These will chronicle Locnil's absence from the RPG. He will not return until the time-skip Roxas and I have planned has been enacted.

Episode 1: Training With SunStar

Locnil had finally mastered the Twilight powers bestowed upon him centuries ago. He and SunStar would spar every now and then to hone his skills, and the victor was decided by who struck first. If Locnil struck first, SunStar would win, same thing the other way around. Locnil had asked SunStar to accompany him simply because he knew he would have to train in order to best Eubelle at her current level. Had they fought back in the Lycan Sapphire Temple, Locnil would be a dead man.

There was also the concept of Luna attacking him. SunStar viewed the possibilities of what Luna would do, especially since she may believe that Eubelle's transformation was Locnil's fault and may join her in her quest for vengeance. Her personal reason, or so SunStar figured, would be that Locnil had stepped in when she and Roxas had fought over Roxas' freedom and ability to see visions. SunStar was not sure how things would unfold, but Locnil agreed he would have to be ready. Whenever he struggled, he made himself think of Eubelle, or Luna, killing Roxas before his eyes and this gave him the strength to pull through.

(He gets his strength from his determination to protect Roxas, even if he had to die in her place. Hell, Locnil would wipe out his whole family if it ensured Roxas' safety. Overprotective? I don't know.)

"Very good," says SunStar, who had just watched Locnil defeat a Light Doppelganger of Eubelle, which was low level, for Locnil's safety. "Very soon you should be able to take her at her current level."

"I can hardly wait," Locnil panted.

He hated the fact that he had been so weak all these centuries. Eubelle could've utterly destroyed Leroy "Changer" Souroth with a speck of her current power had she taken him on instead of Locnil.

Episode 2: The Light Discovers The Dark

Antoine Mokosink had just been in an operation in Italy where he had to face a werewolf, or "Lycan" as Locnil would put it, that had been enhanced by the Dark Power. Antoine knew that no Darkling could go wild without the influence of He-Who-Reigns-Down-Below, and worked to kill the affected creature. Two innocent bystanders had tried to play heroes and sought a way to avoid killing the creature. Their efforts to prevent the creature's death were successful, for it showed that the creature, a young lady named Roxas Foxx, had been attacked and overcome by an Evildoer's meddling. He then issued many orders:

-The Evildoer was to be bound and sent away for execution.

-Mrs. Foxx (for it seemed she was married, and yet had not changed her name) restrained and sent to be examined for the "Devil's Influence" as it was known in order to ensure that she would not be a threat.

-The two bystanders, whose names were revealed to be Ash Williams and Marty Werkheiser, arrested and imprisoned for the crime of Obstruction Of The Sovereign's Firm Justice, and to await a trial which would be heard by the Sacred Council, made up of the chief religious leaders of the Three United Faiths In The Sovereign (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the many sects that are affiliated with them), as it concerned a possible battle with the Evil One himself. If convicted of the charge, the two young men would be put to death.

After the battle, Antoine received a report that a man using the Dark Power had been sighted deep in the forest accompanied by a golden wolf. He has been looking into the golden wolf as it had been last seen on the Italian island he had fought the corrupted Roxas Foxx on, some weeks prior to the battle itself. Antoine now wonders if another corrupted entity will appear in the forest now that the golden wolf has been sighted there. Antoine then decided to look into the man who had been sighted with the golden wolf. When he saw a photo of the man's face, he nearly choked on his morning coffee.

There was a reason why this was. That reason was that the man resembled Locnil Fignirf, Antoine's best friend, who had died centuries upon centuries ago. But then, it's possible that the man could have come from the Darkman clan, founded by a descendant of Locnil's grandson, Tellioth Fignirf, who was named Shadow Darkman many centuries ago. Every so often, a baby boy would be born to the clan and would receive the same name as the founder of the clan, Shadow Duské Darkman. Yes, maybe Antoine could get some answers concerning Locnil's prophesied return from this guy, and maybe his glowing little pet would be of some help, as well.

Episode 3: The Dark Escapes The Light

Locnil awoke from a nightmare in which he saw himself being confronted by his best friend, Antoine Mokosink, the current commander-in-chief of the Starfaring Peacekeepers. In the dream, the two had met on opposing sides, and a battle had broken out.
