Character POV and Description:
Queen Eclipse. Queen Eclipse has pitch black skin, with hair of a slightly lighter color. Her eyes shine a blinding white near constantly while open. A dark aura flows around her like a blanket. Anyone near her gets a sense of security.
Then Ariande. Ariande is like a mini version of Eclipse. Her aura brings the feeling of pity and sadness for some unknown reason.
Where the Chapter takes Place
The shadow realm. The shadow realm is sort of like a different planet, yet also not. It is only accessible by the portals Living Shadows can open. It can be described as a version of earth, but with a permanent cloak of darkness spread across it like snow.
--------------------------------------------------
Clearing her throat, she knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing her sister, Blazefire. Smiling warmly, she thanked her for inviting her, and she stepped inside. They both headed over to the living room, which was beautifully furnished. A small Melo statue was sitting on the table.
"Go ahead, take a seat sister, I'll go get some tea."
Eclipse nodded, watching her walk out. She paused, looking over at the door, sighing
"Ariande. I told you to come in. You'll be fine."
A small child, looking around 5 years old, walked into the house. Ariande carefully stepped over to Eclipse, sitting beside her, glancing around warily. Eclipse always felt horrible for her daughter, with how her father treated both her and herself. Luckily, to her knowledge, he left the shadow realm after a huge argument. She gave Ariande a small pat on the shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. Her ear flicked as she heard footsteps. She turned and looked at Blazefire, who was holding a tea kettle and some cups. She set them in front of Eclipse, Ariande, and herself as she sat.
"So, Queen Eclipse, may I speak with you about something over a cup of tea?"
Eclipse frowned as Blazefire spoke, wondering what she wanted to speak about.
"Sure, I don't see why not."
She said, tilting her head a little bit.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about what was going on. I've heard that some of your subjects were starting to rebel. Some cults worshiping Trius have formed again. I'm worried about what might occur."
Blazefire informed her, sipping her tea after finishing. Eclipse shook her head gently, taking a sip of tea. She was about to reply, when she noticed Blazefire eyeing her cup. She frowned, before replying.
"I see. Where exactly did you hear this? I would like to speak with them to further be informed. T……this d-does seem l….like a pr..problem……"
Eclipse blinked rapidly, staring at blazefire with a concerned expression. She could feel her body shutting down.
"B-blazefire….si…sister….wha….what was….in th…that….t…..tea…."
She said, just before falling over, slamming into the table. Ariande stared, mouth slightly agape in shock. Eclipse started turning a light gray, a sure sign that she was dead. Blazefire smiled politely, before standing. She grabbed Eclipse's body and dragged it off, leaving Ariande frozen. Ariande, slowly coming to her senses, made a small whimpering noise, before running towards the door. Just about to grab the handle, she suddenly stopped. A black aura surrounded her like coffin, forcing her to freeze.
"Well….well…..well….."
The voice of her aunt rang around her like a bell. A shiver ran down her spine as a hand fell on her shoulder, a tear slipping down her face. Blazefire stepped into view, frowning.
"You trying to escape? Huh? You know this is your fault, right?"
Ariande stared, tears still streaming down her face as she strained to grab the door knob. Her mind going 1,000 miles a minute, panic filled her mind.
"This is entirely your fault. You poisoned her tea. Why? Because you're jealous. This is classified as treason. And you know what the punishment for treason is? Exile. Ariande, I, as the new Queen, sentence you to Exile to an unknown dimension."
Blazefire spoke, a grin slowly spreading like an infection across her face. Blazefire, still keeping up the freeze spell, grabbed her hands and placed them behind her back, tying them together. A gag materialized in her hand swiftly as she gagged Ariande. She grabbed Ariande's hair and opened the door, dragging her out. A dark portal appeared outside the house as Blazefire waved a hand.
