Queen of Shadows

Oh yes. That. The one that stole AJ from Thought. Mmm, how tragic. But yes, I will remove it. She did as promised. Honestly, she had forgotten about the time curse that surrounded this place.

Xino flew forwards, into the heart of the castle itself.

He landed on the ground in front of Astral. "Hello. Nice place you've got here."

Smallcaps, nice.

Dapper continued walking, eventually reaching the castle. He stood on a ridge overlooking the fortress, 

So this is where that lady went. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Yes," she said from her throne. "I do believe you wished this place into existence, didn't you? It's nice."

The room was completely bare except for a single silver table with two simply ornamented chairs and her throne.

Dapper took out a few notecards with some dense writing stribbled on to them. They were titled Naratorial Plane Worldbuilding.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xino shook his head internally, amused. Dapper really didn't need all of that nonsense, did he? They weren't even on a Narratorial plane, whatever that was.

"Yes," she said from her throne. "I do believe you wished this place into existence, didn't you? It's nice."

He nodded thoughtfully. "An interesting debate, that. It was more of a joint effort, I believe, although I suppose I would get final say."

He took one of the seats at the table, looking around. "It is nice, though. Fantastic likes his castles in top condition." 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Astral descended the dais as dramatically as she dared, taking the other seat at the table. With a snap of her fingers, two goblets appeared before them. She took a drink of her own, then leaned back. "Why did you do it?" she asked conversationally.

[Lunamor she/her]

The seat Astral reclined in seemed to be corrupted by her presence. It turned black, small pieces chipping off, almost as if it was rotting. Xino peered into the goblet. The thick liquid inside was a mix of silver and black.

[old man moomba he/him]

A foot slammed into Dapper's back and knocked him off the cliff. As Dapper fell, he saw a man standing above him. The man's  features were vaugly reminiscent of his own, but the man was far larger and brawnier than Dapper. He had a thin, scholarly frame and had never exercised. 

The man grabbed his hand,

"Remember, me," the man said "what doesn't kill will probably come back and kill you later. Goodbye, former Dapper." 

The man, know known as Dapper, let go of his counterpart's hand. As the former Dr. Dapper fell, the new Dapper grabbed his hat and put it on, chuckling.

The new Dapper turned towards the castle. He chuckled, silver flashing in his eyes.

Xino took a sip. It tasted like a combination of black licorice and chocolate. Not alcoholic, I see. Good. 

He shrugged. "It just seemed natural, I guess. He was broken, both by what you did and what I did."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Astral shook her head. "Keep Fallen out of this. I want no part of it."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xino looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"It is no longer a part of me," Astral said, tapping the side of her goblet. "I took this castle to prove that I have overcome myself. Here I died and here I was reborn."

Dapper chuckled faded to a grin as he walked purposefully towards the castle. As he walked, purple mist swirled around him, taking the form of various characters, some from media, some original.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xino frowned. "What part of what I said brought up Fallen?"

This is my chance! Also, this is turning into the party castle.

One of those characters solidified into Ghanderflaffle who started walking towards the castle as well.

Of course I’m down for this.

Narrator Shadow appeared out of the Shadow realm clutching her chest. She looked like she’d been through hell and back. (Which she had several times) The black portal closed, with monsters trying to reach it in time. Narrator Shadow collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily.  A small voice whimpered. “I-I’m sorry about Marsh…But we are under attack…I have no clue what they are, or who sent them, but they chased me out of the Shadow Realm. Of all the people and places, it had to be right here and now.

Astral opened her mouth to reply to Xino, then closed it, watching as Shadow stumbled into the room. 

She laughed. "And what in the world makes you think I would help you after all you've done?"

[BringerofShadows she/her]

Shadow grumbled. “The fate of the world depends on it. Those monsters will consume everything in there path, including you.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Mmmmm," Astral mused. "The fate of the world..." She pursed her lips, then took a drink. "What do I care about the fate of this place? Narrators exist outside of reality. And... if this place was destroyed, why, I could rebuild!"

[BringerofShadows she/her]

“Fine. Watch the World burn. Then you’ll have a fun little world without excitement, adventure, fun, or suspense.” There was a ragged cough followed by the splat of black blood on the floor.
