Light Queen and Light Guardian needed each other.

Every time a Light Queen would be born, she will be assigned a Light Guardian.

When Persephone said that no one had any idea how powerful Devian was, she was not joking.  No Light Guardian has ever carried darkness within them and survived. But Devian, he carried that huge amount of darkness within him and survived with his nature intact and his sense of good and bad alive.

It was not until a particular time period that he started going darker.

So when Berith threatened Delia and attacked Devian, he had no idea that Light Guardian was one of the most powerful born till now. He carried so much pure light energy in him that when one of the most powerful demon attacks he was subdued by just one blow from Devian.

The Light dormant in his soul broke out sending the demon back to hell.

Not only did he carried the Light of his own, he soon realized that Delia gave up her half of her own to keep him alive as long as possible not realizing that he already carried enough power within him. Just like Light Queen was meant to carry darkness, he was meant to use his Light to destroy it but never before he knew he was that powerful.

Now it came to his realization, Light Queen was never meant to carry it all alone. He was supposed to be her Guardian and her partner. If she was the mental strength in this, he had to be her physical support. He was supposed to fight off darkness with his Light before it reaches the Queen who can block it in her body protecting mankind.

"If you kill me now, the world succumbed to darkness, your Queen is too weak at the moment."

It was completely never her fault, she was not supposed to handle all the burden alone. It was Delia's persistence and determination to save Devian that was keeping her soul together. 

"She is not going to be  alone." He said and walked towards Pandora who herself was in a fragile state.

"What?" She asked thinking about plans to escape.

She was getting terrified of the Light Guardian who was standing shield to the Light Queen right now after surviving a battle with a demon.

"I have enough light to ward off darkness for her for eternity," Devian said raising his sword to finish the eternal darkness by finishing Pandora once and for all.

Pandora let out a dry laugh causing Delia to feel pity for her for a moment.

"You think I wanted it, the darkness, the pain, the cursed eternity. Even if I die, evil remains, it has always been inside mankind. I was just sent to trigger it." She said staring with her haunting black eyes at them.

"Carrying the darkness will come with consequences, maybe it will take longer for you but you will learn." She said grinning with bloodied mouth making her look even scarier.

"You shouldn't have to carry it alone, " Delia said in a soft weak voice.

Pandora just stared at the Light Queen she was just about to kill.

"But I am just the bearer of evils, the beautiful punishment to mankind. Isn't that what women are supposed to be." She laughed and surprising both Delia and Devian tears fell down her dark eyes.

"You are scared of death," Delia muttered grabbing Devian's arm for support to stand.

"I am scared of losing power before Zeus sends me from man to man, country to country to exact revenge for mistakes done ages ago. I want power because that is how I am free." She yelled in despair and anger.

Then it dawned on Delia what this is all about.

Just like everything in this world, they were supposed to carry both dark and Light.

She untangled her hand from Devian's grasp and limped forward. Devian came closer but she stopped him pleading him with a look.

Pandora sneered, "Either you are brave or foolish."

But she didn't move or attacked when Delia came closer, instead, she looked wary.

"Maybe, we can share," Delia said in a small voice.

"NO!" Both Pandora and Devian shouted at once.

For a flickering moment, Pandora's jet black eyes turned a shade of brown. Before anyone could react Delia smiled to herself and grabbed Pandora's hand. And then she felt it, the storm raging inside her, the hot and the cold, nausea, the light, and the darkness.

A strong force hit her chest and she opened her eyes.

The light around them faded and they were standing on the road in the middle of the town, the moon shining overhead.

She heard Wendy and Crocell gasp who were outside the barrier of light and dark surrounding Devian, Delia and Pandora.

She looked at Pandora now feeling her whole body ache and herself stifled a surprised gasp.

She was beautiful to the point that it was blinding.

Zeus sent her to be a beautiful distraction, revenge on mankind who he thought betrayed him.

She had thick, lustrous brown hair and warm brown eyes with lashes to be envious of. Her lips were full and pink, her skin flawless, her cheeks with the color of peaches and nose crafted sharp. She was the kind of beauty everyone would desire.

And hence that beauty was dangerous for her. It tortured her soul to the core so much that she started harboring all the evil.  She was not the vessel for bad, her harsh cursed life made her into one as centuries of being a tool for Zeus revenge. She was evil created by mankind.

Her eyes carried all the hurt and pain as she stared at her fingers, her skin back to normal. She sobbed and fell on her knees.

Delia and Pandora were both carrying balance of lIght and Dark now, not being overwhelming for either of them, yet. Delia sat down on her knees too and pulled Pandora in for a hug not knowing how else to console a girl being tortured for all her life enough to herself become Darkness.

"You girl is too nice," Wendy mumbled to Devian who was in awe of Delia.

She deserved to be the Queen, the carrier of Light. Goodness in her heart was astounding and rare, she was good enough to defeat the darkness herself.

Pandora silently sobbed on Delia's shoulder like she was not about to kill her a few moments ago.

Sudden there was a rumble of thunder and ground started cracking open.

"Now this is a hindrance," Persephone's voice surprised them and ground broke under them as they all landed in hell.
