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.
