In the past, Rosalind always thought that darkness can only bring nothing but devastation. It was the opposite of light, the opposite of good. Growing up, she learned that darkness was something that belonged to the dark lord. It was evil, sinister.
So, she did her best to hide it, tucked it away inside her until she died. She would never use something that belong to the dark lord.
When she returned, she thought she could use the darkness to her advantage. She could control it and use it against her enemies. However, she never found anything in the books that would teach her anything about the darkness— reasonable.
It was not mentioned anywhere, not even in the forbidden books from the past.
So when Lucas told her that he knew the previous one who held the darkness's blessing, she almost could not believe him.
