Starlight Solace

Meanwhile, The Overseer was talking to Shadestar about their shared mission of darkness. The Overseer said "This is UNACCEPTABLE, Shadestar!"

"What is, my lord?" Shadestar asked the Overseer, not believing his own ears. "That the six heroes still live, or that the Shadow Heart was rendered powerless AGAIN?!"

"BOTH!!!!" The Overseer exclaimed with pure rage. "Honestly, Shadestar..." he began in an artificially solemn voice... "why do I even believe in you?"

"Because of the Dark Star?" Shadestar answered, in an interrogative (question-asking) voice of his own, which also sounded fearful. The very term "Dark Star" to name the "first" black hole in the universe was, at best... a decent name. It described the object perfectly, since it was LITERALLY a "Dark Star" anyway! "I am the one who wrote the spell that awakens it, but... it'll take some time."

"Time?" A voice called, sounding as shadowy as the voices of Shadestar and the Overseer. "I can arrange that for you. All I ask is one thing in return."

"Name it, and it shall be yours." Shadestar said to a cloud of black mist, knowing it to be a disguise. "You are a member of the Shadow Clan, after all."

"Who exactly is this... mist cloud, Shadestar?" The Overseer asked. "Is it this half-brother of yours you told me about?"

"Indubitably, my lord." Shadestar answered his master. "His name is Sabien, and... we're both sons of King Sombra. He's a mist cloud right now because he hasn't yet become fully accustomed to the Xenotoxic air of the Chaos Dimension, and so he is avoiding the need to breathe it until he can fully adjust. He has some useful abilities, and... reasonable demands. Speaking of which," He turned to the mist cloud that was Sabien. "What do you want this time, brother of mine?"

"Nothing unreasonable, I can assure you... and your master." Sabien replied. "Just... a planet on which to build my own army. It can even be a benefit to you two, if my army has some... determination to defeat your... enemies."

"Done." The Overseer replied. "Just... promise me that your... army knows full well who these... enemies are, and you shall have full rights and control over it. Your planet will be... Umbraria, your lost homeworld. I can't tell you how I found it, but I can tell you this... DON'T... give me ANY... reason to distrust you. My trust in you is thin ice, and even a single step to the wrong side could break it! Understood?"

"Verily, my lord." Sabien responded. "I will do as I'm told."

"Good." The Overseer replied. "Now, Shadestar," He turned to the Umbrarian shadow unicorn. "...is there anything we can do to pass the time for our next plan?"

"Anything." Shadestar replied. "Let us sing a song about the upcoming battle!"

"Yes..." The Overseer agreed. "A song that will be remembered for aeons to come as the source of auditory fear and terror! And... a song that will give us the patience to wait for that ever-so-nearing battle."

The two shadowy figures, from the unicorn and human, were beginning to sing one of their favourite songs, Jaydove's "The Dark Star Awakens" just to pass the sleepy time of the Dark Star.

Now...

The Darkness shall rise

And soon it shall consume

The Light for demise

Is one more way to doom

The Dark Star Awakens

And soon will destroy the Universe

And there's no way to rehearse

Except your preparations for the fight!

Jaydove's right! We must UNITE! So... JOIN THE FIGHT!!!!
