The Author

BS: Thanks for sticking with this stupid author.

TA: I'm not stupid!

KL: Yes, yes you are. After all, you're publishing stories that are only about a thousand words per chapter.

TA: Well, it's hard for me to write this story!

MA: You aren't blaming this whole catastrophe on us, are you?

TA: (cowers in fear) No, not at all, my lovely Fruits of Labor!

When I finally got out of the hospital, I went straight back to my Shadowmaker Watcher. I felt the silly need to check-up on Credence and Emmeline, if just for a bit. Maybe I just wanted to see if they were alright after their little run-in with me at the MACUSA. Were they shaken up? Were they hurt? After all, I had crashed through a window right in front of Emmeline with Credence in my arms. Shards of glass could have gotten anywhere.

My Shadowmaker Watcher was still waiting for me when I got back. I sat down to watch, breathing a sigh of relief as I sat down to rest. Credence and his mother were still safe. They were in their apartment, relaxing on the small couch that Emmeline had bought soon after Credence's birth. Emmeline was singing to him and rocking him at the same time.

It was the picture of a happy family, even if they lived in a run-down apartment building and were just two people. Credence was happy, and so was I. Finally, Credence shut his eyes after a busy day.

ooOO00OOoo

A few hours later, Emmeline quietly put Credence down to bed and I could get some shut-eye myself. When a Shadowmaker rests, their shadow does too. However, I wasn't ready to go to sleep yet. There was still something that I had to do.

I snuck over to the Hospital Ward of the Umbram Saeculi. Earlier in the year, I had heard of something really interesting. One of the Elders had been telling a story about the Obscurus scientists that developed our viewing screens that we Obscuri used to keep an eye on our Shadowmakers. These genii Obscuri had created one other thing before dying in another experiment. They had created the Umbra Lux (Shadow to Light).

It was a small pill that was digestible through drink or dissolving it by lightning. It transfigured the base form of an Obscurus to one of light. Pure light, able to blend in with anything in the human world. You would be able to watch over your Shadowmaker much more closely, without the huge rush to save them from some kind of weird danger.

The only catch? Once the pill is taken, whether ingested or dissolved, there's no going back to being an Obscurus in the Umbram Saeculi. The effects, however pleasurable at first, will never wear off. I knew that our scientists now are trying to find a way to negate that negative effect, but so far, they've been having no luck whatsoever.

The genii Obscuri scientists that made the pill were just too smart to have their work unraveled by today's Obscuri. Therefore, the pill remains permanent. Because the Umbra Lux's effects are permanent, you must have special permission from the Obscurus King to take it. You must be brave of heart to be able to never come back to your home. This is why only a few Obscuri have ever taken the pill.

However I had decided to take it. I needed to in order to save Credence from himself. His magical powers were only going to grow larger, and I was only going to worry more. It would do us both a favor to be near each other. I could maybe find a way to restrain Credence's powers. I would have to sneak into the Hospital Ward however in order to grab the pills.

Still I wasn't sure. I wasn't quite sure if the risk was worth the payoff. I didn't know if I would even be able to save Credence, or even be able to stop his power from growing. This might all be for nothing. However, it would be worth the risk if Credence would be able to be saved.

Finally I decided. I was going to the Otherside. I would save Credence and I would also maybe even be able to make an imprint on the world. However, before I could even think about Otherside, I would have to have a plan to get pills. I sat down to think.

Suddenly I got up I couldn't stay here anymore. This was to the Hospital Ward for comfort. I flew back to my Shadowmaker Watcher, and sat down in the soft sand that was commonplace in Umbram Saeculi. This is the part where I had to think; and carefully too. I couldn't afford to mess up now.

If I messed up, then all that this plan was for wouldn't come to fruit and I wouldn't be able to save Credence from himself. Suddenly, a real plan popped into my head. I would go into the Hospital Ward the next morning, faking being in pain. I would be able to get to the Medicine Cabinets and steal one of the Umbra Lux pills. Then, I would take it and somehow get to the Portal and go to the Otherside.

