When it touched the darkness, the light disappeared, and the Medium assures them that β€œit can be overcome.” When Charles Wallace asks what is happening, Mrs. Whatsit tells them that it was a star doing battle with the Dark Thing. The star won, but lost its life in the process. Mrs. Whatsit then informs them that she herself had once been a star and had done battle with the Dark Thing, which is why she has fallen into her current form.
