Looking down upon the cliff, Constantine noticed odd things. Not just any odd things that were to be noticed about dangerous cliffs, or spooky ones at that. No, she noticed the weirdest things of all the spooky and dangerous things in the world. There was a small shadow in the deepest, darkest part of the pit. Now, any one in the world would think that this was a normal shadow just casting from the cliff, but Constantine had an apt to notice the weirdest things about any thing, anywhere, any one, and any place. So, naturally on this daunting night after every thing that had just happened, she was standing at the cliffs edge speculating over the little shadow just standing there doing nothing.
How odd, thought Constantine, is that not my shadow? Curiously, she waved her arms as she watched the shadowy figure. When the shadowy figure did not move, but simply stayed still, she called down to the figure. "Excuse me little shadow. Why do you not move when I move? Are you not my own?" yelled Constantine. When the echo of her words reached the bottom of the pit, the figure seemed to have understood and finally moved. Ghost-like and swift-like, the shadowy figure gradually made its way up to the tip top of the cliff where Constantine was standing. As the shadow grew larger and larger, it showed its true form. The outline of the shadow was humanly, like a human body has recently been forming there. As the shadow settled itself in front of Constantine, she saw the black shredded flesh-like skin looked like as if it was about to fall off the humanly form. The mouth and eye sockets were eyeless and toothless and black pitted.
Constantine didn't know what to think about the creature. Here she was partly human and partly Stanacky, claimed as a Defisate, it was hard for her to take the entire creature in at one time. the shadowy figure stared at her with a dark face and what seemed like good obligations. "You called upon the Shadow your Highness? What are your intentions on this revolting night in which the Death Shadow seems to be in glorious celebration?" the Shadow creature spoke every word in a hoarsely whisper with a wince, as if the very intention of speaking was too much to handle in his condition.
"I was wondering why you would not move with my physical movements. Are ou my shadow or do you belong to another? The truth must be told immediately." Constantine spoke with a rush and she regretted it as soon as she spoke the words too hurriedly. "Ahhhh. The Highness is worried that the Black One might seek out the traitor and take his rightful revenge?" asked the Shadow. Then it inhaled deeply and had an unreadable facial expression. " is that fright I sense in the bloodstream beating through the Heart that the Highness salvaged from the Daughter of Lies after the Fight of Fires?" the Shadow said with a sly smirk on his face. " the Highness does not seem as strong and as ruthless as she may want to appear I see…"
"What I seem to be is none of your business and none of your concern. The deed has been done and the blood of the Daughter of Lies has been spilt by my hands and shall stain for all eternity. My actions are clear and should ring true to your expectations, Sir." Constantine spat at the Shadow. "What are your supposed 'true' intentions young Defisate?" asked the Shadow.
"The extermination of the Daughter of Lies is as well as known to the world of Aussie. The world, however, does not need to know the reasons and Prophecies. It is not ready to be acknowledged or renowned in this life time or many to come. When the time peeks for the world to have knowledge of it, then they shall know. Until then, they must be ignorant to them." Constantine explained to the Shadow. "Please explain what you ask of me Highness, fore you are not being blunt." Asked the Shadow out of mere curiosity.
Constantine sighed with frustration and arrogance. Constantine was too proud of her actions and yet, she couldn't help but feel the sorrow, pain and suffering for the Humans for the decades to come. "The task I ask of you would be to cast the Spell of Sacrifice over the Humans and let them not know what happened tonight at the Red Full Moon, the People are claimed as Innocents and need be stay that way until The White One makes the proclamation that they are to be announced to." Constantine pleaded to the Shadow. She never, in her entire Defisate life, asked for so much from a Shadow.
"Had you not been the Sister of Dreams and the Mother of Memories, I would turn away and damn what was left of your soul and humanity to the deepest pits of Tarter," said the Shadow with such hatred. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM INFORMING YOU?" exclaimed the Shadow. "YES, I DO!" screamed Constantine, "DO YOU NOT THINK THAT I WOULD RATHER TAKE THE PLACE OF THE DAUGHTER OF LIES AND BE DONE WITH THIS SUFFERING DEED THAN BE THE DEFISATE THAT KILLED A DAUGHTER? ONLY THE WHITE ONE AND GOLD ONE HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING FOR ME! ALL I ASK IS THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THE INNOCENTS AND HUMANS!" Constantine screamed as loud as her lungs would allow. The Shadow merely watched and listened with intent on giving her what she had asked, but the Shadow still wanted more reasoning from her.
"ALL OVER THE WORLD OF AUSSIE THE DEFISATES ARE DYING OUT BECAUSE OF LACK OF BRAVERY AND COURAGE! WELL, NOT ME! I AM NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER DEFISATE SHELL FOR FEAR ANS SCARCITY, MY STAND IS HERE NA DNOW!" Constantine's hands curled into bone whitening fists and sobbing a red faced cry of defeat.
Constantine's body did not feel the same. It started to get colder and colder. A smile of relief started to spread across her face. "You are one to be reckoned with I see young Defisate. As you know by now, the Spell of Sacrifice is being cast. In a few moments the spell will spread through your body and will ice over every inch of your body, thus not releasing any part of your soul…your Highness, you are the only Defisate in the world of Aussie I know that would make the ultimate sacrifice of not letting your soul rest for the innocence of the People and Humans." The Shadow told Constantine. Her body was already hardening and starting to ice over with the clearest and brightest blue. The Shadow stroked her face and said aloud a prayer for the Royal Defisate.
"Red Leader Red Leader
I'm On A Dark Path
I Know I've Sinned, Fore Your Looking Like Wrath.
White Leader White Leader
Give Love And Teach Pray
I Know I've Sinned, Fore I've Gone Astray."
The Shadow, finally completing his task, floated only for a second more longer and then the black shredded flesh-like skin fell off the Shadow and on to the ground as dead leaves and the Shadow saw the morning sun rising up from the horizon and waited for the peek of Light to show through. After a second of wait, the first Blessed Light blazed through the misty Shadow and released the First Human Spirit engulfed from inside to the World of Aussie.
The Human Spirit did not see any trace of Constantine's iced over body. The Human Spirit did not even see the battle field of which The Defisate had defeated the Daughter of Lies and stole her heart as her own that way Constantine could Feel. The Human Spirit only saw what he wanted to see: LIFE
