When Eleta had first stepped foot into the Darkness Realm, there was only one thing on her mind. The mission. Her mission was given to her by Darius Blackridge to retrieve the Prisoner known as Shadow. Set him free and bring him back to Darius, himself. There was never any doubt that this would be deadly. There was also, never any concern that Eleta would never be the same after such a mission. In that dark place, she had found shadow, and the shadows had found the light that she possessed from within her. It wrapped its deadly grip around her small frame and squeezed the light out of her. She could remember now, small orbs of light that were dispersing from her. Never knowing what was truly happening. For days after, she was weakened, even after leaving the Darkness Realm, it still consumed the light but at a much slower pace. Everyone knows what happens to a half breed such as a Nephilim (Half Demon/Angel) when their light goes out. Their body will die and whatever essence or soul they possess will either ascend or descend in Eleta's case. Depending on what actions she took before the time of death. As Death approached her with an open clawed hand, Eleta felt ready to accept this offer and leave the world she knew behind. There was one, however, that saw Eleta's life as something possibly worth saving. Shadow, had returned and created a seal using his magic. A seal that would create a barrier around the light left within Eleta and even attempt to expand it some from the little orb it was. She was revived after being only seconds from death. To her surprise, she was grateful. And the thought of her dying and leaving behind her daughter, Lili had broken her heart. How could she be so selfish? To want to leave behind her family without even thinking. The pain she had been dealt was becoming more than she could handle which was truly saying something as Eleta was not a fan of weakness. Though she had been revived, a sort of change had been taken into effect. Resting within her chambers upon the very top floor above the Manor, Eleta awakes from a long and much needed slumber. Opening her eyes slowly, she feels herself become into focus again with the objects around her. The room is dark and the moon is full. Visible past the sheer black curtains that are hung around the pillars that serve as the perimeter. There are no windows, there are no real walls. It is an open area. An arena of a sleeping chamber, if you will. The soft faux fur blankets and silky linings caressed her gentle skin. The Egyptian cotton sheets were crisp and not a wrinkle dared wiggle itself into them. Stepping foot from her bed, she looked down at her hands which she noticed were still somewhat pale, a little more than usual. She thought, after being revived by Shadow that her lush light tan tones would come back to her. It seemed this was untrue. She let out a yawn, ignoring the tones of her skin and threw herself back down onto her bed as she wasn't truly ready to get ready for the night. As she did, she felt something hard on the back side of her head. Perhaps she was laying on a hair brush? That was the first thought that came to mind. Her hands had reached up and she felt the smooth, ridged textures of demonic horns protrude the sides of her heads. They curved into a swirl at the ends and they seemed to be adorned with a flower of some sort. The scent resembled that of a rose. "What....?" She gasped to herself, unknowing if she was able to even use Glamour while unconscious. That seems like something one might do in the beginning level of learning how to use such power by mistake, but no. Eleta was very well capable of controlling it, so what was happening now? She stood up quickly from her bed and rushed over to the vanity set that was located to the left of the room. Grabbing a candlestick with three lit candles, Eleta placed it on the vanity desk and leaned in, looking into the mirror. She gasped at what she saw. It was as if she was looking into the eyes of a stranger. The last she remembered, her vibrant red hair had turned into a dark black color and now, long lush strands of pink cascaded down her back and past her shoulders. She grabbed the locks of hair and looked at them as if they were signs of betrayal. Even her eye color had changed. They were usually a soft, emerald green. Just like her mothers. And now they were a sort of bright aqua. But they still seemed kind of dim in a way. Her skin, was smooth like a porcelain doll and even resembled as such. Her skin seemed "kissed". Just barely touched with soft shades of pink around the cheeks. Startled by this new appearance, she scurried back a few steps and managed to knock over the candlestick. Landing on the ground next to the vanity set, a strong breeze of wind had come through and all the candlelight in the room had went out. She gasped at this as she felt something dark and evil was in the room with her. Clenching onto her silky night robes, she covered herself up and wrapped