She had been happy just days ago, at least she thought it was days.
It was so hard to tell now that it was always dark. Would day ever come?
No, because she had been consumed with her own selfish wants, just like
him. Her purpose in life had been noble enough, she'd wanted to save them.
"And in the process you doomed yourself," the Shadow said.
She'd forgotten he was everywhere, his materialized form was just
that, a materialized form. His connection to the force had created this
other realm from nothing, not from nothing, from her dream, her dream of
a better place for herself and them.
"It was a selfish move," said the Shadow. "You had secured them a
place in your physical realm, yet you insisted on keeping them for yourself.
You used their powers in the force, the fact they'd been inside of you,
as a tool. And now their caretakers have cut you off and in your despair
there was anger and you left the door open for me to take over. Now you
are my prisoner and I have this wonderful world to manipulate and command."
The former queen saw a huge black dragon fly past the window. Only
days ago it had been a beautiful white dove that she flew with them, all
of them. Over crystal blue oceans and tall green trees. Perhaps this world
had been a selfish whim, but she had no idea how powerful the mind could
be. Little had she known something, someone, with more power than she,
was allowing it to be so. She wanted to believe it was just a dream, instead
of a whole other realm. In truth it was a mixture of both, her imagination,
and his power. Her mind had made something more dangerous than everything
in the galaxy in which she had once lived. Now she sat, chained to him,
chained to a life in his service. And in this other realm, where life sat
frozen in time forever, she didn't even have the chance of escaping him
in death. Only they had the key, her children. They had to come, one day
their minds would touch hers again. She created this world and she could
survive it. Someday they would come.
Someday. . . . . . . .
