I'm on what seems to be ship in the middle of the night, or thats what I thought. I'm standing on the main deck and I could hear waves splashing against the bow, but there wasn't a spray or anything, just the sound. After looking around at the pitch black something came to me. Why can't I see? My eyes are extremely good at night due to my wolfish traits and demonic inheritance, so why can't I pierce the darkness surrounding me? "ThAt WoUlD Be Me.."
Turning around I could clearly see a man, but not like any I've ever seen. He stood at nine feet tall, taller the me even! He also was thin as hell. I'm talking Gaster from undertale thin. After looking at his frame I noticed his face. It was... odd to say the least. He has a muzzle that was better placed on a fifth graders picture of a shadow wraith. "WoW... tHaT's HaRsH. ShOuLdN't HaVe ExPeCtEd AnY bEtTeR fRoM mY sOn..."
I feel my spine straighten and I take a closer look at him before snarling, "You're not my Dad."
He chuckled and nodded before saying, "PoSsEsSiOn WoRkS wOnDeRs DoEsN't It?"
I sit there for a few minutes before it strikes me, he possessed my biological Dad and basically fucked my Mom. Bloody fucking fantastic. I kept looking at him before saying, "So you're my Dad.... Why?"
He didn't expect that. It even took him even a few minutes trying to think about it. He answered my question with a lengthy explanation, "I nEeDeD aN hEiR tO tAkE mY pOsItIoN. WhIlE mOsT vOiD dWeLlErS lIkE tO bElIeVe ThAt ThEy'Re eTeRnAl, It IsN't TrUe BeCaUsE wHiLe UnIvErSeS cAn PaSs In A bLiNk Of An EyE, ThErE's OnLy So MaNy BlInKs We HaVe.
He stopped for a moment before continuing, "I'm GoInG tO pAsS oNtO oBlIvIoN sOoN aNd I dOn'T wAnT aLl ThIs PoWeR tO gO tO wAsTe WhEn I pAsS, tHiNk Of It LiKe... InHeRiTaNcE."
I think on that for a few moments before saying, "So, when you... kick the bucket I inherit all your power?"
He nodded and said, "BaSiCaLlY. BuT i WaNtEd To GiVe YoU sOmEtHiNg BeFoRe YoU gO. PaSs Me YoUr BoOk ThAt YoU BoUgHt FrOm ThE mErChAnT."
I dig through my satchel and grab the thick journal containing the picture of Xavier. I hand the journal over and he gently lifts it and starts weaving what looked like pure darkness around it until an entire cocoon of darkness covered it. He twisted the strands hard and they snapped, retreating back to wherever they belong. But instead of the simple journal between his hands there was a journal similar to the ones from gravity falls, except it had the same emblem from my shirt on it where the hand should be, plus the bold word edged with silver proclaiming "Bestiary of Equestria and surrounding countries". It had a book mark attached to it with a piece of metal in the shape of a certain dream demon. It also had a silver clasp with a button in the middle acting as the lock, but it seemed... off.
'Dad' chuckled and said, "It CaN oNlY bE oPeNeD bY oThEr DiSpLaCeD, oR oThErS lIkE yOu. BuT I WaNt YoU tO sHaRe YoUr DiScOvErIeS wItH tHe OtHeR oNeS." Hmm, so all I've got do is write about beasties from Equestria and her neighboring-wait... Others like me? Displaced? 'Dad' Chuckled again and nodded in what I hoped was understanding and spoke in his gravely voice saying, "YeS, oThErS lIkE yOu. YoU'rE nOt AlOnE iN tHiS. OtHeRs HaVe BeEn TrIcKeD iNtO ThEsE UnIvErSe'S. To Be AbLe To MeEt OtHeRs YoU wIlL nEeD tO AcTiVaTe It. YoU'vE gOt To SaY a MeSsAgE wHiLe HoLdInG iT aNd FoCuS yOuR pOwEr InTo It. AnD mY rEaL nAmE iS ShAdOs."
I nod and hold the book perfectly still, then I began focusing my power into it before saying, "For those with a need call upon me, Daxinium, demonic hunter of the night, son of Shados the void dweller, destroyer of sunny town, and keeper of Bill Cipher the Dream Demon. If you harm my family and friends, prepare for a world of pain, but beware those who hurt others for the good of none. Because if you do, I will bathe you in DeMoN fIrE and send your soul to the void for everlasting solitude. But for those with good will, glad to meet'cha. Unlock the book and we will be acquainted." After finishing I looked at 'father' and asked, "That should do it right?"
'Dad' chuckled again and nodded before grabbing the book, dropping it into a portal that looked like it simply broke it into fractals before the original dropped back into his hand and handed it back to me before saying, "I aLsO hAvE oNe LaSt GiFt FoR yOu. If YoU wAnT iT oF cOuRsE..."
Another gift eh? "As long as it's something fun."
'Dad' nodded and handed me another book, though this time it had nothing fancy, just some obsidian colored words spelling UMBRAMANCY AND IT'S USES. Other then that, the book was covered with a simple leather binding. 'Dad' nodded and spoke again, "YoUr MaIn InHeRiTaNcE iS tHe UsE oF sHaDoWmAnCy, A pOwErFuL mAgIc CaPaBlE oF aLmOsT aNyThInG.
He leaned closer and pointed a finger at my forehead and said, "NoW... SLEEP..."
As the world fell away, I dully noted that I fall unconscious like this way too often for my tastes, whatever they may be...
Author's Note
This was irritatingly hard to make because of the way Shados speaks. But Dax is now open for crossovers! Mail me if you want to do a crossover or anything similar to it. Also, I'm going to add a few tags due to a split decision with my inner conflict, so don't be confused with the tag additions. and sorry for the extremely short chapter, just didn't have much to work with.![]()