her arms around herself. A sinister giggle had escaped forth and seemed to be surrounding her from every angle as it echoed. She stumbled back a few steps as she was not yet to her full health. She landed on an ottoman placed near the large bed where she slept. The voice cackled again in delight and then its words slithered out into the darkness at Eleta. "You foolish, foolish girl. What have you been thinking?" Eleta looked around but saw no one. The voice she heard, it sounded terribly familiar. She shook her head and responded in calm shouts back to it. "Foolish? I'm foolish? Who are you....and where are you!?" Eleta kept her eyes open and constantly turned her head about, wondering where this being lied. Perhaps it was another shadow demon, caressed into the floors or walls or even possibly in her bed, draped up in her finest of linings. The echoey voice giggled again softly and if it had a face, it seemed like it would be shaking its head in response to Eleta before speaking again. "Foolish girl. I am...You. Surprise....." The voice had giggled again and the Queen thought this to be a joke of some kind. A cruel joke. Perhaps Zaryah had gone mad and was parading about attempting to scare her older sister. Then a moment of silence fell over her and she thought about the way the voice had spoken. It was soft and playful, it held a rough edge at the same time...the voice had seemed familiar to Eleta and she didn't know why. It WAS her. It was her voice that she was hearing, though, it was altered in a way. Darker. Standing up from the ottoman and pacing around the bedroom in small circles, she parted her lips and spoke again to it. "So...You're me. Then why is it, I can hear you...like this? Is this going on inside my head? Or is this really happening?".
"Ahh...Predictable questions, yes they are. I expected nothing more or less from you. It's only a matter of time before you get...feisty! But yes, only You can hear me because I am you. I am the Darker you. The suppressed side of you that has been just clawing to come out. You only show me when you are angry, when you feel vulnerable. When you are even...irritable. Do you know how that makes me feel Queeny? To be locked away and let that 'Light' inside of you roam free! You try to balance us out but there is no balance. There is no...median. There is only Darkness now. Once the darkness had penetrated your being, it unleashed something. It released, me. I would have had you all to myself if that Shadow Lord hadn't created that damn Seal within you!". She could hear the envy in the Demon's voice...her voice. Eleta wanted Death, and it seemed this part of herself was the part that was asking for it. There was still some things that didn't make sense to Eleta, but she was beginning to understand more clearly now. It was piecing together. She kept quiet and listened to this Darker self go on, hoping she would tell more of why she was here. What she had intended to do with Eleta's body and wondering if Eleta would even lose control of herself. It seemed like that was something that was definitely possible, considering the appearance she had Eleta take on without her consent. She looked down at a long, wavy strand of light pink hair and picked it up, feeling the smoothness between her fingers. "Pink...I do think the color looks lovely on us. You never wear any color Queeny! You need to 'Lighten' up. Hahahahha". The voice had giggled so sinisterly and played with her words towards Eleta. She didn't move or say anything, she would let the demon within continue. "Hmmm....That Shadow Lord though... Despite I hate him for creating that Seal within you, he sure does make a yummmmy play...." Eleta had snapped her head up for a quick moment and glared at the nothingness before her as she had interrupted the rest of the Demon's statement and protested. "You will stop right there! Not another word about Lord Shadow." The Demon found this amusing as she giggled hysterically and calmed herself down after a moment as she let out a long sigh. "Aye, you are too protective over everyone. And yet...no on is protective over you. Tell me Queeny, why do you care? Have you completely lost your sense of dignity or are you just blind and dumb? Think my dear! Think!" Eleta grew silent as the words of the demon & herself had corroded her mind. Shaking her head again, Eleta turned her back and went to sit back down on the ottoman. "You're full of deceit. Why should I even listen to you?". The Demon seemed to move closer to Eleta as her voice wasn't so echoey as before but closer, thicker and smoother as she spoke in such a sly manner. "Because I am your truth! I am the one...that will save your foolish heart. Think Queeny... Fenrir..." Eleta had cocked her head up once more to the name of Fenrir and shook her head to the voice. "No. He was insolent. He was...nothing. A stupid lost boy that I couldn't help. He was my....my betrothed. As if I would Ever marry a man like him. What my family