Y/n POV
—————
You wake up in a black room just like you do in every dream. But when the room brightens up you see that it's larger than normal. You get off the floor and look around, there are what looks like bits of flesh all-over the place, on the pillars on the floor the ceiling, you have an eerie feeling something bad is about to happen.

You then hear someone snap their fingers, you hide behind a pillar and look around, you see a man sitting on a throne with a mask made of bone, another person enters the room with a platter, he opens the platter and you see an animal made of wood, just like Owlbert. He cracks it open with his finger and pours some liquid into his eyes, the liquid is a neon green but after the color dies out you can see a tinge of blue coming from his eyes.

You stay behind the pillar and look for a weapon to protect yourself, but the floor then falls from beneath you. You hit the floor with an audible thud being heard.

You look around and see that your in the prison again. You get up and feel the cold iron shackles on your feet. You look for the warden, who then comes into the room, you can see his eyes shining in a different color, it had a purple glow, he spots you and approaches you.

Warden?: Ah y/n you're back earlier than expected.

He then looks at your arm, you look at it and see that there's a piece of flesh from the other throne room.

Warden?: Hmm I see that you've had an encounter with Emperor Belos.

Y/n: Emperor Belos? You know him?

Warden?: He rules the boiling isles and is the creator of the coven system. He also is our enemy.

Y/n: Our?

He walks around a bit more.

Warden?: You know, me, the other shadow, and you.

Y/n: You and the shadow man are different?

He sits down on his desk and pulls out a cigar, he lights it in his mouth and a puffs out some smoke.

Warden?: Of course we are, but we have to talk about Belos. He's trying to control the entire island and it's magical capabilities.

Y/n: How is that bad?

Warden?: You know how the island looks like it's made of a giant right? Well Belos claims that he can talk too it, but what we are really worried about is that he is practicing is the forbidden art of necromancy.

Y/n: Isn't that a type of magic as well ?

Warden?: Yes'nt. It is a form of magic but is a dark art. There are two kingdoms which controls different types of magic: The cursed kingdom and The kingdom of the blessed.

Y/n: OK.

Warden?: Yeah, the other one will explain it better in detail. In any case you belong to the cursed. But necromancy is a forbidden art that the cursed can use, but he is a near mortal. If anything we have to stop him before the blessed get their hands on him. Then we are in big trouble. Anyway your time is up now get up.

The prison then fades away and you see a light appear.

Back to the real world
—————
You wake up with a start, you look around and then go to the toilet to freshen up. You wash your face brush your teeth and look in the mirror, you see the black veins sprouting from your right eye but this time they seem darker, you look at your hand and see a few black veins there as well. You rub your eyes and sigh.

Y/n: This curse is getting worse. Ugh, wait the other shadow didn't tell me the actual cure. There might be a way to really stop it.

You know you can't meet him during the day, so you just have to wait until you fall asleep. You get out of the toilet and see Eda looking groggy and tired she yawns and goes inside.
