Hazbin Hotel 31 Day One Shot Challenge

Day 11 - The Shadows and How they Crack

More insight to my OC overlord Alastor killed.

Something changed recently. I have been called more and more to help my master, the Radio Demon. Because he owns my soul, he can do whatever he desires with it.

Being forced to do everything for him is like I am nothing more than a toy to him. His smile can be seen, even in these shadows.

But something was different here in the shadows. They seem to almost shatter. Let me back up a bit.

He had summoned us before, but to simply fix up a wall, many times - why is it always the same wall? He had summoned us to prepare for different events around this place. It has many rooms, and there are many people nearby. I can't tell where we were, but it must be a common place, like maybe a mini town somewhere in Hell. I am not sure.

The thing is, he has summoned us so many times over the past few months, I can make out names and put those names to voices.

Charlie, a hellborn who sounds like a girl. From a few words I did manage to catch, Charlie is a girl and even I can feel her hidden power. That must be why my master stays here. There is another girl there too. Two more, actually.

One of them I recognized as a girl that has a sort of respect or love for my master. Who knows what she is truly thinking. Now the other girl, she is someone I can sense my master doesn't like. Not that he likes too many souls.

I do hope she is careful in the deals she makes with him. I hope all of them are.

However, a few days ago, I felt the familiar flow of magic rush through the shadows and for a brief moment I saw the girl's face.

Whenever my master makes a deal, his magic is so bright it creates enough light for us to be able to see. Sure the color is in green like his magic, but it is enough to see the details around the world we once called home.

She made a deal with him. I do not know what the deal is. I just know that it seems to be a type of deal that this unclear on the terms. Rather the terms will be laid out later. It is a bit concerning that he made a deal like this. He could easily manipulate her into doing anything. I hope and pray that she will be safe from his capture. The more souls he captures, the stronger he gets. And if he gets any stronger, I am worried he will never be stopped.

For the longest time I didn't think that there was anyone stronger than him. That was until the shadow started to crack and my world began to crumble. He was using his shadows to fight someone. Someone who had angelic light. He must have been fighting someone from heaven. I do not know why he was fighting an Angel, but I do know that he got hurt.

I had always hope that he would get hurt at some point. That if he was to get weakened, maybe the deal would break and I would be free. But that was not the case for me when he got hurt. I could feel his pain. I could feel everything.

I'm afraid that if he is to fall in battle, I too will fade deeper into the shadows. At least with how I am now, I have a sliver of hope that I can escape, but after that fight... I know now that if he is to die, there is no hope.

I also sense as my world crumbled, something was very wrong with my master. My world felt unstable. And while it seems impossible, it's almost as if the shadows got darker. They flickered from light to dark.

While I am always in pain, feeling both mine and my master's pain was horrible. I need to do better as a creature of shadows to protect him. I know now that while his life is in my hands, my life is in his.

A/N: another short one dealing with my OC that I wrote about on day 5. This one revolves around the ending of season 1. Not going to lie, I'd rather like doing these insight little one shots because while I am decent at dialogue, I like the ominous feeling this brings. I might do one more chapter with her, but I'm not sure. I might give her a name in the third part if I do. I have to at that point. I would have written her three times. See you tomorrow.
