I am loyal-to Shad.
He showed me how to use my power,how I could take revenge.
He helped me kill,for Shad's sake I'd do anything... ❤️
What happened to the village of my birthplace wasn't my fault.

My own parents gave up on me,I wasn't their shining golden son.
No I was Gene who deserved to die.
And that made me angry.

But I came back and made them forget about their other son,Dante.
HAHA HA HA!!!
Dante is married now to some stupid pink cat girl.
Apparently he cheated on her and has two kids-one girl and a boy.
Shame on Him.

"Kwawii~Chan is so proud of Neokette~San and Dimitri~Kun..they are going to be amazing guards,Kwawii~Chan just knows it!!"

As if I care.
I stopped caring a long time ago-when I died.
But Shad was always really nice to me..♥️

But now Shad is putting the blame on me.😔
Me for not grabbing Alina instead..How was I supposed to have known that to kill Irene you needed Shad's relic?
If only Shad had helped me...I should have known.
Shad is usually right about everything...♥️

"Sir?Gene,Sir?"A Nether guard says,
"Well?"
"Our Mighty and Dark Ruler,Shad,said to tell you that the attack on the Yaggrasil forest went well,the elves were ether captured or driven back into the trees.All buildings not intact,Sir."
"Good"
"We have a prisoner-Zoey,Sir,she says she knows you."
"........"
"Do you wish to talk to her,Sir?"
"......yes"

I don't know no Zoey but I know Irene...
Oh Darkness this isn't gonna be good..

A girl/woman/elf/thing has her hands tied behind her,her normal white blonde hair is muddy and smelling of fire.
I don't think she likes her cell...

"Heyyyyy...Shad."Zoey speaks,her words dripping with hatred.
"So do I know you??"I ask.
"Nope."
"Oh"
"But do you have Aphmau?"
"What's it to you?"
"She's my friend"
"So what?"
"Is....She.....Here?"
"Aphmau,No.But Irene-"

"SIR GENEEEEE GEEEEENE"A Shadow Knight Guard yells for me.
"SIR GENNEEEY THERE IS A,UH,PROBLEM WITH THR CELLLS,IREEWENNEEE,SIR GENNEEY"He shouts.
"Yes is it from Shad..♥️??"
"NO"
"OHHH-Kkkaaayy...."
"FOLLOW THE NETHERBRUCK ROADDDD!!"

===^^Wizard of Oz reference^^===

So I follow the NETHERBRUCK ROAD until Irene's cell.
I don't like Irene...she upset Shad...
Nasty immortal being.
I look into the cell,and see her and someone else.

Weird as Dante's obsession with cheating on his wife and his girlfriend.

===Weird Obsession-Dante....😏===

I tell the guards to get Irene and whoever else is in the cell to get out,because I feel like being mean to make Shad (♥️) happy..

"Come into the light.."Shouts a guard,slamming his red iron sword against the metal door of the cell.

//FLASHBACK//
//A meadow near Gene and Dante's old village//
"Come into the light Sir Gene!!"
"It's so....beautiful and warm"
She,the lord's daughter,is skipping around a flower filled meadow,basking in this world's light.
I have sworn to protect her,from danger and,I guess now myself,I like her,more than a Protecter/Protectee relationship.
I want more.
What Gene wants Gene gets...
"Sir Gene...The light it's magical.."She says with a expression of awe on her face.
"Coming my Lady (♥️)....."

==Well I decided to draw it, still need to draw the Lord's daughter,Gene ended up having fangs..😈==

Her....I-I loved her.....
But she didn't l-love me..
Broken,Magical Gene.
But I have Shad...♥️

"Sir?"
I shush the guard with my hand on his helmet telling him to shut up.
I recognise Irene,looking terrible, and Shad's  great great great great great great grandson who isn't nearly as hot as his great great great great great great  grandfather.
His (Shad's great great great great great great grandson) name is something like Aragog?
Arrow?
Athena?
Ahrohun?
Aarmau?
Aa-ron?
Aaron?

It was a bit like the name Irene's using now.
Aphoo?
Aphmoo?
Achoo?
Appmau?
Afmao?
Aphmau?

Yeah Afmao and Ahrohun...
(I think)
I'll just call them Irene and nameless Shad desendant..

