I sigh as I stare off into the distance. I couldn't sleep once again. I was too damn worried about the party. Problem is, I can't fucking dance. Never had a return for trying. " What's the matter? Shouldn't you be asleep?" I heard the Overlord speak. Soon she shadowy dragon form was sitting next to me. " I guess." I shrug. " What's bothering you?" He asked. I shook my head, saying it's nothing. " I know something is bothering you." He looked at me. I sighed. " It's nothing."

" (Y/n)." " Fine!" I whisper shout, " There's this party me and the others were invited to. It's formal, fancy, and I can't fucking dance." I rub the back of my neck. I noticed in the corner of my eye, the Overlord's dragon forming morphing into something else. I looked over confused and saw the shadowy figure of a man instead of the dragon I was used to. " If you're so bad at dancing," He held out his hand, " Perhaps I can teach you."

I stare at him, then his hand, then back at his face. " Since when did you have a human form?" I asked, placing my hand in his. " Since forever. This is the form your grandmother and great-grandmother saw all the time. I haven't been in since Yin's death..." He looked at his shadowy arm. I smiled at him, " Hey, maybe one day you can finally pass away and see her. Or see her on Day of the Departed since it's not so far away." I snicker. 

The Overlord rolled his head like he was rolled his eyes and chuckled. " I suppose so. Now, how formal is this party?" He asked. " Pretty formal. Slow dance kind of shit." I scratch my nail. He hummed, " Alright. I want you to put her hand on my shoulder." He instructed. I put my hand on his shoulder like he said and he put his hand on my waist. He took his other hand and held mine. " Remember to had a firm hold on your partner but not tight. You don't want to lose balance. Also never let them this close while dancing nor let their hand be on your waist. Higher up alright."

" Step to the left while also turning slightly," He said as he taught me how to actually dance. I was slightly nervous but followed his words. " Don't worry about accidentally stepping on my feet as well. I don't feel pain or anything in fact." He chuckled. " Ok edge lord." I laugh. He sighed and shook his head. We continued to slowly dance in a circle and I totally stepped on his feet. " Is this all?" I question. " Basically. You just gotta move to the beat. You could add some pizzazz to it like dipping your partner or separating only to come back. Want me to teach you all of that?" " Please."

He chuckled as we continued to dance. He showed me how dipping works and how low you should or should not go even though I'd be the one being dipped. I almost fell down when he dipped me but he had a firm grip on me. " You need to hold onto your partner tighter when they dip you." He pulled me up. We started to dance to silent music once again. He lifted my arm up and spun me around. That was easy and fun. We got right back into the dance.

I smiled as I got the hang of dancing. I wasn't stepping on his feet anymore and I was more balanced. I looked up at the Overlords face and he seemed to be almost crying. But a happy crying. " You alright?" I asked. He smiled more and nodded. " Yeah, I'm just remembering when I used to dance with Yin and Kieran. Kieran was such a happy little dancer. And Yin moved so lovely." He looked up at the sky. " Sometimes I wish I could just, die so I could see them again."

I frowned and stopped dancing to hug him. I just quickly shot myself into him and squeezed him. He wasn't excepting such a sudden hug but was happy to receive it. He wrapped his arms around me and smiled. " Even though you're really evil and tried to take over Ninjago, you're still a good man at times. At least to family you are. I love you Great Grandpa."

And that's how I broke the Overlord. And somehow he actually started to cry. How does a shadow cry? No fucking clue but he was. " You alright!?" I pulled away as he wiped his eyes. " I'd never thought I'd hear you say that!" He laughed, drying his eyes. He fanned his eyes and chuckled, " Love you too kid, sorry for trying to corrupt you with dark matter that one time." I rolled my eyes, " Yeah I better get an apology." I giggle.

" You know, I've been wondering something for a while." I mention. The Overlord looked at my confused. I made a ball of pure darkness, " Stick your hand in it." He was even more confused but did it anyways. The Overlord put his hand him and when he took it out, it was still black but had specks of purple in it. He gasped and looked at his hands. " Holy shit that's how my hand originally looked." 

" I... I didn't think that would happen." I hummed and created a larger ball. I pushed it towards him and when it disappeared. He was no longer a shadow. Bright magenta/red eyes like how he had as the Golden Master. His skin was black with purple freckles. His hair was the same. Black with purple speck in it that looked a lot like dark matter. His clothes were royal and a tail came from behind him. It was blackish/purplish. At the end of his tail was more dark matter. Both his hair and end of his tail were dripping. His ears were pointed and had golden cartilage piercings on his right ear. Golden sickle earrings dangled from both of his ears

He looked at himself in shock. I just stared at him. " Holy fuck I gave you your physical form. I really fucked up." I was regretting what I did. He laughed, " You really did!" He tried to hit my shoulder as a joke but I felt literally nothing. Now I was laughing. " You have your form but you can't hit anyone! You can't cause harm!" I laugh. He stared at his hands. " Ah fuck."
