"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
(Cue the song)
The dark mage surveyed her surroundings like a general scanning the battlefield. Her ebony wolf stone pulsed in rhythmic,synchronized hues. Shadows flickered across her cruel, midnight eyes. Adriane was her name or had been. Her mind,heart and soul were locked away, in a shadowy place she could never reach. Full of memories she could no longer feel, emotions she could no longer sense. She couldn't remember anything. She'd once been a warrior, someone strong who  fought for justice, she knew that much. She had all the power, more strength than she than she ever dreamed of. Finish this!  Destroy everyone who gets in your path! The manipulative,sadistic voice rang in her head. Like an echo the words repeated themselves, making it clear what she had to do. Her eyes widened, sparks flew from the beautiful,unknown darkness that stood before her. Her life was literal torture, abused,abandoned,rejected,bullied,lonesome. It was anything but perfect.  Transforming her from a fighter designed to combat evil....to the most powerful living eclipse the world had ever known. The best part? She was stronger than ever. Enhanced dark magic made her utterly...completely.....unstoppable. No one suspected a thing all along. Not one. Now freed from the terrible burden of friendship and love, she'd take them by surprise. She had this perfectly orchestrated, she was only pretending to be friends with Shiny and Emily. When in reality she deceived,used, manipulated them,now she had them right where she wanted. A malevolent,sinister smirk escaped her mouth and lips. Those memories may have faded away like mist. But the feelings were still there. "You'll never know what hit you, won't see me closing in.". The dark mage started spellsinging, the notes whispering through the air. On cue the shadow monsters rose from the ground, eager to obliterate their enemies. You've grown to be very talented indeed. So go out and prove your worth! Bring Ravenswood to the grave! The command, crystal clear in the mind of the hunter, seeped it's way into her heart. All was going according to plan. This time, she would make them all see. "Yes...let us go to Ravenswood." the shadows strayed from their owners, as cloaked themselves around the disaster that was about to take place. The Dark Sorceress grinned, for she also used to be a warrior mage. Until that fateful day when she realized the only way to be powerful was to become a dark mage.
She went through the same experiences as Adriane, only this time the two already succeeded. Succeeded in deceiving,manipulating their closest allies in order to fulfill their destinies. Now all would know the combined force of their powers. No one could stop them. No one. No one. No one.
Not even their closest friends.

You'll never know what hit you, won't see me closing in. I'm underneath your skin. The devil within.

You'll never know what hit you.