Well Irene is a snivelling wreck and Nameless Shad desendant is being all touchy-feely.....(hugging her)
Oh Shad...♥️
I want to hug you..♥️♥️

But Irene looks at me.
"Gene...."
She's doing some weird kind of emotion...pity?
"This,this,"she spreads her arms out like a fan,indicating everything "Is not worth living for,you had a family Gene,people loved you,what happened?"

She probably knows what happened,what I did,what Dante did,how I died,and my revenge,Dante probably told her and it's his story as much as mine to tell.
But they don't know my reasons why.
Why I died.
Why I am here now.
Why the darkness calls out to me in this way.

"No it's gone now,it's never going to come back..and I have to live with that."I say,turning not just my back on Irene and Nameless Shad descendant,I turn my back on something I thought I lost a long time ago.
Hope.
I turn my back on a chance for a new life,the hope for that disappears.
Who knows what I could have had.
A family of my own,parents who still remembered,a brother called Dante who didn't hate me..

But this is a result of my choices,my decisions and therefore I must live with it.
This is my life,I am Gene-Proud to serve Shad the Destroyer.

==Later!!Gene is going to the rebel headquarters to argue wth Laurance!!==

"Gene....hissssssss."
Everything is covered in army camouflage.
The rebel headquarters are literally,a cave in the nether covered in army camouflage,with tents made out of sticks,and everyone has a unshaven beard.
Literally everyone....

I turn my head to the man who stands before me, his brown caramel coloured hair has a camouflage bandana around his head.He is wearing a camouflage vest with a tatty old brown jacket.He has a unshaven beard.

He looks like a try-too-hard-rebel.He looks like Laurance.

I wonder how her got all that camouflage and the wood, probably a illegal smuggling ring.Yea,that sounds logical after all this is a revolution lead by Laurance and Vylad who is one of Irene's guard's brothers.

"Hello,to you as well."I say softly, trying to be creepy-don't-mess-with-me-Gene.Laurance seems unfazed and takes a drink of his vodka from the bottle.

"I want to speak to you, seriously no fighting."He says still licking his lips and drinks more vodka.I agree to his demands.We go to a cave which is pretty much just a hole in the Nether's blood red cliffside filled with camouflage material and alcohol.

This is why I don't do revolutions.

"Gene,we don't get along,we are on two different sides-you worship the Shadow Lord I prefer to see him dead.What I am to tell you isn't about the Nether-its about the Overworld, its something you should know, it affects all of us.One of my defenders against the darkness of Shad the nasty immortal beinggg,befriended a dying elf who had the gift of prophecy,she took it upon herself to warn everyone she could about what I am about to tell you."

All of us.Not just the lucky brats living up there,us too living in what some might call Hell,to be fair it does look like Hell and its got the creepy demonic solider vibe too.But a dying Elf warning Laurance's rebellion group, and as many people as she was able to must be serious.

Seriously committed about spearing the word.

"Tell me then."I tell the revolutionary drinking his third bottle of vodka, since we have got to this Lauranc-y talk to Gene-y hole in the cliffside.My Dark Immortal Irene's Ex Realm-Breaking Badass Shadow Lord,that guy has a high alcohol tolerance.

"A War is going to be triggered in the Overworld,the barriers of our Realm and the Overworld's will collide,the barriers are there for a reason,to stop Wars that will tear our worlds apart.Shad isn't the only Realm Breaker,there is another one in the Overworld, they will tear our world's barriers apart,sending us crashing into the Overworld.We can't stop it, we can only play our part in this.We both aren't like other Shadow Knights I need to ask you something, for us,it won't be about the Shadow Revolution or you and Shad,its to ensure that we will be standing the it's over.We will still be on this Earth when it ends, we won't be the fallen again."Laurance said, looking me straight in the eye daring me to disagree.

I don't when he tells me our proposed agreement, I don't want to be gone by the time this Realm-Breaking conflict is over.Even if it means going against what I have built up for myself ever since I was reborn, going against Shad.This is my life, I got a second chance at living and I am not letting that go to waste, I was meant to play a larger role in this power play of worlds.

I intend to play this game of Realms,and I intend to survive.
