-Foeslayer-

(Bet you forget about Foeslayer! I almost did! Anyways back to the story.)

Foeslayer stood alone in the darkness. 

What just happened? She asked herself.

Barely two seconds before she was in front of a giant-sized Darkstalker. Now she was in a dark room, very probably alone. 

It took a while before her eyes got used to the dark. She had to blink several times.    

"Hello?" she said into the endless void of darkness. 

"Hello," A voice replied.

"I was waiting for you Foe Slayer," the voice continued saying her name in two words.

"Actually, it's Foeslayer," she corrected, oddly she wasn't scared, it felt like talking to an old friend.

"No, you are here to slay the foe, Foeslayer," the voice proceeded.

"What? Who? Darkstalker?" Foeslayer asked. She stopped herself before asking other questions that made her feel guilty of being a mother. 

"Yes, Darkstalker son of Vigilance and Arctic," the voice explained slowly. The truth still stung Foeslayer's heart. Arctic, her husband, her lover, her grumpy handsome icewing was unfaithful. After everything, they've been through? 

He left his tribe for her, he loved her, he was there for her.

Right?

The revelation behind her and Arctic's relationship finally revealed to Foeslayer. Arctic left his tribe, betrayed his tribe for Queen Vigilance, not her. For Queen Vigilance.

"Slayer of Foes, you shall not stop the truth from hurting you now, for it shall always find you in the end," the voice convinced her.

"Don't call me Slayer of Foes!," Foeslayer cried into nothing.

The voice didn't reply, it waited.

Foeslayer looked up into more darkness. She felt alone, betrayed, betraying and scared. 

Why was she here? Why was she free? Why is she alive? What will happen to her? What's wrong with her? Why was she like this? Why is she like this? 

Foeslayer took a deep breath and let everything sink in like the voice had suggested. What else could she do?

Darkstalker is her son and will forever be, the killer of the one she loved, brother of poor Whiteout, who Foeslayer did not know what happened to. 

Arctic didn't love her, he loved Vigilance. He married her to not raise suspicions of his illegal relationship, he betrayed her. She betrayed him, she will betray him by trying to kill his son. She didn't want to.

Peacemaker is also Foeslayer's son. Love him, teach him, make him sensitive to evil. Promise to never turn him evil like her other son. The same son.

Foeslayer took her head in her talons. All this was mixing her up. She wasn't ready.

"You are ready, you always were," the voice encouraged her as if reading her mind.

"Do you read minds?" Foeslayer asked. She'd have enough of lies, enough of Arctic, enough of Foeslayer, enough of life! She didn't want her life.

"Yes," the voice stated, it had a slight tone of sadness and regret. 

"Do I know you?" this question was completely random nothing of this voice was familiar. Maybe it wasn't even someone she knew. She was bored and annoyed in life. Why not talk with an imaginary person? What could that do to her?

Everything she knows if almost all a lie.

"Yes, we know each other," the voice answered still painfully.

"You are?" she asked.

"I am...your son, Darkstalker," the voice whispered sorely. Foeslayer felt the pain and sadness he spoke it with. 

Foeslayer felt her face turn pale. She looked at her shaking talons. Surprisingly she could still see them.

"What?" she managed to answer in one breath.   




Sorry for the long wait everyone. Hope you enjoy!
