Abandoned

Beginnings

Chapter 1

Wisps of shadows floated towards a non-existent ceiling like wraiths. They twisted and turned as they reached for oblivion. Much like the current resident of this strange realm. A female like shadow dashed throughout the smoke of the monotone plane. She twisted and turned as she navigated the strange world.

She was the ruler here. It's her safe place. Her realm. At least that's what the shadow believed, until she saw it. 

It just floated there. Taunting her! It was in her realm! It was an odd type of mask, it was made of the same wispy shadows as everything, but it seemed...weird somehow. The mask almost looked liquid, like tar. The dim light of the realm seemed to melt off of it making it look..alive. 

"I assure you dear, I am very much alive.",the shade stumbled backwards as the mask seemed to bounce to punctuate the filtered voice that emerged from it's depths. She fell backwards into the black misty plains of the realm,and watched stunned as the mask seemed to melt. Onyx blobs started to bubble and splatter as they hit the misty ground of the realm. The blobs started to bubble together until one giant mass towered over her. The mask laughed and started to dimly glow a deep crimson.

She started to slowly move backwards as the crimson slowly coalesced into a blurry version of various scopes where the left eye would normally be. The right eye slowly turned into a "happy eye". "Now where are you going?",the bubbling mass took slow "steps" if they could even be called that. The shade stared warily at the figure as it lumbered towards her. Two globs bubbled into existence, and slowly formed into knarled versions of arms. The figure lifted it's mangled arms in a shrug, "What? Cat got your tongue?", echoing laughter seemed to follow this statement. 

The shade shook her head as her wariness was shoved to the side in favor of more aggressive emotions. Emotions similar to a territorial anger. This odd blob had entered her realm, and made her wary! Made her stunned! This was unheard of. A dull gold started to emitt from her face as her eyes glowed in anger. This was her home....The only home she'd ever had...and she was going to protect it, claim it! Even if it killed her....

"My my, what strong emotions from such a small lady.", the mask floated higher into the air as if it was taunting her further. The shade rised from the ground and narrowed her golden eyes at the bubbling mass. The mass watched,amused, as massive wings exploded out of the shade's back. The wings looked ragged and torn as they dripped and fluttered in the non-existent wind. The shadowy wings appeared as if they had been dunked in the thickest of ebony oil paint, then submerged in a body of water. It seemed to create a dripping oil effect, that reflected all of the shades of the monotone color scheme. The mask tilted, "How cute." The shades face split in what could be assumed was a grin. Her hands, that more resembled claws, lit with black electricty. She shot forward with her hands outstretched, planning on impaling the intruder. 

CLANG! Electricity flew as sharp claws collided with....something. "My my, that almost connected!", The mask bounced into her face, "Almost." The shade backed away as she looked at what the globular mass was holding. It looked like a massive scythe with a blade that resembled a trapezoid. "Ya know,little bird, I think you need to be taught a lesson in sharing." ,the voice hissed at her. The mass took a fluid step forward and crushed the flat side of it's scythe into her side.  "FORE!" The shade bounced along the ground until she hit a shadowy pillar. She bounced off of the pillar, and expected to slam back into the shadowy ground of the realm but instead found herself falling. The shade glanced around in a panic as she realized where she was. That damn mass had opened a portal right under her! The shade flailed about, and tried to fly back to the realm. To her home. 

The mass glanced down the swirling black and white shadows of the portal. It could faintly make out the small dot, that was the small bird. The mass whooped and threw his arms in the air, "Hole in one!"

Somewhere in the material realm

"Oh come on Mist! All I did was makae your room oh so pretty!", a boy with bright silver hair that almost looked liquid seemed to be begging with a girl that had bright platinum blonde hair. "You covered the walls in your disgusting metal! Now I can't even go in there without worrying about dying!", the blonde glared at the silver haired boy as he relaxed and waved a pale hand in her direction," Oh pish posh, a little dying is not that bad! In fact I'm pretty sure it would benefit Flare and I quite nicely!" Mist seemed to get angrier at this, "Fix. My. Quarters. Now. Jasper." Jasper grinned at her and pushed off of the wall he had previously been leaning against, "Well aren't you just a pushy ball of sunshine." 

Jasper walked into Mist's room, and glanced around at the gleaming silver walls. He shrugged and walked further into the room, "Looks fine to me..." "You better clean it up Jasper, or I will convince Flare to melt your entire room!" Jasper glanced towards the door, and blew a tired breath out. He turned back around and raised his hand into the air. As he did all of the silver substance in the room lifted into the air. He threw his hands into a ball and grinned as all of the liquid globbed together into one huge ball. Jasper thinned it into a stream,and brought it towards himself. The glob split up into multiple tiny streams that slithered back into the strange suit he was wearing. It filled up all of the empty tracks in his suit, and started to sluggishly circulate thoughout it. "Ah,all done!" As he finished this sentence a sound akin to ripping filled the room. Jasper glanced at the ceiling just in time to see a massive violet and black portal rip open. Wind filled the room as black electricity crackeled and shot off in random directions. He was even more surprised to see a shadowy creature fall out of it, and slam into the bed. The room shook from the force of it, and then exploded into sound again as the portal closed. Mist burst into the room at that same time, "What is happening in here?!" She glanced wearily at Jasper as he seemed to grin. "I knew I was a chick magnet but damn."

So this is the first redone chapter. The others will follow soon, so just a word to any first time readers the next chapter will make no sense with this one. I'm redoing the entire book. So yeah everything is being scrapped. Shattered and I realized that we screwed up with how we went about everything, so we're in the process of a lot of writing, editing, and planning.