"Annd thats the show folks…"
She murmured and she tossed Ariande into the portal, a grin planted on her face…

Where the Chapter takes Place
Earth. This chapter takes place in a lush forest on earth, with tall, green trees, massive bushes, and various animals lurking.
--------------------------------------------------
Three….years….later….
“WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS-”
Shadow screamed as she bolted down an alley
“I dunno, why DID you listen to me?”
“SHUT UP YOU LITTLE-”
She heard exclaiming behind her. Crap, someone saw her. She heard something about…slenderman? Huh? Whatever. She disappeared and reappeared on top of a roof, panting as she ran, hopping from rooftop to rooftop.
“...aw….you lost them…”
“SHUT UP FOR ONCE! WHY DID YOU EVEN GET ME TO THROW THAT ROCK AT THEM?!”
“Because it was funny? Who do you think I am, you? I’m not BORING!”
“AND I AM?!”
“Yes.”
“AGH- YOU ARE FRUSTRATING”
“I know! That's the point!
Dark One exclaimed cheerfully. Shadow just blocked Dark One out at that point. She collapsed against a wall, sliding down it to catch her breath…she HATED running.
“Hey chucklenuts-”
“Shut up.”
“...Moron lo-”
“...I SAID SHUT UP! CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE FOR ONE SECOND?!”
“LOOK AROUND IDIOT.”
“WHAT!?”
Shadow paused and looked around, eyes narrowing at a purple color through the leaves. She sighed and snapped, a knife appearing in her hand as she approached it. Dark One soon appeared next to her, holding a knife as well. She jerked back as the figure…grew? She cursed and stared up at it as it walked out, expression changing from terrified to puzzled. She was looking at…a giant galaxy colored peacock…wearing a mask…wha- she didn’t have time to speak before she was punted curvy- I mean- straight into a wall. She grunted as she felt a bone or two break, cursing again as she hovered her hands over the broken bones, doing a bit of silly magic to at least numb the pain they were causing her.. Her attention then turned to the figure, who was currently trying to deal with Dark One…who….was….trying to crawl into its mouth…I mean, it was 12 ft tall, and Dark One WAS very short…but still. She waved a hand and Dark One was yeeted away, and charged at it. Knives flew out of nowhere and impaled the creature, causing it to shriek in pain. She took the opportunity to climb onto its back, and a little something appeared in her hands. A little something called an AK-47. Bullets were fired towards the head, which caused the being to shrink. A lot. Down to like. And inch. Shadow was basically stomping on it. She managed to grab the little menace and held onto a leg. Until it started growing again. She yelped and yeeted it at a wall, a flamethrower replacing the AK-47.
“WHAT EVEN IS THIS THING?!”
The creature seemed to pause, stare at shadow, and cross its arms, about her size.
“Lay'uo'hue cre'in'uo'dob, li'we'es ar'hue'b're we'uo we'o'el'cre o'd'uo'hue'we es'uo'em're'uo'in're ar'li'je'lec'we li'in'ph'ar'uo'in'we uo'ph lay'uo'hue.”
Shadow narrowed her eyes at the creature.
“WHAT. THE-”
“Ah-ah-ah! Tier three swears mean you give me 30 dollars, remember?”
“..fine.”
The creature was now staring in confusion, which shadow was mimicking. They were both VERY confused. Until Shadow started torching it. It didn't like that.
Long story short, they both continued fighting each other until they were both pretty hurt. Until the creature spoke again.
“You speak English, yes? Why are you so intent on killing me, stranger?”
“I dunno space barf, maybe because YOU ATTACKED ME?”
“...Fair. Why don't we stop killing each other, and team up?”
“Nah, I don't team up with things that look like they came out of a galaxy's butthole.”
“And I don't normally team up with the humanoid forms of blackholes but here we are.”
“....Fine. whatever. But I have a goal and if you drag me down, space barf. You won't live another day.”
“Whatever, void turd.”
After the two finished insulting each other, they properly introduced themselves.
“I’m Astro, by the way.”
