    Wow, least my Wii online connection still works. :P

    That means, until my comp is fixed, this'll be the only form I'll be able to speak to you guys.

    God this took forever to type. They really need a keyboard attachment for the Wii.

    Whoo. I know how that is. And the messages are limited to so many words, so it can be pretty aggrivating.

    Well, hope you manage to get your computer fixed.

    Nothing's perfect, so I gave it a 9/10. It may be my favorite Zelda game, but that doesn't mean I'll give it a 10/10 because of it.

    The one major flaw for it:

    Oceans... Oceans...
    Oceans... Oceans...

    Oceans as far as the eye can see...

    Even with the Wind Waker and the wind blowing in your designated direction, it was very long, and quite boring... especially when searching for the Triforce pieces.
    Oops, I missed it! Back up! *Wind Waker theme, pick direction*

    Oops, missed it again! Bugger! *Wind Waker theme, pick direction*

    Whoops, not directly above it! *WW theme, pick direction*

    ...Can be quite repetitive.
    Other than that, love the plot, love the characterization, and the dungeons could be challenging or easy enough to get through.

    ((I apologize for the brief downtime. Had a poweroutage, so I couldn't update yesterday... I might begin going this new route instead, a post every other day [as I don't make posts very often].

    Just to point out with this entry -- it contains a VERY vital point that will impact Darkrai's future dramatically. I won't point it out to you now... but I will mention it once more before Darkrai's world... Well, let's just say his life is about to change soon. Soon...))

    The She-Darkrai...

    ...
    ...

    Several nights have passed, and tonight is one special night indeed. It marks the period where She -- Cresselia -- and I's powers are equally divided. It is on such a night I hope to someday gain the victory I have so longingly and so patiently waited for.
    If I ever come across Her in my travels to-night, I will be sure that She does not flee from me... She cannot deny me my challenge, one that I have failed time and again to achieve. However... if She manages to avoid me, as She has for so many Moons, I can only continue to wait...

    As several nights have passed since the last I updated, I have come across the She-Darkrai many times.
    I can remember one such night...

    She finally speaks to me, villainous thing. I brought up the Pact between the Shadow Master and I, and I scolded her for making a mockery of my Sinister Being. I even went so far as to remind her that there is only one Original Prince of Darkness.
    And how does she reply?

    With giggling. Amused, and unwavering giggling. It was as if my Dark Heart had no effect... The poison in my voice was completely smothered by her own rivaling Dark Heart. Because she was like I, she was immune to my hatred for her. She... enjoyed the torment I bestowed upon her. As it is such, sticks and stones may break bones... but words cannot harm thee.

    What was I to do? The Bringer of NightMares, the Most Malevolent, had been struck down with child-like laughter from a being no more and no less different than I. With such a response, I remained silent. I had grown speechless. No one had ever dared mock the Great Darkrai... and live to tell any tale about it. As I was face to face with my own self, a mirror image in the form of the opposite sex, I felt my thoughts grow foggy and useless. Not even a threat of an attack was enough to surprise her.

    After some moments of inner conflict, the She-Darkrai answered to me. She said that if I were to make a Sinister remark to her, that I do it... properly. What is the meaning of this! Even in my prime, she continues to peak my rage with words that sound so much like mine. She dares insult me?!
    ...After a time, she proceeded to say that if I were to live up to my name, I would allow her to reside... with me... on my Newmoon island. Of course, I refused such an offer. I was NOT having an inferior being insult me, and get away with housing with me! No one was to dwell on my land but me.

    ...Then, with a quick and witty reply, she stated that if I did not accept her "invitation," she would blackmail me with how barkless I was to her, and how I had not yet annihilated her as I had promised myself.

    ...I can live with the thought of being defeated in a duel. It pushes my Fighting Spirit into growing stronger.
    I can live with the thought of sparing a child of slumber suffering. There are times when I, too, have bad days and need to resist such a temptation.
    I can even live with the thoughts of losing in a conversation with an opponent. I have my Brilliance, but even it has its pros and cons.

