open Uprising

[Strong Hooves 289]

Six sighed, "Well it's a long story". He then went on to explain everything, from the legion, to the city, to now, how Shadow had been, what he had done, the death he had caused, even the times he tried to fight his evil side.

(Got to do school)

 

Shadow listened with a open mind, unsure if it was another prank, or the sad truth. It seemed almost impossible, but it was vaguely familiar. "So......I killed all of the ponies then....." He said sadly. He could feel something in his scarf. He decided to put it off for now.

 

Shadow looked at Six trying to think of something to say. Instead something fell out of his scarf, It looked like a picture. It slowly floated to the ground like a leaf. Once it gently hit the ground he looked at it. It was a picture of Rain and him sitting on a bench with smiles. Memories of her began to flood back into his head. He just stared at the picture with a saddened look.

Six saw the picture, feeling a pang of emotion as he did. He looked back at Shadow, his voice was gentle but also unwavering, "She aint with ya no more Shadow. Yer actions drove her away. It was bad enough she was torn between the two of us... she's with me Shadow..."

[Chickey 383]

Shadow looked up to Six. "Well.....that...sucks a lot" he said trying to not sound as sad as he really was. It was more a slap in the face considering that this was the one day he was fully in control, But there was nothing for him to do. Not just ending at Rain, he didn't really have a purpose now. The war had ended a long time ago, so he was no longer needed for that. And considering what Six just said 'Rain' must hate him with a passion.

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Ah really am sorry Sha-... Storm Cloud. Ah really am. We all tried ta help ya... tried ta change ya. At times it seemed you were makin progress, but fer whatever reason, even if Rain was there, ya went back ta evil. Ah realize ya loved her... but even yer attempt at changin didn't work. Every time ya were close ta makin yerself better, ya always went back to what you said as 'what ya do best'. But if ya can keep yer head straight this time, Ahd help ta see to it ya can find a new purpose" said Six, a sad look in his eyes.

 

((night))

[Chickey 383]

(G'night bro)

 

Shadow was at lost of words. "I......understand...." he said. He tried to think of something to retaliate with, but could not really think of anything. Even if he did, what difference would it make. It was unfair, the whole ordeal was unfair. He grabbed to picture and stuffed it back in his scarf.

Six breathed a sad sigh, "Ah really did try ta help ya... back in the city, ah gave her up fer ya, hopin it could help ya stay good..." Six looked to the ground as he waited for a response

[Chickey 383]

Shadow gave a sigh, still trying to hide his mood. "It's just unfair, it was never 'me' Six, it never was. And now when it is, it's too late."

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Ahm sorry fer ya... ah really am... but ah ain't givin her up again. Were engaged and ah don't plan ta change that. Rain ain't the only mare out there... Ahm sure you can find another"

[Chickey 383]

Shadow did not respond, he just sat in thought. Why stay good? It would be so easy, just to be evil. But that's not him, but then again, he is not himself anymore. Why even try anymore? What could he gain?

Six had become unsettled by his silence. "Uhh... Storm?" he said.

*Weiss sat down next to Shadow.*

"I can guess what you are thinking. And what I have to say, is that there may be great pleasure in gaining something you want, but there is even greater pleasure in seeing the happiness of others when you have given them something. To know that they are happy, and that you are the reason that they became happy, is one of the greatest fellings one can have."

*She stood up and began to walk away.*

"I just hope you can learn to comprehend that. If you do, my love for you may return."

*She then flew off, into the clouds.*

[Chickey 383]

(Or not )

 

Shadow looked to Six. "I'll be in Cloudsdale.....if anyone needs me" he said as he started to fly off

 

(Still have to go though)

 

Shadow watched as Weiss flew away, deciding to put off his thoughts for a while.

 

He reached Cloudsdale and walked around, no one really noticed he was too different because of his change in color. He walked up to a cloud house, it was relatively new. He grabbed the key and opened it. The only reason he had the key is because it was a house he bought.

The whole inside looked deserted, as if no one really ever moved in. There was a few pieces of furniture that came with the house. He walked over to a empty picture frame and put the picture he had in his scarf in it. He went and slumped into a couch. This was the only place he had to stay, but simultaneously the one place he did not want to stay at.

 

It was beginning become day, and the sun was shining.

Six posted many guard watches along the edge of the forest to look out for threats, as well as having the Pegasi keep the sky cloud free. Shadow may have been normal now, but he had to be prepared lest he change back. There was also the other vamponies. Six yawned widely, he had returned to his home to grab a picture frame that was on his nightstand to take back to the church. It was a picture of him and Rain, the day he proposed to her. They were both so happy that day, nothing could've taken away their joy. Six went to his sleeping area in the church, falling asleep next to the picture.

