DEATH OF DARKNESS CONTINUED



     He looks at Darkness lifeless body, wishing he could bring her back so that he could have the pleasure of slowly torturing her to death. Lord Viper Of Orc is relieved that it was not by Urantia's hand that his beloved Morningstar was slane. It is his beloveds voice that breaks into his thoughts. He is not surprise when he looks up to find Morningstar's blue-green eyes staring at him. Urantia had morphed, but he had not seen her do so, to busy was he contemplating on Darkness.
     "You must go now my Lord. I will take care of Darkness. Get Lady to Lord White Hawk, he will know what to do. He knows how to counteract the poison of Darkness claws."
     "I will go for now, but I shall reture for you."
     "There will be no one here to return for. Go to your home, come see me in a few days and please make sure that Lord Hinari does not see you." 
     Her voice was low and soothing to his ears, but he knows she is not his Morningstar. She may look like her, and talk like her, even walk and laugh like her. But she is Urantia of Darkness, Shapeshifter, Assassin, his private property. As he passes her by she reaches our and touches his leg. He stops, shifts Lady in his arms and looks down into the eyes of Urantia once again.
     "Lord Hinari does not know of your past?" He asks in a soft whisper. She shakes her head no in responce. "You need to tell him Urantia. You are legally my property and I have no intentions of setting you free. You may keep him as a lover, but that is all I will allow Urantia. I will not speak of tonights events to another. I will come to you soon."
     She watches him leave, knowing he is right. She has a debt to pay off, it is her punishment for her failure, decreeded by her family. They sold her to him and she must be Morningstar until he deems she has paid enough. Rising she finishes morphing into Urantia Of Darkness. Gently lifting Darkness up, she walks to the edge of the railless balcony and stops. She kisses her sisters cold cheek and whispers, her voice full of the tears that do not fall.
     "Forgive me Darkness."
     Darkness weights nothing to Urantia. She stretches out her arms, holding Darkness body over the edge. Her head rises up to the full moon, she smiles remembering how much Darkness loved howling at the moon. She opens her mouth and chants in the most beautifully soft, saddest voice, the song of passage. All around her the howls and the roars of the ancients ring out. The moon bathes them in its luminous glow. 
     From the ground below, Lord Viper turns with Lady in his arms and watches.
     All around Urantia the wind howls, cutting through her, lifting Darkness out of her arms, forcing her down to her knees.  Urantia is helpless to react, as her body falls forward she tumbles to the edge, forced by the howling winds. Gripping to the edge she clings for her life as she watches Darkness body being attacked by the howling winds. Like a rag doll Darkness lifeless body dances in the air.
     Suddenly the howling stops, the winds die down and Darkness Of Shadow's body hangs in the air in front of Urantia. Rising Urantia reaches for her sister body. As she touches her, Urantia shapeshifts into Morningstar and breaks the last hold the winds had on Darkness body. She watches as her sister's lifeless body tumbles through the air, as it crashes towards the ground.
     The loud plop of Darkness body hitting the ground, sets Lord Viper moving in search of Lord White Hawk. Lord Viper is not worried about Urantia, he knows that she can take care of herself.
     Up on the tower, Urantia falls to her knees, mourning the death of her sister. After what seemed like hours, but was only minutes, she rises, morphs into the panther and races down the stairs. She crashes through the door, shattering it to cinders. Racing through the hills and mountains of her realm free, she savors the night that she so loves. Upon reaching the lands of her mansion, she morphs back into Morningstar. Locking Urantia Of Darkness away for now, she becomes the Lady Of The Manor, Mistress Morningstar