Despite not really being a plan, it was a start. I smiled softly, quite satisfied with my process of thoughts. At last, I could allow my tired and still slightly battered body to rest.

ooOO00OOoo

The next day, I actually didn't need to fake being in pain. Nope, not at all, that part was taken care of. I was for real, in pain, again. My injuries throbbed under the bandages and I nearly fell over a few times on my way to the Hospital Ward. A few Obscuri eventually took pity on me and helped me along the way.

Finally, I hit the doors of the Hospital Ward and collapsed. Damn this pain, it was starting to make everything go blurry. I forced my eyes open a little more. I would NOT be blacking out and wasting my only chance to get to the Umbra Lux pills.

An Obscurus nurse came gliding in and escorted me to a room. I laid down on the bed, relaxing in the comfort that the sheets provided to my aching wounds. Finally, a doctor came in and I let him take another peek at my wounds.

"How do you feel? Is there any serious areas of pain, especially in your stomach or sides?"

I nodded my head for yes. The places that I had taken hits in from the previous night were no apparently oozing some kind of strange liquid. It was light blue and it sure didn't smell very nice.

"I am going to examine the affected areas more closely. Please indicate in some way if I hit a particularly painful area."

The doctor started to run a small tendril of inky darkness over my sides and stomach. As he approached my left side, I put the first step of my plan into action. I gasped, loudly.

"There?" the doctor asked me.

I nodded again. It didn't actually hurt that much, but acting was required of me at this stage. "Like it's on fire," I muttered.

The doctor nodded. "We have several treatments for that. Would you like a long-time treatment plan, or would you just like to opt with the temporary pills?"

"I'll go with the pills," I replied. As soon as this doctor left, I would get out of this bed and shoot down the hall towards that Vault. The Vault was basically what humans would call a "bank" for the most precious things of Umbram Saeculi. Yes, it was guarded by security, but by the time that I got to the Portal, it wouldn't matter if they saw me.

I'd be too far away by that time for anybody to do anything. The doctor broke me out of my little "impromptu-planning session".

"I'll go get the medication for you now. Please remain in bed. I apologize in advance, but we'll need to keep you here overnight."

"No problem. Now, please go, the pain is getting worse."

The doctor nodded respectfully and left. I practically vaulted out of the nice, warm, comfy bed and shot down the hall. My injuries still hurt, but they were being dulled right now, probably be adrenaline.

I turned a few corners, dodged a couple of rather surprised Obscuri and finally arrived at my ultimate destination. The Vault. It was kind of imposing, the front was purified Cleptes (thief) stone.

I shot a small test-flash of lightning at the door, just to see if it would break. It didn't; I should have expected that. But, I didn't have time to waste. I glided straight up to the door and blasted it with all of my electricity.

Thankfully, the door opened, as I was pretty drained. I stumbled in and I grabbed the Umbra Lux pills. As I attempted to get out of the Vault, alarms started to blare. My headache only increased, and I knew that I had to get out of there.

I ran about for a few minutes, miraculously finding the Hospital Ward's exit. I shot straight for the Portal, downing a pill as I ran. The guards in the Portal Guardhouse startled as I went past, and they joined the chase as well. It was all coming down to whether I could make it to the Portal before they caught me.

I was only about ten meters away when the adrenaline started to wear off and the pain from my injuries started to come back. My headache flared again and I stumbled. The Obscuri chasing me started to gain ground.

Now, I was only about 2 meters away. I made a huge leap into the Portal, and my world went white. Behind me, I could feel the Umbram Saeculi shake with the power of Wallerment, the Obscurus King's, rage.

Author Note: Yay, we can finally start to dive into the adventures in the real world with Credence. From now on, there's going to be much better coverage of his early childhood. Oh God, do I have HUGE plans for this story.
