'Why is this happening to us?' That is the number one question asked by our listeners. Well, I've got a story for everyone today that might shed some light on everything. Let me tell you about the legend of Twilight..." Listen up kiddies, because long ago there were three kingdoms. The more famous two were Midnight and Sunlight. Simple enough with the whole yin and yang thing. Castle Brightlight was blessed with the Sunlight magic and Castle Darklight was blessed with Midnight magic.

Stryder was the one to steal their future away. He took everything from her in the breath of a moment. He'd stolen her true purpose for living.
He's almost within my grasp, baby. I'll make him pay for what he did.

"I love you," she whispers softly before walking down to the car and driving away.
