...The shadow realm...

It is a realm which brighten through moonlight and lives in the darkness of shadow and spirit. The shadow realm is a mirror of the physical or real human world. The realm doesn't brighten by sunlight, rather they glistened by moonlight. The realm is surrounded by mountains on either side, by a cliff and river Styx which parts them from underworld realm in front and with a deep abandoned forest of immortal hunter in the back.

While in the End of the shadow realm resides the palace of shadow realm which is neither so flashy or bright like sky and celestial realm nor so pitch dark like underworld, the palace was brightened through moonlight and the darkness of the shadow was embracing the palace to maintain the harmonical balance between the light and shadow. And in rear side of the palace runs a river which separate the palace and town from the forest at the back of the realm.

And in the palace lives the Princess of shadow realm, Nyx the most beautiful and intelligent woman with ancient magical power, which made everyone envious of her, she is a scholar with an ancient power which were once possessed by First queen of shadow realm. She was adorned and admired by many but still she stays calm, cold, distant and rules the night with her powers and brain. The Princess is not only a woman with a brain who just roam simply flexing her powers and intelligence rather she always had a interest and hobby of inventing or exploring new things, she is always curious of mysterious things and wanted to explore them by herself.

...Introduction...

The shadow realm

When the god created the physical world (earth) the realms were separated, and they thought there is only three realms which is sky and celestial realm of gods, Physical world or human realm and at last underworld realm of devils and demons. But they all forgot to notice the realm which was created in between the underworld and physical world which was fully embraced by shadow and lived in the shadow of these two realms, the shadow realm is a mirrored shadow of both the underworld and physical world.

Shadow realm was formerly Ruled by their first king and queen of shadow realm the legend couple of the realm Erebus and Nyx. They both stood stronger together and made every realm acknowledge their realm. Now it was ruled by the king Xibalba and queen La Muerte, and they have a daughter who was named after their first queen, Princess Nyx.

Princess Nyx

She was called as goddess of night. Nyx is always calm, cold and distant with others. She rarely comes out her chamber in her true form. She is the most beautiful women of shadow realm, she is the beauty of night which shines under the moonlight. Furthermore, she is only scholar of the shadow realm with intelligent brain and ancient powers which was once possessed by their former queen Nyx. Due to her outstanding qualities' people always envied her. But still there are some people who admired and took her head inspiration. She was adorned and pampered by her parent that they never said no to her. She has a hobby of exploring mysterious and always wanted to experience them by her self. Not only that, but she never believed nor showed any emotion to other than her calm face. Likewise, she only showed her true emotions and true self her pet animal a nine tailed black fox, his name is Roxa. And also there is Tartarus, he is not actually her friend he made himself as her friend. Sees tartarus as a sibling who annoys each other.

Roxa

Roxa is a black nine tailed fox. He can shapeshift and only can be able to speak to his spiritual master, which is Nyx. Roxa had a secret even Nyx don't about it.

Erebus

Erebus is a god of darkness, he is a immortal hunter who was hidden deep inside the darkness of abandoned forest. He is tall, handsome man, with spooky aura around him when he gets angry. He looks like a regal man in a moonlight and looks like a monster of darkness in a pitch dark night. Erebus is not someone who yells and get angry easily rather he is a man of patience and whispers just like a dark night's wind with a straight forward personality. No one can decide whether he is good or evil just with his face.

Tartarus

Tartarus is a god of Abyss. While Nyx and Erebus rules night and darkness, he rules the deep bottomless chasm. He lives in the deep chasm of Styx river which runs between the cliff of shadow realm and underworld realm. He has a hobby of following Nyx around and annoying her. He himself made him her friend and never let anyone near her. So possessive of Nyx and hopes to make her his partner someday. Love her endlessly like his abyss. He is always irritated of Roxa as Nyx is so close him (Roxa). He is opposite of Erebus, Tartarus never hides his anger or emotions under calm and patience face rather he yells loudly and gets triggered or angered easily. Not only that, but he is someone who regrets after his action due to anger.

...The palace of shadow realm...

The darkness of the night was embracing the palace make it more dangerous and ethereal, inside the west chamber Princess Nyx was half laying on her stomach with Roxa beside. She was overlooking the forest behind their with curious eyes and absent-mindedly caressing Roxa's fur.

Roxa : Princess Nyx, what are you thinking so seriously (Look at her with confused gaze).

Nyx slowly sit up on her bed with crossed legs and laying Roxa between her legs still looking at the forest and caressing his fur.

Nyx : Roxa, what do you think about that forest? Whenever I look at forest I always feel like there is something waiting for me like more mysterious thing that wants me to explore it. Do you think there really something like it?(Look down at Roxa)

At the question Roxa's eyes slightly flickered just a moment which was unnoticeable.

Roxa: I don't know Princess maybe we can just explore it if you want.(said slight manipulative tone like luring Nyx towards the forest).

Nyx look at Roxa and again look at the forest hearing Roxa doesn't have a answer the curiosity inside her grown more to find it and explore it. While she was gazing at the forest a small light was sparked deep inside the forest which completely boost up Nyx'd curiosity.

Nyx : Roxa, look over there, something sparkling deep inside the forest. (said while crawling towards the window)

Roxa : Damn, now I, myself feels like to go there and explore that mystery (Said with sparkling eyes with manipulative glints in his voice)

Nyx : Then, what are we waiting for? Let's just explore it Roxa.(said while standing up from her and walking towards her wardrobe ti change her night dress).

Nyx changed into long black gown and black robe with hoodie over her dress. After changing her dress she sneakily went to the river behind there palace with Roxa.

Nyx : Roxa how do you think we are going to cross this river? (Look at Roxa with confused gaze).

Roxa : Don't worry Princess i will help you. 😌

Saying that Roxa did some magic and opened a magical portal.

Nyx: Wow!!! You really have some good skills Roxa (Look at Roxa with amused face and pat his head.)

Roxa: (shyly lower his head and smile.) thank you, Princess.

After that Roxa and Nyx Passed through the portal and reached the entrance of the forest.

Nyx: This forest is so darker than out moonless night sky. (Look at the forest with curiosity).

Roxa: Let's go further princess.



They started to walk deeper into the forest, as started to walk reached the forest started to lit by moonlight, as Nyx is goddess of night the moon follows her. And after few minutes of walking the reached the center of the forest. There they saw man's silhouette which way more darker than the forest they saw at the entrance.

Nyx: Roxa look over there, there is someone here.(nudge Roxa to look at that man's silhouette).

Roxa saw him walking further.

Roxa: Princess let's follow him. Maybe we may discover where the light came from.

They followed the man silently a reached a place where there were stairs going up towards a cave.

Roxa: princess do you still think that we should follow that man? (Look at Nyx with scared eyes).

Nyx: If you are scared then stay here Roxa I will be after seeing what is inside.

Saying that Nyx climbed the stairs & She go inside the cave.

When she entered the cave, she saw the man was fainted near a shining Shard.

Nyx: (goes near the man & pat his cheeks to wake him up.)
