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.

------------------------------------------------------

A cloak swept around her ankles as she walked out of the castle, waving off the guards with one hand, and rubbing her temples with another. She groaned as a scream shot through her mind, silently cursing, before shaking it off and walking down the steps. She stroad pridefully into the village, staring off into the dark expanse that is the shadow realm. Pain shot through her ankles as she tripped, snarling and whipping around to see what caused her fall. A small child sat behind her, eyes wide, holding a little soccer ball. She growled, standing up, before looking down apon the child as it cowered.

"What is the meaning of this, you pathetic worm?"

She demanded, face twisted into a snarl. After recieving no answer, she raised a hand, swiftly brought it to the opposite shoulder, and back handed the childs face. A bruise immediately formed where her hand made contact, and the child burst into tears, now desperately trying to crawl away. A small smirk formed across her face as she kicked dust at the weakling. Although her line of sight quickly found something more of interest a moment later. She was drawn to a small shop, sitting off to the side, just out of the way. She, now ignoring the child, walked over to it, dusting her cloak off on the way. She was interested by the items it sold, tilting her head with curiousity. She looked to the shopkeeper, clearing her throat before speaking.

"So, you sell poisons, yes?"

Was all she asked, looking at the assortment of bottles on the table. She lifted a hand, studying her nails as she awaited a response.

"Yes, I do. What sort of poison you looking for, your majesty?"

The shopkeep asked, swiftly bowing. She paused, taking a moment to study the man before responding. They had dark green skin, their hair matching the coloring. Their eyes shone white, with a slight hint of green. She brushed this off, as it wasnt that uncommon. Split personalities tended to do whatever they wanted. Couldnt be helped.

"Im looking for something that kills after a few seconds. A minute max, instantanous minimum. I will not deal with the rubbish taking a few days."

She said simply, bringing her demands to the table clearly and quickly. The split thought for a moment, before backing up and looking at a few bottles. Soon after, he plucked a small container from the row. He brought it towards Blazefire, gently placing it infront of her.

"I present to you, your majesty, Rivals End. It is a very potent poison made out of Moon Flowers and and other various deadly herbs. It will kill your target within 10 seconds if you use 2 drops. 4 drops makes the death instantanous."

He explained, nodding occasionally. She studied the small bottle, a bit taken aback from the size, before averting her eyes back to the man.

"I'll take it. How much."

She stated simply, digging out a few gold coins

"2 gold coins. Discount for royals, your majesty."

He replied, taking the needed coins with a satisfied nod. Blazefire grinned, before walking away, not bothering to thank the man. After all, he should be grateful he even got to see her. She glanced around, slipping the bottle into her pocket, before grabbing the arm of a messenger, pulling him to a stop

"You, i want you to tell the queen that her sister has invited her to tea. You are to tell her that, and that only. Understand?"

She ordered. Eventually, she recieved a startled nod as an answer, and she released the messenger. A smile crossed her face as she muttered under her breath: "lets have some tea, shall we?"
