Without warning, I was thrown back into the memory, locked in battle with the Queen of Darkness. My current memories were still intact, but I was no longer in control. I knew what was coming, but I also knew that outside of this dark memory, Xieus would still be alive, and I would not let anything ever happen to her again.
Rather than let this vision hurt me, I watched and observed the creature I was fighting. While I wasn't in control of my body, I could still try to learn something. Truth had finally shown his true colors, and I had to find a way to deal with him. The bitter truth of things was that no matter how strong I was, my power was gifted from him.
