Earth. This chapter takes place in a packed city, full of humans. Loud beeps and complaints are a near constant.

—--------------------------------------------

Shadow glanced back at Astro, eyes narrowing. She was still unsure of this “Astro” guy. He was…rather suspicious. They most likely felt the same way about Shadow, but she didn’t really care. She leaned against the wall again, eyes locked on Astro. Dark One was standing beside her, sharpening a knife for no reason. Probably trying to look productive or something.

“So, who even are you, kid?”

Shadow raised an eyebrow, shrugging.

“I already told you my name. Also, I’m not a kid.”

She stated clearly, sighing. Did this guy have memory loss or something?

“No, idiot, I meant like. WHO are you? I know your name, but like. Where’d you come from? Are you just some random homeless kid or are you actually important to anything? Also, you don't look a day over 8.”

She tilted her head a bit, blinking. Why does this dude care..? She crossed her arms and stared into his soul(? Does this thing even have a soul?)

“Well, first of all, why do you wanna know, second, who's asking?”

“Eh, you obviously aren't from around here, and are strangely good at fighting for being 8. As for who I am, it's..complicated. A failed lab experiment, I guess you could say. Could also be a failed savior. Meh, by leaving my home realm I failed a lot of people. Hard to say what I even am. Heck, I don't even know! Heh, I still remember the dude who told me everyone was relying on me. His name was Ryoko i think. He barely managed to escape when I tried to kill him out of rage.”

Her eyes narrowed further, before sighing and rolling them. She waved the bit about being 8 off like it didn't bother her, though it clearly did.

“Whatever. It's honestly stupid. As you said, I’m not from here. I'm from the shadow realm. My mother, Queen Eclipse, was the queen. My jealous aunt poisoned her, managed to blame ME, and got me banished. So now I assume she's queen. So, I've just been chilling here. I honestly don't care enough to go back, even if I could technically become queen.”

Shadow explained, flipping off Dark One as he snickered at certain parts. Astro just blinked, seemingly unfazed, shrugging.

“Sounds complicated.”

Was his only remark. They both had a brief staredown, before dark one interrupted and suggested they start moving. Humans were starting to gather. Shadow sighed as she stood, eyes flicking briefly to Astro as he did the same. He shrank out of the human's sight, and walked over to shadow.

“Well? Let's go, idiot. I heard there's a town of rejects like us somewhere around here. Dodódexia(with a normal o. Because of the thingy.), I think it was.”

“Alright Space Barf, which direction?”

Astro briefly double checked, before heading north. Shadow and Dark One followed shortly after, needing a break from humans. I mean, I don't blame them. Astro was walking at a distance from Shadow and Dark One, clearly trying to separate himself. Shadow glared at him, but simply shrugged. She did speak up about something else, though.

“So, Galaxy Feces, how far IS this town, exactly?”

“Very. like, a day away.”

“....why are we WALKING then? I know at LEAST 4 other ways to get there quicker.”

“The humans have cameras around here. Until we get out of sight of them, we can't.”

“And? I used magic during our fight to make us look normal.”

“Yeah, but it'd look strange if three people randomly disappeared.”

“...I SUPPOSE that's fair…”

Dark One was very annoyed by this as well, as he couldn't dip from existence and chill in Shadow's mind. Shadow growled as she continued following Astro, a stress ball appearing in her hand that she could strangle instead of Astro and Dark One, as she blinked in confusion. She could've sworn everything had gone gray for a minute….whatever. Wasn't important. What WAS important was getting to this dang town.

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

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…”

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)

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.

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?"
