Stage 10

Krad wriggled as hands grasped him, he screamed but no noise left him, his body floating in the thick red crimson blood that bubbled and kept him there. Krad thrashed about, a small light glowing in his pocket, he reached for it, his hands grasping the stone, a golden light flooded the area and he found himself falling.

Blood gushed out into the rip he caused, his form hitting the hard black ground. A scream left him as he landed with a thump. He started couching, blood dripping from his lips and his body, drenched red. Golden eyes snapped up as a squawk came from above, the black crow fluttered before standing on the ground. It cocked its head behind it signalling the blonde to go that way before it hopped onto his shoulder.

Krad ran, his eyes staying locked in front of him. He skidded to a stop as hands crawled out of the ground, the bones black with muck, Krad gritted his teethe, his feet speeding across the ground as hands grasped for his ankles. The crow sat quietly on his shoulder.

The blonde skidded to a stop, his eyes looking at two trees, exactly the same, the arms stretched out as if reaching for him, a gulp left him as he stepped towards one, he legged it and ran towards the one on the left, his body falling through the tree as the hacked away limbs grasped him tightly.

"AH!" He landed with a thump, his stomach hitting black stones. He looked up, a tree with bits of bodies standing behind him, its black bark dead. Sounds came from the forest of black surrounding him, the dark realms black trees uninviting and haunting. He stood, his white figure glowing against the dark colours. A moon hung in the air, its shape a pumpkin. Bats fluttered in the sky, as did crows and other creatures of the night.

Krad walked forward carefully, a black large wall surrounding the inner part of the dark realm.

"Okay! Listen up, we are going to fight those bastards back to the city, no one shall give up!" A woman stalked up and down her men, her sliver hair short and as fine as spiders webs, her eyes a deep emerald green, her body covered in a purple witches outfit, an army cap perched on her head.

"Okay, the queens soldiers are here, here and here, they will attack from all sides and we must no give up this-"

"Towa!" She turned her eyes ablaze at the person who interrupted her. A large black furred dog like creature with human feet growled a blonde held between its large fangs.

"Look what jasper found!" A ghost howled, its white body see through, the woman raised a brown, she stalked towards the blonde.

Krad gritted his teethe as he was thrown on the floor, the crow fluttering near him, it squawked as the woman neared, its claws digging into Krad's back as it hissed a argument at the woman.

"Now what you bleeding bird………What do you mean?...OI! Watch who your calling old hag, I have a nice potion that involves using a crow" The crow mock laughed her, sending her into a fit of rage, it squawked in more laughter as she missed.

"Bloody bird" Her eyes turned to the blonde. She nodded to the ghost who whispered into the creature's ear.

"So, what is a little prince of light, doing in our realm?" She asked.

"To help a friend" Krad hissed.

"Oh really now…and who would that be"

"…Dark…" The crow squawked after Krad said its masters name, a hiss leaving it as it glared.

"You mean…he's returned?" This question was not directed at the hot sexy blonde, but the lump of feathers named…the crow…It nodded its head. The girl squealed in joy and hugged the poor animal sending it into a set of hacking coughing fits.

"Well, lad, get up" She held her hand to Krad.

"T-thanks…" She hauled the boy up, a smile gracing her lips as the blonde stood in front of her.

"Well lads and ladies" She smiled. "This here light lover has helped the true heir and he has returned!" Cheers followed soon after, her green eyes snapped to the blonde. "But, that, cackling, witch, pig faced, demon, scum bag, rat has taken him, is that right?" The blonde nodded.

"Okay boys and girls lets get em!" cheers followed after, the demons and creatures of the dark realm bouncing in joy.

Rain pelted down, the world outsight drenched to the bone with water, Risa smiled as she slid gracefully across the floor, her eyes bright and knowing, she slipped into her dressing room and flung open her cupboard, a large smile crept onto her face as she pulled out a large blood rose dress.

Dark sat still as the servants that had come to him by Risa's order began to groom him, his hair now shinning in every shade of purple, his skin, sparkling in the light while he sat cross legged on the bed, a large brown blanket wrapped around his form. The servants pulled out various clothes and held them up against him, then, they shook their heads before moving to the next.

The hall was filling with anxious guests, the queen was to be married, to whom, none knew, but where deeply overjoyed while others, forced to this not so joyful event.

Risa was clothed, her long silk blood rose dress covering her fine body, her curves shown off in the material while her fangs crystal white. A long black coat was draped over her form while a large crown sat on her head, she grinned and waltzed to her station.

Dark was pulled into the room, the servants leading him to two large doors before they stopped, he was dressed in black, his trousers pure back while his top, a white shirt and black tie covered with a black jacket hung very loosely over his female like form. Confused purple eyes watched the servants as they stayed with him, one had their ear pressed to the door.

"And now, for all my loyal subjects, as you know" Two figures slipped in, one dressed in a long flowing black cap, the other covered by a deep brown one. They sat at the back, listening.

"I am to be wedded, and now, you shall meet the groom, my prince…" The doors opened as a confused Dark was lead to Risa, gasps were heard as he stood still in the doorway, a figure covered in brown growled, his eyes darting to the queen.

"Shh…not now…wait…" Dark was lead up, he had no idea what was happening, the queen taking his hand and watching the servants leave. The vicar stepped forward, his old beard running off his skeleton face, his skull a yellow colour.

"We are gathered here today to see the union of our lovely queen Risa and Prince Dark, do you, queen Risa, take this man to be your husband?" he vicar paused, his eyes looking at the true heir. "Do you take this man to wipe away your tears and to protect you and love you with all he has?"

"I do" She smiled.

"And do you take this fair ladies hand?"

"…I-"

"He does" Risa hissed, Dark watched unsure of what was going on, he blinked.

"If none have any query on why these two should not be wedded, speak none or forever stay silent" There was no noise, Risa leaned towards Dark.

"You may now kiss" Her lips so close.

"I have a query!"