    But... THIS... is... UNACCEPTABLE.

    The She-Darkrai... pulled a foolish move. It burned in my Dark Heart, like a furious fire in a dry forest. That was one straw that had been broken, one straw that I had hoped would never be disturbed.

    ...I didn't care whether she was like I, or if she was female or not.
    In my furious state, I assaulted her.
    And in her prepared state, she assaulted back.

    We fought through the Twilight till Dawn approached... By that time, I had used up all my Aura in trying to deflect her powerful attacks, to cut her speed, and even lull her into sleep. But, time and again, she proved a worthy opponent as she dodged, struck, and leaped back. It was a recycled process. Why I did nothing to counter it baffles me... But, whenever one is in such a blind rage as I was, it is in those moments that you lose sight of what should be properly executed.
    I had grown weak, tired, and anxious to return to my home... Dawn is not the time of day I prefer to stay awake. The night is my only source of cover -- and if I were to be seen out of it, I would surely be overwhelmed by the forces of those who desire to control My Powers... The Trainers. I know how they plot... They try to catch me off-guard during the day, where I am all but defeatable. For some reason... the Light of the Sun decreases my strength...

    I threw in the towel, and proclaimed the She-Darkrai as winner. She was far too devious and strategic than I. I had only attacked out of rage. She predicted this, and was able to foresee whatever thoughtless move I exercised.

    To deprive you some wasted time, I will cut this short: As a result of my pitiful loss, I had no choice but to take her as my... new... guest. She bothers me not -- I was even able to get a full day's rest, and go through with my business the following night, and she stayed put at my home.
    Was it because she was homeless that she continually bothered me in my thoughts? Was it because she had nowhere else to run that she strayed into my path time and again? Could this have been the reason she tried to cripple my Pact with Giratina... so to attract my attention?
    I know not of her TRUE intentions... I have suspected her to be my source of downfall. She could be working for someone, someone whom has held a grudge against me... But no one comes to mind. More of the time, no one even knows I exist. I only deploy Bad Dreams to Them. They think it is a natural cycle, when in fact I am the one behind those events.

    To this day, she resides with me... on my island. She is no longer a threat, nor is she so much as an annoyance. There are times when I forget she even exists...

    I have spilled enough of my thoughts. I must stop... before this begins to cloud my true judgment...

    As the nights being to come and pass... the New Moon steadily approaches.
    And when such a Night befalls the land, prepare thyself... for a lesson thou wilst never forget...

    Slumber well...

    Another Discovery...

    ...
    ...

    I came across the She-Darkrai again as I was on my own leisure time before I visited the Shadow Master... and, as she had done when she first approached me on my Newmoon, she spoke no words. There was... complete silence between us. And in that time... I could feel an emotion rising within me. Even now, I know not of its origins, nor what it could ever be. It has been slowly eating away at me from the inside since I first met... her. I can feel my Dark Entity, once so dominant, cold, and heartless, becoming... vulnerable.
    Maybe she has Cursed me. But how? I continue to question myself of these feelings, and of the She-Darkrai's existance. Master Arceus created I, the Original Prince of Darkness, to reign supreme over the Land of Sinnoh, and to be in a timeless feud with my Mortal Enemy, Cresselia.

    Since the day the She-Darkrai has appeared, my personality... has been changing... However I speak, it is not the same as it once was. Am I... losing inspiration?
    ...No. The She-Darkrai is fooling with my mind, just as she fooled with the Shadow Master's when she nearly broke our Pact. Whenever I see her again... I will be sure to give her a taste of My Dark Heart.

    As I so previously mentioned, Shadow Master Giratina summoned me to his lair, where I was to meet in the utmost of secrecy. As he said it, "not even the Master knows of this."

    After I met with the She-Darkrai, I left her to do... whatever it is she does on such nights. Why I did not so boldy proclaim my Superiority, or so much as reclaim the Land of Sinnoh to My Biddings again... I know not. I will be sure not to be so foolish on the time's next meeting.

