When Worlds Collide

Chapter 29

TW: EXECUTION? DEATH

Clasfier/Unknown

"She has been getting more powerful, we have to finish our plan faster" Said the Mistress, who has been pacing around ever since she learned the fact that Kristin used her power again.

"She doesn't have enough power to kill someone, we will be fine." If she were to rush through her plan, I wouldn't be able to predict the outcomes, which would be the cause of a catastrophic disaster.

"You don't understand, do you? It's bad enough that you creatures can only have powers if you bond with us which is a weakness, but she isn't bonded with any shadow! That means she has almost no weaknesses. The only way I could be equal to her is if I had a body. Now she had enough rage to slice his head off clean, she didn't. Not because she doesn't have enough power, its because she has incredible control."

"And in the battlefield, she wouldn't get tired, since she would be using her power efficiently." I said, finally understanding her worries, which could be used to my advantage.

"Then let's train." I said confidently.

"What?" She asked.

"We will train to use our power more efficiently, and by the time our plan reaches the last part, we would be somehow equal. Maybe more powerful than her." I said.

"And she is already preparing to train which means she will be even more powerful! We need to act faster." She said, already preparing to leave.

"Wait! I'm afraid you are making decisions hastily Mistress, maybe even out of fe—" I was interrupted by the sharp stinging in my head. I had gone too far.

"Listen to me. I am a shadow, and I fear nothing. We work together because we need something from each other, but I don't need you. I can wait hundreds of years and get what I want. A safe space for my species, but I could have casualties. So, because I care, I need you. But you, desperately need me." She said, and she was right. I was aware of the fact that the Mistress did have an option, while I didn't. But she had much more to lose, while I didn't. If I were to fail, it wouldn't affect much, but if she were to fail...

An entire species could be eradicated. She would be the cause of death of billions of shadows, who have lost enough.

But having these feelings are a weakness. I need to go ahead with my plan, no matter the timeline. Thankfully, the Mistress left the room. To probably inform the shadows of her new plan.

"Lieutenant, summon Isalieus of Planet Voanerth. I have a message."

"Yes, Empress." He said.

All the survivors of the... New World, were put into the dungeons, since there were supposed to be no survivors. The Mistress immediately summoned the smartest shadows to find out why they couldn't control them, and surprisingly she included me in the meeting, to discuss theories. One of the shadows had a theory that the creatures of Voanerth were driven to poverty, so they had more obstacles in order to survive, which could make them unsusceptible.

The Mistress executed the shadow the next day, saying she could not make sacrifices for shadows who have such preposterous ideas.

"Your Majesty, he is here." The Lieutenant said.

"Isalieus, welcome back." I said with a smirk, my back facing him. I turned around to look at him to see him trembling, out of cold or fear, or maybe both. His clothes were torn, which looked like rags. probably the prisoners' work.

"Go to Earth. Find a person named Kristin Parker, or some else named Ava Parker. Tell them, to be ready. Do not come back after the message is received, your knowledge of the Other Worlds from you job as a messenger should be helpful to them and introduce yourself as the Messenger of the Empress. Do you understand?"

He didn't reply.

"I said, Do you understand?" I said, using my power which made Isalieus cower and the Lieutenant raise his eyebrows in shock, who probably thought I had no powers.

"Y- yes, your Ma- Majesty." He stuttered, the light from his eyes which vanished the moment the shadows attacked his family, his home.

Feelings are weaknesses, and I will not have any.

A/N: So, I am planning on doing a special chapter. Either from Ken's pov, or Isalieus's pov. Both of them will be interesting. Also I am doing this cause we just reached 400 reads (somehow) and wanted to give something special to my readers. i would put a smily face but the emojies don't work for me so here you go :) It's the best I can do.

Also, will post another chapter in a few hours, might not cause I'm going to the beach.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT
