The Family that Fights One Another Will Die by the Other (Full Story)

Let me tell you a story of a kingdom that not too many
people know about, called the kingdom of Auroras. This kingdom had a king and
queen who had three children. Each was a different age.  Arora was 16, Spite 15, and Dusk was 12 years
old. Spite and Arora fought to see who got to rule, while Dusk left due to
being cursed at birth by a rival kingdom to be a hybrid. A hybrid is a
combination of 2-4 animals and sometimes humans and insects/arachnids. No one
knows what Dusk did when he left, but he did seem to know more about hybrids
and how they were wiped out due to a genocide as a result of wizards “doing a
good thing”. Wizards kill hybrids because they thought that hybrids were too dangerous
to be close to, so they attacked the hybrids. The wizards won the war and took
the hybrid’s souls when they killed them so they could not enter the afterlife.

Spite and Arora decided to have a little competition to see
who could find Dusk first and the winner got to rule. Dusk is getting ingredients
to heal an infected wound on someone who had gotten lost off a trail in the
Shadowlands.  While lost, this person got
bitten by a venous fly trap. The Shadowlands is a place where the sun is blocked
out by the trees making it a bit tricky to see without a light source, so it
makes sense that the injured person got lost. Spite walks right pass Dusk,
because he is camouflaged in the scenery. Arora is looking at some of the
Shadowlands’ flora. She falls asleep due to the flower’s pollen making humans
sleepy. Dusk sees Arora knocked out and counteracts the effect of the pollen
with a fowl smelling herb, thus wakening her up. Arora is confused on how such
a friendly looking flower could do that. She then looks up and stares at Dusk,
who is confused why someone like her is in the Shadowlands.

Arora sees that Dusk’s eyes were mostly hidden by the
cloak’s cowl. Arora’s facial expression reveals to Dusk that her and Spite are
having some sort of competition that has to do with him. Dusk feels like he
should try to find a way to prevent his siblings annoying rivalry*.* Spite retraces the path he took and
spots Dusk or someone who looked a lot like Dusk. Spite gets closer to Dusk,
yet sees that Arora has already found Dusk.
Spite realizes that this means that the kingdoms will be ruled by Arora.
Spite out of rage kills Arora right in front Dusk, who seemed to have ran with
great fright since he just saw someone die over a title. This might have been a
good reason Dusk left the kingdom and felt guilty for Arora’s death. Spite is
now kind of regretting his actions a tiny bit, but his feelings are mixed with
the joy of victory. Meanwhile, Dusk had gone out of site hoping that he hadn’t
been hunted down like an abstract piece of art in a gallery of realistic
paintings.

I remember it was hard for Spite to find Dusk again due to
the plant and animal life being chaotically dangerous for Spite’s armies to
search the Shadowlands without receiving scratch or bite marks from the animals
or plant life. I don’t know how Dusk disappeared like he didn’t exist, but
there were not much info about hybrids and what they could do. Once Spite found
Dusk he cornered him, although it seemed like Dusk might have known Spite was
following his tracks and was leading him to something. Spite had finally caught
Dusk and made it to where Dusk couldn’t escape, like a bird with a broken wing
trapped in a cage. I saw how Spite looked at Dusk, like he was the reason Arora
died. Spite saw the village that Arora ruled didn’t respect him, so he
destroyed it not knowing that some survived. The survivors were going to start
a revolution against him and he did not know he made a dangerous enemy who is
Blaze. Spite is trying to read Dusk’s expression, which showed a bit of concern
for what is coming. The revolution was going through the Shadowlands and saw
the critters were a bit more hostile to Spite’s soldiers, so, they could help
the revolution take Spite down. One of Spite’s generals told Spite about the
revolution getting closer, so Spite dismissed the general. Then he pulled Dusk
into an escape route, took out a dagger and stabbed Dusk ten times in the chest.
Then the revolution had gotten to the throne room and saw Spite with a smug
look as he drew a sword, taking out some of them. Spite died due to being outnumbered,
while Dusk saw this as he took his last breath. Spite’s soul went to the
netherworld (aka hell), while Dusk’s soul went somewhere I can’t reach. That is
how it happened my friend. Is this the End *or*
is it just the beginning?

I felt Dusk didn’t really leave this world. What I didn’t know was that the goddess of reincarnation was watching what had happened and
knew Dusk was needed on this world to protect the plants and animals in the
Shadowlands. Arora, the goddess of reincarnation made a deal with Dusk to bring
him back if he would be the protector of the Shadowlands. Dusk felt he had
unresolved issues in this world so he agreed to this deal with Arora. He had
always been protective of every living thing in the Shadowlands. Dusk used his
invisibility to disappear from sight. I never saw him again but felt his
presence when I walked through the Shadowlands. [1]
