The Beginning of a Nightmare 《IC Joining》

Cant archive or exp it yet, one more post from us both.

Slade convinced himself that the woods that he walked through were now his home, as though it were some illusion that his mind had cruely conjured. But it was too real. The fairytail of the dark woods, containing illustrations of monsters and villians, the woods he himself now resided in.
All thanks to that dainty Meldresi he had met, earlier.

He slithered and slipped in and out of the shadows he had now familiarized himself with. He was one of them, and themselves one with him. Slade could only smile at the cold thoughts that seeped in his head from being in such a position.
And he had to assure himself that this was not a dream, a wretched thing with happily ever afters, and gaily ladden bouquets held by fair maidens.
This was his nightmare. His shadow ladled life.
And it was only the beginning.
