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…

Shadow. Shadow has pitch black skin and hair. She has glowing white eyes, and a dark aura that flows around her like water. Her presence annoys 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.
--------------------------------------------------
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….

--------------------------------------------------
She stared into the mirror, taking a deep breath. She wasn't even sure why she had it. Not like she appeared in the reflection. She inhaled sharply as a familiar pair of red eyes manifested in the mirror, before disappearing the moment she blinked. She cursed, waving it off with a growl. Albus was late….they were never late. Agh- whatever. It doesn't matter. That useless being would come eventually-
As if her very thoughts had summoned them, Albus burst into the room, carefully holding a small purple pillow. They stumbled over, eyes wide with panic. No doubt aware they were late.
“My deepest apologies, Your Majesty. I have your crown, and everyone is rallied outside of the palace, as you requested!”
“Good. It is so horrible my sister passed away due to that little traitor… I truly wish it was me in her place…”
She was able to easily fake her sadness, as Albus stuttered out a response
“D-Don’t say that! I’m sure she's glad you’re a-alive! You will do great in her place!”
She stayed silent, acting like she couldn’t continue. When really, her eyes were locked on something out of the corner of her eye… was that table……. Rattling? How? Nothing near it could be moving it… She brushed it off and grabbed the crown from Albus, and waved them out of the room. Once they had left, she got ready for her announcement, and walked out onto the balcony. Her eyes scanned across the sea of people, who all seemed to combine into a black mass due to the sheer amount. Her vision flashed briefly, everything was a gray-ish tint…blood covered the ground in puddles, bodies covered the area, screams rang out…until her vision snapped to normal…must be a side effect. She cleared her throat, and began her speech.
“My people! I am sure you must have heard by now that the queen was killed. I…was there when it happened. I could not prevent her death, but I know who did it. Her own daughter poisoned her! I was unable to grab them, before they escaped through a portal…I have not seen them since, so it's only fair to suspect they left the realm entirely… as the only remaining royal still here, I suppose it falls to me to take on the responsibility of being queen. So, as my first command as queen, I demand that you all keep an eye out for the traitor so they may be sufficiently punished. That.. is all for now. I will try my very best to keep this realm safe, and stable.”
Cheers rang out from the crowd. Listening to the praise…the support…it made her regret what she did even less.
She stepped back into the palace, waving off Albus to deal with those wanting questions. She walked to her quarters and basically face planted onto her bed. She couldn’t help but wonder where Ariadne ended up…who knows, maybe she ended up with humans…would serve her right.
“Cowards don’t deserve the position of queen…”
She froze…the voice sounded like a breeze, it came and left so quickly…but it was enough for her to recognise the voice.
“Oh dear, it seems you are mistaken sister…”
She paused, staring off into the distance, whispering one single thing
“It's rude to speak of yourself in such a way…”
-Shadow(FINALLY WOO)
So um, funng story. I was dead for about 16 hours then survivor made me a new body....lol. so since im alive, i guess im still the heir to the throne??? Btw what i meant by wwt being the heir to the throne, i meant i was giving my status to wwt. But sadly as soon as i got in the new body, the queens officials captured me and sentenced me to The pit of lost souls. Its not a nice vacation place, I'll just say that. But yeah, dont try to save me, the only way in to the shadow realm is to open a portal, and im afraid only shadows(full shadows) have that ability. Plus i may or may not be going through... somthing....
*i shake my head and my eyes turn red*
Must kill, must destroy.... must feast.....
*i shake my head again and my eyes go back to normal and my features start to look even more monster like*
I, i have to stay. I dont want to hurt anyone...
*i fade away back to the pit*

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.