“What a weird name. I’m Ari- …Shadow. My name is Shadow.”

Shadows of Death
Chapter 5 - [Revenge is Quite Sweet...]
(PART 2/2)
A few days went by. Blazefire had messed up everything Eclipse had strived for. The Shadow Realm was filled with poverty, people were starting to starve, and of course, Blazefire was benefiting from it. Nobody had seen the ruler in ages, except for Albus. But from how they acted, they didn't think they wanted to see the ruler…
“ALBUS, GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!”
By the sounds of scrambling outside her door, Blazefire assumed they were coming. She looked down at her hand, staring at the dark red color that had overtaken her pitch blackness. The door swung open, and Albus skittered in, closing the door behind her
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
“Tell me, is anything different about my appearance today? Beside the..more red coloring. I am already aware of that.”
“W-Well..uhm..Y-Your eyes are….gaining a reddish tint…”
“Ah. I see. That is..troubling, but I suppose it doesn't matter.”
She stared quietly. Everything but herself was a gray tint. There was no color to anything. Her normally colorful chambers were…so gray…she looked back down at her hands, the only color she could see…and smiled. Her vision flickered again, and her hands were slowly dissolving in blood.
“You know, I’ve always wanted to see the life fade out of someone's eyes…”
Her head slowly turned over to Albus
“........Y-Your..y-your m-majesty…..?”
The screams echoed throughout the castle, before slowly fading into a low gurgle. Oh, how it felt to be in control of whenever someone lives or dies….
-Shadow (they look short when seperated but the good ol dex disliked it put together)
Dark One unironically saying "bro" has me DEAD and I don't know why.
Honestly kinda want more of Blazefire. Wanna know what's going on her head from the way she killed her sister and then calmy dragged her body away. There's gotta be some tragic story or something.

Character POV and Description:
Shadow/Ariande. Ariande has pitch black skin and hair. She has glowing white eyes, and a dark aura that flows around her like water. Her presence has no effect on others.
Where the Chapter takes Place
Earth. This chapter takes place in a lush forest on earth, with tall, green trees, massive bushes, and various animals lurking.
--------------------------------------------------
A dark portal formed in the clearing of a forest. A few birds, startled, flew away. A deer paused, staring at it. A dark figure collapsed out of the portal, gagged and tied up. The deer, afraid, darted away. Ariande groaned, tears still fresh in her eyes. She managed to get her feet under herself, and carefully stood up. Her wrists were raw from the rope, which was digging into her skin. She choked out a sob, before shaking her head. She quickly turned, and saw the portal beginning to close. Eyes widening, she ran towards it, but didnt reach it in time. The portal closed with a loud pop, just as Ariande reached it…
She groaned, before turning her attention to freeing herself from the ropes and gag. She thought of something, and began twisting her wrists aggressively. She winced as the rope began to cut into her skin, eventually drawing blood. The rope began sizzling as her acidic blood started melting it, eventually falling off. She brought her hands infront of her, staring at them for a moment, before tearing the gag off.
Glancing around for the first time since arriving, her eyes widened even further. Panic started filling her mind as she backed up.
"Wha…"
She mumbled, before freezing. A low growl started behind her, a few leaves crunching. She slowly turned around, staring at a wolf. Of course she had never seen one before, so she blinked in confusion. The wolf snapped at her, snarling. Yelping, she slowly started to back up. A twig snapped under her as she stepped on it, causing the wolf to lunge at her. Shrieking, she turned and ran. The wolf quickly began gaining on her as she ran for the small nook of a tree. Just barely managing to slide under, the wolf slammed into the side of it.
As she started to slow her breathing down, she glanced back out. The wolf was pacing outside of it, waiting for her to exit. She reached a hand out to it, snickering. The wolf growled, suddenly shoving its head into the hole, nipping her hand. She yanked it back, making a small hissing noise, clutching it. She backed up a bit, and sat, wrapping her arms around her legs to wait for it to leave. She silently thought about everything that had happened, now that she had a moment to do so.
