Previous ChapterNext Chapter[A woman takes the first step up the stairs.
Her subjects watch on with pride in their hearts.
Her children follow behind her, smiles on their faces.
Royal Lightning flashes time and time again outside.
Reaching the top of the steps, she turns, and grins.
The Queen of Storms takes her throne.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6_722bLF-I)
Deep, deep in the Abysmal Abyss, far into the depths of inky black, was a strange, eerie form. It's single, blood red eye gleamed with malice, and it's mandibles chattered as the singular eye gazed at the expanse of black above. It's eye flickered closed, and it stopped all movement.
For hours it stood still, until finally, it's mandibles started to click and chatter in some alien manner. The chittering and chattering echoed throughout the chasm, growing louder, and louder, until it was near deafening.
In the distant, desolate volcanic Black Skull Island, a certain Changeling Queen heard the chattering, and her crooked horn glowed an eerie black, green, and purple aura, making her grin.
In the far, far north, in the Crystal Empire, a certain curved red horn glowed with the same aura, and whispers from those caged below the Empire's crystal and ice made the aura only glow brighter.
The Dark was amassing once more.
Author's Note
EDIT: Added a new, better intro, complete with a new, better song.
EDIT: Added an intro, complete with a song.
Really short, I know, but I feel this gets the idea across well enough. It was originally longer, but too many things conflicted with what I had in mind, and I rewrote it to this. Besides, this way it keeps things vague, and you all know how I love being vague. I hope it's still a good enough snack for your hungry minds to feast on, though.
Thanks for reading.
