Black Heart and I ran through the back roads to his home, he didn't know how to walk through shadows and I didn't know how to take others, so running it was.
He took a sharp right and I followed. We ran up-hill for a bit before we reached a river. Since it was early winter, it was slightly frozen and the water below it seemed to be black. Not the dark shade of blue that looks almost black, but black. Void of life, of color. Void of anything good. Almost...
Evil.
I looked back to Black Heart to see him walking across that blackness.
"W-What are you doing?! Are you trying to kill yourself?!" I yelled at him. He looked at me and stopped.
"C'mon. It's the only way there." he said.
"I don't trust i-"
CRACK! SPLASH!
"AHH-! *gurgle*"
"BLACK HEART!!!" I screeched. I knew something bad was gonna happen, I just knew it!
I ran across the cracking water to where the hole was. A perfect circle, the ice around it wasn't even cracked. The ice was about two inches thick. I knew it. This lake.
It's evil.
What do I do? Save my life and run or save Black Heart's and join others like me?
No, I've lived in fear and loneliness my whole life. I won't go back now.
I jumped into the black water and tried to manipulate the shadows under the water. It was hard, but I had it to where the shadows dispersed and the water became a clear blue color, but what I saw made me want the shadows back.
Swarming all around the bottom of the river were Sirens, Serpents, and Water Dragons. Not the good type that let you go, but the type that would act friendly then kill you when your guard's down.
How can you tell the difference? You can tell by the ever so present black and grey on them. The Sirens had pitch black hair, Serpents and Water Dragons had black and dark blue scales with ugly green and murky purple coupling along with it. I looked for Black Heart. He would mostlikely run ot of air soon.
I spotted him by a trio of Mystics. One of each of the beasts running around, all of them easily the biggest.
How the hell am I going to save him now?!