was thinking, I have no idea". The demon seemed to be slithering around the room again as her voice seemed somewhat further away now as the conversation let on. "To keep the Nephilim bloodline running. That's what they wanted. And he couldn't stay with you... Predictable. Ahh, but there is...yet Another! Shall I dare speak the name that thrills you so yet puts you to tears every night? Should I be so cruel? I am your truth. What truth would I be if I did not remind you of this detail... Victor!" Eleta's hands had clenched into fists at her sides as she narrowed her eyes and felt a dark swarm of energy levitate around herself. "That is Enough! You dare speak his name once more and I shall End you!" The Demoness found this quite amusing as she rolled around laughing if she could be seen and had a hard time controlling herself at that as she responded to Eleta in broken phrases of laughter. "You can't....You can't kill me! Not without killing yourself! Hahahah Foolish, Foolish girl! Victor Victor Victor!!!" She played with Eleta by speaking his name over and over again just as childhood rivals would tease one another. Eleta had softened her demeanor as she felt a sort of weakness take over and dropped her darkness. She knew the demon/herself was right. She couldn't kill that darkness, not without leaving Lili and Zaryah behind. She clenched her fists more so, digging her sharp pointed nails into the soft flesh of her palms that began to bleed. "Shut it. Vic...Victor will come back to me. He is alive. I know he is. He is not my loved one. He is merely a friend. A friend whom I care dearly about. And if you are my truth, then you already know this". The demon sighed and chuckled slightly to Eleta again. "Ah, yes that may be true but I know your hearts desire. Your intentions. Your...fantasies. You have never been touched." Eleta began to blush slightly and hide under a veil of lush pink hair as the demon continued on. "You may find your head wrapped around the image of Victor however, your heart...has been seemingly distracted by Lord Shadow. Tis why I said he was soooo yummy. And my dear Queeny, that he is! You hold attraction to him. And I do think it is safe to say, he may have the same attraction to you. Perhaps that is why we go into such a state of mind when he looks at us...don't you think?" Eleta continued to blush as she hated being called out on such affairs. It was true though...Shadow was definitely taking her interest and she tried hard to ignore it. She wouldn't let herself fall again. She didn't want to end up lost and alone. She was already alone. And she accepted that. What could Shadow do for her? What could he offer her? These thoughts trickled through her mind before the demon hadn't stayed quiet for much longer and spoke in return. "He gave you life. He even risked his capture to find you...I would say, that is more than Fenrir or Victor has done for you? Yes? Don't look at me like that Queeny! I AM you! Therefore, I can read those horrid little anxieties you have scurrying around in your head-brain! That is the answer to your question. The man can give you life, he can protect you. Does he love you? I only know as much as you do." Eleta let out a long sigh and shook her head. It was too late at night to even be thinking about something like this. There was bigger things at hand. "Enough about all this...love, attraction things. Okay? So...You're me and I am you. You're the...figment of my imagination? So to speak. You're the Darkness within me that grew...I understand now. But why this? Why the change in my appearance? I mean, can I be expecting you to take over my body and mind...and make me do or say things I normally wouldn't?" These are the questions Eleta had been wanting to ask. And if the Demon said to be Eleta's Darkness was in fact just that, then she had been avoiding these questions. "Aye. I knew these questions before you could even waste your breath. But...yes. All in All, yes to everything. That red darling, was NOT working for you. This brings out those pretty lush pink tones in your skin. Your Mine now. So I do with you as I please. The only reason why I haven't completely taken over is because you still have some of that god drenching light inside of you that Shadow was able to seal. Unfortunately, I cannot penetrate it. This will be fun though. Just think of it as...a makeover. A surprise makeover! One day you're pink, the next day you're a fucking rainbow with a unicorn horn!" Eleta gasped and shook her head immediately in protest. "Oh No no no! Fuck this... I'd rather kill us now! You better not dare...." The demon giggled again and had a hard time restraining herself from continuous laughs as she replied. "Oh come on now. Just for fun. Hehehe Queeny... You can't always fight me. Sometimes I will come out when you don't want me too. Now, I can't promise you that I'll always be on my best Behavior. So...you'll just have to, deal with it. Hmmm and you can call me.... Vee".
