"I wanted to make sure that didn't happen..." She replied. "Sarah, that Darkness was inevitable," Lunar says. "No... I tried to wake up in time... I was too late to stop him."
-
Fionn ends the hug and rubs his head. "I can't remember much... I remember you, and... a few other people. My old fireteam... Wisp... J-James did this to me?" He asks.

-
"Why did he stab me?" Fionn asks, it's obvious he's scared bybhis failure to remember.
-
"Jealousy. He wants me back."
-
"Oh." Fionn looks at the ground. "I... Guess tha' was part o' what I forgot then."
-
"It's alright... Sometimes we forget.."
-
He frowns. "I can barely remember anything..." He rubs his forhead. "I remember you... Thank the light." He smiles. "An'... I remember the Traveler. And...." He frowns.
-
"You remember me.... that's what matters."
-
He smiles up at her, leaning in to kiss her.
-
She kisses him.
-
He holds the kiss for a moment before pulling back and hugging her. "Thank you... For naw leavin'." He tells her.
-
"Why would I ever want to leave you?" She asked.