    I managed to venture through Turnback Cave with the greatest of ease... It has become nothing more than a children's game to me now.
    When I found the Shadow Master, he was awaiting for me patiently. The Shadows surrounding him sent chills through my spine... I quivered in such dread, that I began to enjoy feeding off of my own fear... This seems to occur every time I visit him... I must ask how he does it.

    Giratina lifted his massive body into the air, without the aid of his Black Wings, and he closed his eyes... He began to focus, and immediately the foggy room that I had entered began to swirl into a whirlpool of illusion. I stood in my spot, wondering what the Shadow Master could have been up to...

    After some time passed, Giratina's eyes snapped open again and the room, once a swirling vortex of colors, immediately blacked out into nothing. It was as if the Shadow Master and I were locked away in some gap between dimensions... where neither time nor space existed.
    Even before Giratina explained, I knew where he had taken me.

    The Netherplace. Where the Souls of the Departed forever roam freely, in a place my Master dares not venture.
    The Darkness began creeping up to me, forming Shadows out of Shadows... There was an intense atmosphere here. Even speaking of it now has me breaking in a cold sweat... It was remarkable. But, I had already been taken to the Netherplace with Giratina on previous occassions. Why bring me here again?

    My question was soon answered: Giratina had me follow him to near the end of the inky darkness... to where the dimensions of the Netherplace and the gaps between time and space sever. If one were to go into such a sever... they would be lost forever.
    It was here I began questioning the Shadow Master of his actions. Not even now did he explain what his original intentions were...

    It was then that he spoke to me. He said that it was by accident that he found this new realm, and that he had been making frequent stops since his finding of it... as it so closely resembled Our World, only without the Insignificants... and Trainers.
    Then, with the flap of his Black Wings, the severed connection between the Netherplace and time and space was interrupted... It didn't just create a new gap. This was on a completely different level... Not even I know how long this must have taken to become successful. The Shadow Master is more cunning than I have previously thought.

    Giratina led the way, with myself tailing close behind... We found ourselves in a wormhole, slowly guiding us through the strangest dimensions I have ever seen.
    Eventually, the wormhole ended, and I found myself floating in space... above a world similar in appearance as Mine.
    At first I thought it was a mistake. Had Giratina created a wormhole back to the World of Ours?
    Giratina, noticing my plight, reassured me of our position... That we were in fact floating above a different world.
    He continued to explain that this "new world" housed creatures that looked and acted strikingly similar to the Trainers on Our World... only these "new Trainers" have free wills. None of them are related to Trainers at all, in fact. They chase their own dreams... they do not capture Insignificants, nor do they show such goodwill as Trainers. The reason why Giratina coveted this "new world" was because the creatures here... were corrupted by Evil. An Evil that was almost exactly alike the Evil of the Trainers in ancient times. The same Ancient Evil that was formed to create Giratina... and the creatures here not only suffered from Evil, but were also inflicted with NightMares without the presence of a Darkrai.

    ...As my time runs short this eve, I returned back home to my beloved Newmoon... No longer did the She-Darkrai plague me so. She became the least of my worries for the time...
    Even as I was floating the vastness of the space around that new world... I could already feel the evil being emitted from it... Whatever creatures lurk there surely must be horrendous things.

    I love the thought of it...

    Don't think that because I have grown vulnerable has ceased my Operations...
    I will continue to inflict new Pain upon thee... as the Ancient Evil once did upon the Insignificants...
    Slumber well...

    It's odd how people feel a natural instinct to worship something. They say they don't believe in "God," yet they are always worshipping something they would consider "God" psychologically.
    Just like a person I saw once... said he/she didn't worship God, but because of that, would worship Arceus (since Arceus is considered a "God" Pokemon... O_o ).
    I guess it's only natural. Humans were created to serve under God... and we always find ourselves worshipping something, one way or another, if we're not directly serving Him.

    As for this, I've HEARD of this... If this has ties into the Three Days of Darkness scenario (Revelation stuff), then I suppose I would believe it.