[Chickey 383]

Shadow sat on his couch, in his almost empty room, in his mostly empty house. Small memories starting to come back to him even if he wished they would not. Everything started to seem fake as he looked at the picture, nothing seemed right anymore. It was mainly the reason he bought the house as to why he started to hate it.

 

The utterly empty house and the picture of Rain and him, that was probably a fake moment anayways. Was beginning to make him realize how alone he was getting. He had no one to talk to for over 1000 years, and now he was right back to where he was.

 

Shadow could feel his mind fragment into pieces the more he thought of it. Some parts of him wanted to be happy for her. But some parts wanted to get revenge. His right eye turned back to it's inverted state.

Shadow thought of what Weiss said. It did not really comprehend in his head.

 

 

Shadow walked outside, trying to change his eye back and calm himself. He left Cloudsdale and flew to a cloud and laid down.

"Shadow."

*It was Weiss. She had landed on a cloud nexd to the one Shadow was on.*

"Have you thought about what I said."

[Chickey 383]

Shadow tilted his head to the side to see Weiss. "Yes, and it does not really make much sense to my personal situation" he said.

[Apollo 297]

Shadow tilted his head to the side to see Weiss. "Yes, and it does not really make much sense to my personal situation" he said.

 

"It takes time to truly understand. At least, for someone with your mentality. If you want, I could split you. One of light, and one of darkness. Your mind and body would be split, and each side would have clear mind and intentions."

[Chickey 383]

"I really don't know what that means..." he said "Sounds like something that is going to backfire quite bad. But it may be better to give it a shot...."

 

"It takes time to truly understand. At least, for someone with your mentality. If you want, I could split you. One of light, and one of darkness. Your mind and body would be split, and each side would have clear mind and intentions."

 

"Now that i think about it....It does seem fake....Sadly it does....." he said referring to Rain and Him "Tell me, why should I be good when they are part of it. Most parts of me hate them both, so why should I protect them and not destroy them?" he asked referring to Rain and Six.

 

"Have you thought about what i said?"

 

"Why should I want to make them happy?" he asked "Why should I, of all people, why should i want to do anything with them? If anything i should kill them both" he spat out. Something obviously building up in his head. Edited May 5, 2012 by ShadowCloud

"Perhaps you might want to because doing a selfless act would strengthen your good side," Scipio said as emerged from a mirror in the house (sorry, I had too xD).

He hadn't been told where Shadow was or where he lived, but both the symbiote and the fragments of Samael's power were attracted to the strong, negative emotions swarming around Shadow. He was a bit hesitant to go though, since he had heard that Cloudsdale was a town where only the pegasi could roam. However, he he seemed to be able to support himself on the city's "ground" by casting a spell he had learned earlier.

"Stop thinking about what you want Shadow, your selfishness is what indulges your darkness. It feeds it, becoming stronger while your good side becomes weaker."

Scipio waited to see how Shadow would react, not sure whether he should ready himself for a fight against dark Shadow or to reason with the mind of good Shadow...

[Chickey 383]

(Did not see you posted xD)

 

Shadow had left the cloud and walked back to his house to find Scipio. "Then what should I think about?" he asked "How I utterly failed at the one thing that mattered. Or should I think about how Six got everything and I was left with nothing." he asked "Or should I think about all the people I killed?" he turned and started to walk towards chair "What do you think I want Scipio?" he asked

 

Shadow slumped into the chair "I've been alive for a long time friend. And I think my end is coming soon......and what have I got to show for my life?" he asked "I have nothing but a house that only reminds me of another one of my countless failures."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Scipio stood silent as Shadow talked about his past failures and was surprised to feel sympathy for him. Even after his questions, he remained silent, he simply didn't know how to answer. He could feel Shadow's pain building, in the matter of fact, all his negative emotions had become so great that they seemed to be tugging at Scipio's Otherworld powers. They were trying to take a corporeal shape, threatening to cause a shift between the realities.

<It might actually help if I plunge him into his own nightmares to make him come to terms with himself, but Shadow is a difficult case. No telling what would happens if all his darkness were to meet itself in the Otherworld...>

 

"Calm down," he said, trying to ease his emotions...

[Chickey 383]

Shadow let out a sigh. He tried to calm himself. Deciding to ask him one last question. "Why do you think I bought this house?" he asked in a much more calm tone, but his voice still had a hint of sadness in it.

(Sorry, I was playing Rage, and will most likely still be playing after this )

 

Scipio thought about it for awhile, and then decided to answer.

"I've got no idea really, but my best guess is that you bought it so that you could live here with Rain..."

[Chickey 383]

"Yeah that about sums it up. It was before i even came to your dimension" he said "I would of never picked Cloudsdale......It was more of a surprise really. Too bad it was also right when I went insane." he said "To think i was so close.....and just have everything wrecked"

 

It was now the middle of the day.
