It's time. What time is it? For the convention, of course! Hello my name is Wilby Hinojosa and I'm heading to the convention with my best friends, Ethan and Baylee. This is actually our first time going to a convention, so we decided to make it memorable. How you may or may not ask, we all decided to cosplay.

Ethan decided to cosplay as the hunter from Monster Hunter, wearing barroth armor, but he couldn't get a barroth switch axe because, two things. One, it was much too big to go anywhere and two, where on Earth would he get such a monstrosity, pun totally intended. Pun aside, he's probably the one who put the least amount of effort, all he really needed was the armor and viola.

Baylee cosplayed as one of her favorite characters, Weiss from RWBY. She took the next step, as in got colored contacts and dyed her hair, also the clothing to boot as well. She was already pretty pale so she didn't have to worry about that. All she was missing was her rapier, sadly.

As for me, I went up and beyond. I didn't technically cosplay but I did look pretty badass. I dyed my hair jet black and gotten two different color contacts, the right one red and the left one yellow. For what I'm wearing now, sit tight it's sort of a doozy (and by doozy I mean it's sort of a mixture of cothing from several characters). It somewhat resembles Zack Fair's clothing, but minus the pauldrons, it's also sporting a black waist cape with a red outline sort of like Vanitas', my right arm is fully sleeved with a black fingerless glove, while my left arm is sleeveless but has an armguard covered in black feathers along with a fully black glove, I also have a long black scarf to top it all off. Hopefully this gave you some idea what I look like.

Also, since it is a character of my own design, I might as well say what my character can also do. First off I am master in dark magic or what I prefer, shadow magic. As a master I have recreated the basic spells such as fire, ice, thunder, etc., except they are a dark version, for example thunder is black thunder, fire is shadow fire, and ice is dark ice. But there's also the actual shadow magic, I can manipulate shadows to do basically do anything with the only limitation being my mind. I can also use the shadows to heal all manner of wounds (will go into further detail later on).

I can also use magic on myself to turn me into a shadow beast. I basically just absorb shadows all around me and I transform into a extremely powerful monster. Downside is I don't have much control.

That's just magic, now we get to talk about my strengths. Being born from the shadows, literally, gives significant boost to my natural abilities (which will go into further detail later on as well).

There's a reason why my eyes are different as well. The right eye or red one, allows me to see things that aren't normally seen. While the left eye or yellow one is much more special, it allows me to copy pretty much any fighting style, but I must have seen it.

As for my kryptonite, which is pretty basic. I am weak to light magic, of course, since I am a being born from darkness, but I am also vulnerable to extreme levels of temperatures.

Finally my weapons, five throwing knifes on my right side of my waist. A very special sword on my left side of my waist. How special is this sword? The entire sword itself resembled the HF muramasa blade from Metal Gear and has the design of the maxed out sora katana from Red Steel 2 but it's color design is black obsidian. What makes it special however is that it can change into all sorts of different blades. Basically it is a katana that can morph into a chain blade, a broad sword, dual blades, a short/long sword, and ect..

That is basically my character right there, has it's strengths and weaknesses. Of course just like my friends, I couldn't get my sword. But not having our last piece won't stop our fun.

Now that we've gotten all that out of the way, let us move onto the convention.

We had just arrived at the convention and already we were pretty excited. Lots of people were asking us for photos and plenty were asking about who I was cosplaying as, I gave them answers such as "It's my own design" or "Something I made up." People were pretty impressed to say the least.

After a while we all decided to go buy some stuff, because why not. We found a stand with this really cool merchant from Resident Evil, so we decided to try out this place first.

"Greetings valiant hunter, fabulous Weiss, and uh... who might you be young traveler?" The merchant attempt to greet.

I smirked, "I am Wilby, last of the shadow warriors!" I said with much enthusiasm.

"Then greetings to you shadow warrior." He finally finished. "See anything that catches your eyes young travelers?"

What we found was very surprising. Ethan managed to find an assault axe, while Baylee found the myrtenaster, and I found a sheath similar to Jetstream Sam but the sword was black with the red markings of the sora katana. To say i was surprised would be an understatement.

"Ah, I see theses weapons caught your eyes. If you wish to purchase them, the axe is $200, the katana is $150, and the rapier is $125" The merchant has informed us.

My brain was displaying all sorts of warning signs, but I didn't pay attention. I mean what is it gonna do, send me into a completely different world? If it did, I'll totally laugh my ass off, in all honesty. I mean, they were all at reasonable prices and I know the axe would be a problem for Ethan, but I didn't say anything... what? I didn't want him to walk out of here without paying for damn thing, plus it would be hilarious to watch him dragging it around.

So we all paid for items respectively and walked out with our brand new toys.

Then that's when it happened, Baylee fell to the floor but she disappeared before she hit it, then it happen to Ethan. I was starting to wonder what was put into that burger. Then all of a sudden these black tendrils surround me, grabbing hold of me. My first thoughts when this started to happen was 'Oh no, I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.' Those would be my thoughts if I was insane, instead I reacted immediately to it by screaming. I was slowly being pulled into the ground but I saw the merchant from earlier and reach out my hand to him. All he did was wave to me... I was distraught, why wouldn't he help me. Slowly but surely I was pulled in, my arm being the last thing to disappear.

Here I am... just floating in darkness. Going through agonizing pain, this... nothingness just flowing into me, destroying my body slowly, but at the same time, rebuilding it. It was strange but, all I wanted now was to drift into unconsciousness. Luckily I've gotten want I wanted... I would say everything went black, but that would be a little redundant seeing everything was black.

Unknowingly to me however, I was heading to some sort of light.