Tears started forming in her eyes as she thought about the previous events. She silently vowed revenger, clenching her hand into a fist.
"You…are very pathetic."
She paused, looking around for whoever spoke. She jumped as she spotted the wolf again, having forgot about it.
"Im not in my physical form right now, stupid. Im talking in your mind."
Ariande blinked, confused.
"Who are you…?"
"Im God,"
The voice said sarcastically
"No, Im your split personality, who else would I be?"
Ariande simply shrugged at this information. A dark cloud started forming next to her. She blinked, carefully moving to the side. The cloud was swept away, and a split personality formed. They were a dark red, eyes white with a small red tint. They apparently were bald, which Ariande laughed at for the next 2 minutes. They sat there, glaring at her as she did so.
"You done? Good. So you want revenge, eh? I do too. What do you say about us killing your aunt together, eh?"

I love traumatizing 5 year olds :> (IN STORIES, DONT PUT ME ON A FBI WATCH LIST)
I love writing stuff about shadow
Its very fun
-shadow
nO don’t threaten with the gators! Gators are far too powerful to be on this earth…
- President Loki
I read it, Shadow, dear :). I’m so proud to see how much you’ve improved over time, both in grammar and plot.
I think that the myths were posted in (help, I can’t remember names anymore- I haven’t actually PLAYED Ark in almost a year) the sea sausage dolphin porpoise thing? Or the glow lizard thingy? Or glowbug? I don’t know at this point. I’m too old for this.
- President Loki
Alright so like. I might cancel Bog Threat. Its kinda trashy and not that good
BUT-I-WILL-BE-STARTING-2-NEW-STORIES!
The Future Hurts. A Lot. (Uhhhh idk where yet)
The Shadow of Death (This very dye!)
Lemme explain them.
"The Future Hurts. A Lot" is a futuristic story. The survivers have wiped out most of all life. They found a way to clone food and water, and keep smaller dinosaurs, like lystros, and robotic dinosaurs as pets. But all other dinosaurs are destroyed (Or so they think). Everything is replaced by tek. Dig 4 feet and you get hit with tek. EVERYTHING is tek. Theres no trees, and barely any plant life. But, against the odds, in a small corner of the world, life is thriving. A lush jungle where dinosaurs roam peacefully. But everything goes wrong when the jungle is spotted.
And
"The Shadow of Death" is a story about my custom species, aka the Living Shadows. It takes place right after the Shadows move to the Shadow Realm after leaving Nova. The strange species move everything they need in, but somethings amiss. Queen Eclipse was getting older, and her daughter was still young. Shadows are slowly disappearing, and nobody knows why.....until they were spotted.
I will also start writing myths again, as Tina liked my myths and i believe she would be happy if i started doing so again.
*inhales*
HAHAHAGAHAHAHAHGAAHAHAGAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH- ah frick laughing gas again.
-Shadow(hehe still having mental health issues :/ )
Alarm blares
Then turns silent
The weather turns silent.. and the wind
But then
Boom.
A circle like core that have energy blasted out if it fills the sky as one rams into tan dyes dome cracking it
All the others ram into the dome as a portal opens that shows the void
It keeps opening and sucking things in, it eventually picks up tan dye and throws it into the endless void never to be seen again
However, The dome has not fully been breached, so no dark energy can be put into the dome..
Another ball of energy storms the other dyes (white and silver)
They crack the dome and send thousands of corrupted creatures in.. and turn the ground black and on fire.
There are only a phew portals to escape the void, they can only hold 1 thing and after you go in, there's no turning back,
Save yourself and the rune
Or save tan dye and try to find another way out..
"What is to create.. is to destroy.."

You might just have to divide the chapters and label them (1/2), (2/2), or whatever. I've had to do it before. Dye tip character limit is smaller than creature tip limit.
