Light and Shadow [active]

[moardarknessplz.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Ansem and Yorda
Content: Science!
Setting: Under City Hall
Time: Shortly after Yorda's kidnapping
Warnings: Ansem

Some people might have been inclined to wait to move on into the next stage, once a suitable subject had been obtained. Ansem was not one of those people. He had the girl, so he saw no further reason to delay. Thankfully enough, he'd already managed to find a suitable place to keep her, and it was the simplest of tasks to have his portal bring them out there. All that was left was to wait for her to recover fully from his own blast.

Yorda didn't know why this stranger wanted to know about her island. Rarely had anyone ever wanted to know before, often being more concerned with the here and now, perhaps. But she told Ansem about it nevertheless, about the birds and grasses, the tress and stones, about the ocean, which she had never been allowed to go near, and the warm sunlight she so loved. She told him about the windmill where the white doves liked to gather, and the castle gate (for her mother's castle took up most, if not all, of the island) which loomed large over all else in the courtyard.

She she told him of the shadows, ruled by her mother. The girl shuddered to recall them, bringing her arms up to wrap around herself - a way of bracing herself against those memories. But she did not tell Ansem of the horned boy, who had saved her.
