It was a beautiful place, maybe too beautiful, where Happiness was playing in this green field with her friends and sisters. Then, it happened that Darkness felt jealousy, envy, hatred for the natural joy of Happiness and tricked her into the forest saying that she had a surprise for her and her friends, asked her not to worry and guided her into the forest. It was getting late and Darkness took Happiness to a place full of wild beasts.

Then, Darkness took advantage of the innocence and naivety of Happiness and left her to her own luck. Happiness , feeling lost and confused walked more and more into the forest, climbed what seemed like a small mountain but that wasn't and kept on climbing until she felt followed by unknown beings. Then, filled with fear and before being devoured by the wild beasts, she threw herself from the top of the mountain and died. Time passed and they were looking for Happiness, but could not found her because she fell in a place full of stones and very inaccessible.

  Their relatives, sisters, friends, and everybody who knew her were suffering because they could not found her. While Darkness felt fulfilled and satisfied and after some days she went back to the place to make sure that she had succeeded on her misdeed, but people had already identified that she possibly had deceived and taken Happiness and they looked for Darkness, and when they found her they surrounded and scolded her.

When Darkness felt in the open, since the truth is always known -although too late  sometimes, she was full of fear because she could not denied her actions and the sisters and friends of Happiness told her, " You probably deceived Happiness because she was always innocent, she did not believe that evil existed and that is why she probably followed you. What did you do to her? Where is she?"
Darkness, feeling accused and with skin-deep  guilt, decided to run and in a moment of distraction, she run away making evident that she was responsible of something too sinister.

  She run very fast, it seemed that the wind was given her wings and she went into the forest in a place where she could not be found. At night time, a searching team of strong and courageous people was formed to go into the forest. When Darkness felt their presence, she run and kept running and this made her to follow somewhat the same route of Happiness and by fate of destiny, she climbed the mountain but a light appeared in front of her, a ghostly light, a light changing colors that were becoming more intense. And Darkness saw the light approaching her and her guilt was such that she screamed...

" Don't come closer, whoever you are, I know what I did and I am afraid."  And the light took form and it was Happiness and that light said, " Don't go on this road because if you do, you will fall and will die as I did. Please, go back where you came from. You, poor one, you probably got lost, it seemed that the other day we got lost, I don't know what happened but something took me to that road where I found my final destiny. But it will not happen to you, you poor one, you must be frightened, I will protect you, come, lie down and have some rest. I am now a spirit and I now understand many things, I promised myself to stay in this place to protect the people so they will not have my same fate and in this way, my death will not be in vain. Come and have some rest here."

  And Darkness did that and her heart of iron, stone, full of anger, hatred, envy felt moved since never before anybody had taken care of her. And now Happiness was in front of her, the same Happiness that she had taken to die; Happiness seemed to be alive somewhat, but she was dead. And she had returned to take care of the life of her own assassin and besides she had promised herself to take care of that place. What a teaching, what a sensibility even from death, Happiness with her innocence and purity had won over Darkness.!

Besides, Darkness, who was already leaning on the ground, felt a warm caress over 
 her head, since the spirit of Happiness was emanating waves of love and tenderness while was saying to Darkness, " Don't be afraid, I will protect you, no matter what happens, I will protect you." And Darkness was calming herself and finally felt asleep but her hard heart of stone, was already cracking, bleeding, feeling pain and remorse.

  Darkness had killed the sweetest hand, the most tender, purest, most innocent and with premeditation and evilness had taken Happiness to her misfortune. But Happiness had turned the misfortune into a promise of love, she had  allowed her spirit to be free as the aroma of the roses and had returned from the top of the mountain and was illuminating and taken care of the sleep of Darkness. Wasn't this a moving action?

Darkness had already a new transformed heart and her mind started to be aware and  she was thinking, " What have I done? How much suffering I caused. My evil is terrible and I regret it." And for the first time in her dreams, she cried, begged and whined and said, "May the Creator give this guilty one, the opportunity to mend her ways. Happiness is innocent and I am very wicked. Happiness has moved me with her words and after what I did to her, after inflicting her so much pain, she did not reproach me, on the contrary, she spoke to me with kindness, tenderness, understanding. She helped me in the most difficult moment, in the moment that I was ready to die, she rescued and took care of me. Lord Creator, punish me for my infamy, there is no other with more guilt in the universe but me.

  Return Happiness to life, Lord Creator, I am willing to give my life for her. She truly loves, and besides, she is loved, I never loved anybody and nobody ever loved me. I deserve the pain and Happiness and her family don't deserve to suffer. Take me, oh Lord Creator to the place that I deserve, I beg you to return the life of Happiness! And Darkness cried and begged until she went into a very deep sleep and she saw herself in hell and understood that evil begets evil since envy and anger will never bring peace...

And she heard a voice telling her, " What have you done, Darkness? What have you  done, Darkness? You have been the criminal hand, you  hurt the glory of life. What have you done Darkness?" Suddenly she felt that she was slowly awakening and a tender voice said, " Friend, my dear friend, awake, they found us." And then, Darkness opened her eyes and she saw that she was surrounded by courageous and strong men with lighted lamps and she felt trapped, she had run away and she had been found but before she could say a word, she was helped to raise from the ground and was embraced by some arms and she was told,
 " Don't be afraid, they are my friends, my family who found us , we got lost in the forest and they found us."

  Happiness was in front of her, as alive as the bud of the flower opening to the sunlight. Yes, she was alive, then Darkness understood that she had been heard but nevertheless, she did not die, that the Supreme Creator had given her the opportunity. A new life had started for Happiness and Darkness and the next day, Happiness was playing with her friends and sisters and there was one of her friends who was laughing a lot. But that friend was not called Darkness anymore her name now was Brightness.
