"Do we fight them or do we run away?" Jade whispered.

We were being attacked by the Qwen, who had flown to Uranus, where we lived. This was already the twenty-third time since they found out we were still alive.

Of course, those jerks had wanted us to be dead.

I did not know why they felt the need to attack us. As if we were about to try to destroy them! On second thoughts, that was actually what I was planning. Oops. Revenge. Sweet revenge... They not only banished us, they even tried to kill us. Had I not protected Jade and I with a darkness shield we would have died.

They tried to kill us multiple times but I killed the killers. That was when they banished us, because they were afraid of me, not because we broke Earth. That was what I told Jade, and she believed me. I could never tell her what I was.

I was a monster. A demon the Qwen didn't know how to control. A reaper...

They banished Jade along with me. They thought Jade was like me. I was guilty for her not being on Earth. Even more guilty for wanting her with me forever.

"Jet? What do we do?" Jade interrupted my line of thought.

I turned to her.

"Obviously we fight," I replied. "Come on. Let's go."

I jumped up from the armchair I had made out of shadows and grab my spear and sword. Jade shook her head, sighed and stood up from the armchair I had made out of her white light, grabbing her own sword and spear.

I walked to the door as Jade followed me. We climbed down the thirty staircases since the house we built was almost a mansion. Finally we reached the door of solid Darkness and Light.

Alone, I mind-controlled the door of light and darkness to disappear using our powers. It vanished. We stepped out, made the door reappear and immediately saw the Qwen's army, marching toward us.

Definitely not stressful.

Well, maybe it wasn't the same for Jade, but I felt bored.

They were just a bunch of idiots, after all...
