Fox of the shadows

A man, small in stature, stalked through the night. The smile he wore was one of confidence, in his eyes hid evil intentions. He was stalking Shadow, or, more accurately, her dreams. Picking and choosing the lovely little horrific pieces he could bend and mold to his own design. His plan, flawless. Laughing, he said, “thank you, I’ll have to give you something for your troubles… If you live that long.”

They were back and no one in the city was safe. The Doctor could feel it, they were taking the city and soon everyone living in its walls. He had to stop them somehow, he couldn’t watch such a lovely, technologically advanced city be torn down before his eyes- not again. But the foe were worthy beings not easily vanquished, that was the worst part

“Well, that was quick,” the short man appeared out of nowhere, wearing that same mocking smile as he did before. His sudden appearance made the Doctor jump. “I thought you’d opt to wander around more before deciding on one of the worlds, don’t you think? Tell me, what made the other one so real to you?”

She looked back at the annoying man and gave him “the look”. She had a feeling head the reason she didn’t know. After all, by Shadow fox standards, her brain was fairly young. It shouldn’t be that easy to forget, even in a place like this. Her shadow squirmed slightly, making her look down at it. She knew the shadows were trying to tell her something, but she couldn’t hear them. It was as if she were out of reach of them. That had never happened before…

“I am a simple mermaid trying to get a simple college education and you fUCKERS KEEP PREVENTING THAT BY THROWING WATER BALLOONS AT ME FIVE MINUTES BEFORE CLASS SO IM STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING QUAD FOR A HOUR UNTIL IT WEARS OFF”

“Alternatively, I was skipping class and saw you trying to drag you and your huge ass tail through the courtyard–do you need help? I guess I can carry you to class if you’d like, though I’m not so sure this was worth being called ‘Prince Eric’ for the next two weeks”
