Vinx, April 2015 - "... and hopefully I will return sometime in the future with the long-planned sequel."
Vinx, Autumn 2019 - "I... have a promise to keep."
Backup Plan 2 is now updating
A creeping chill came over Dikayumi and he shivered, once again suddenly feeling like there were evil eyes fixed on him, watching his every movement. He glanced towards the others, but it didn't feel right to be either of them.
Darkness began to obscure the edges of his vision. He blinked, then again, only to realize it wasn't his eyes playing tricks on him. A black shadow wrapped its arms around his neck from behind, and the cold chill he had felt was suddenly breathing in his ear.
You're mine, Quincy.
Dikayumi jumped away, his heart racing, but when he turned, bow raised, to face whatever it was that had whispered to him, he saw nothing.
The deep sense of unease remained, however, and he could feel that black shadow laughing at him.
Then the chill was back, creeping up his spine, making his hair stand on end.
He whirled, firing instinctively, but there was nothing there. His arrow hit a random rock and sent sharp shards flying. Dikayumi couldn't shake the feeling this time, though, and he glanced over his shoulder, checked the ceiling, flashed around to check the nearby rock formations... anywhere the shadow might be lurking. Nothing.
And yet...
Where do you think you're looking? I'm right here.
And there it was, right in front of Dikayumi's face, staring at him with dead white eyes.
Dikayumi shot it in the face, just as a reflex, but the shadowy black creature just laughed again, baring white teeth at him before vanishing like smoke. The laugh lingered, though, and didn't dissipate like Dikayumi felt it should. It kept going, constantly, maddeningly, unwavering.
I'm always right here!
(Not a preview. It's an... epilogue, of events that happen in the future.)
