Killer invites himself into Nyx’s castle, which would be his first mistake. His second mistake is demanding answers from her. The third mistake is when he threatens her kingdom’s people
He learns very quickly that she can be just as bitter as Nightmare, given the right circumstances, and for the first time in quite a while, she leaves him genuinely terrified
((Slight warning here for some mature subjects being mentioned and death threats, but that’s about it))
Nyx couldn't believe what she was seeing right now.
The bastard knew he wasn't allowed inside her castle, but it seemed that he didn't care. He'd invited himself in, acting like he owned the place, and then he had the audacity to approach her in the throne room. He stared at her with those empty sockets she'd grown to hate, visibly pleased with himself for causing a disturbance and finding her so easily.
Nyx remained where she sat, her violet and grey eye lights locked on him. She scowled, narrowing her sockets and snapping, "Just what in the hell are you doing here, Killer? Did you forget about the rule my father and I set in place for you?" He shook his head, completely casual as he hummed in acknowledgment, "Nah, I didn't forget." Her tone gained a bitter edge as she hissed, "Then why are you here? Last time I checked, I never called for you." He hummed again, drawing closer to her despite her piercing glare, "Well, I thought I'd drop in for a visit. After all, it's been a while since I've seen ya, Nyxie. I was even starting to miss you."
The princess scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest, "Right, I really believe that." He grew closer to her throne and she held a hand up, the silent command registering in his scattered mind. He stopped at the bottom of the steps that led up to her seat and tilted his head, arching a brow bone and grinning slightly to himself, "What's the matter, princess? You know I don't bite... Well, not unless you want me to." Nyx felt her cheekbones heat up the slightest bit and she shot a look of disgust his way, "It's nothing. I just don't want you anywhere near me. If you have any respect for my wishes, you'll leave."
Killer let out a deep sigh, "After all the time we spent together, you still don't know me at all, do you?" As he began to ascend the steps and slowly closed the distance between the two of them, Nyx curled her hands into fists, "Killer, what the fuck do you think you're doing? What part of 'stay the hell away from me' didn't you get?" The male skeleton chuckled in amusement, now almost directly in front of her, "Oh, will you stop it already? You act like I'm gonna hurt you or somethin'." She narrowed her eyes at him again, raising her voice a bit, "How am I supposed to act, then? After you cheated on me with nearly all of your teammates, got 406 pregnant, and then slept with my FATHER?! You're an idiot if you think I actually WANT to see you."
He hummed in consideration, "Well for starters, you could be a little less hostile." Nyx hissed at him, her words laced with venom as she spoke, "Fuck. You." Killer leaned down, his hands gripping the armrests of her throne, "Hmm... That could be arranged, y'know. All you gotta do is ask nicely." Nyx leaned as far back in her seat as possible, trying to keep distance between them as she spat, "You're the most disgusting, ignorant, self-centered man I've ever met." He snorted, clearly amused by her response, "I'll take that as a 'no' then... That's a damn shame." As he began moving even closer to her, she placed a hand over his face and pushed him back, "Tell me why you're here, that way I can get rid of you faster."
A single ringed eye light flickered to life in his left socket and he hummed, grabbing her wrist and peeling her hand away from his face, "It's about my kid... I want you to tell me where they are." Nyx stared at him in disbelief for a moment, yanking her wrist out of his grip, "First of all, they're not YOUR kid. Second, why would I ever tell you their whereabouts? That information is not yours to possess, and because you've been deemed a threat to them by their mother, you're never to see them. Not EVER." Killer rolled his eye light and groaned, "Oh, come on, I can't believe Glitchy would say I'm a danger to our kid like that."
Nyx's stare hardened, "406 had a hand in that decision, yes, but that's not who I was referring to." He arched a brow bone in interest, "I see... So they've been adopted out then. Guess I'll just have to start killing off your people until you tell me who they were sent to." The princess's eyes widened the smallest bit in shock at the threat, "You wouldn't DARE." Killer made a sound in confirmation, firmly gripping her jaw and forcing her to maintain eye contact with him, "Oh, believe me, I would. No one needs to die, though... Just tell me who took my kid in, and I'll be on my way." She was silent for a few seconds before she glowered, her eye lights slowly shifting from violet and grey to a vibrant cyan, "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request."
Killer paused, noticing immediately as her eye lights changed colors. That was new, and he wasn't sure what it meant. He opened his mouth to respond, intent on pushing her until she was forced to comply, but he was interrupted, his body tensing as each of the doors around the throne room slammed shut. There was a loud 'click' signifying that they'd all locked, and he looked around, unsure what was going on. In front of each door was a silhouette, and he took a moment to piece together their identities; The first one had a trident, so it was most definitely Kali. The second silhouette was noticeably smaller, and the only feature he could make out were two glowing, yellow eyes. Judging by the height, that one must've been the imp she'd oh-so-kindly taken in.
The third silhouette was one he didn't recognize. Its height and blocky shape suggested it belonged to a man, and there was the unmistakable shape of a knife in one of its hands. The silhouette in front of the fourth door was featureless and humanoid, and Killer furrowed his brow bones. Nyx continued to stare at him, her gaze turning cold, "Leave, Killer. Surely you're smart enough not to do anything you'll regret." He refused to move, all traces of lightness vanishing from his tone, "Tell me where my kid is. Last chance." She arched a brow bone at him, her expression blank, "Is it really, though?" The shadows behind her began to form a shape, and Killer froze, his sockets widening as it opened a pair of solid white eyes and stared at him. Nyx was entirely unphased as the shadow Papyrus began to approach her throne from behind, and Killer watched him, breathing out, "W-What the hell is that?!" Nyx tilted her head, "Don't be so rude, Killer. Don't you recognize your own brother?"
Killer shook his head and began to back away from her throne, "That ain't him... It ain't real... You're just tryna get into my head, aren't you?!" The princess sighed, a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "Why would I ever do that? There's nothing in there that'd be of any value to me." Once some distance was created between the two of them, Nyx slowly rose from her throne, her cyan eye lights continuing to bore into him. She lifted a hand, signaling for the shadow Papyrus to stop. The being's movement came to a halt and Killer stared at it for a moment before shifting his attention back to the princess. He raised a shaky hand, gesturing to the shadow behind her, "Nyx... Nyxie, please. What the hell is that?! There's no way that's my Papyrus! He's been dead for a long time, and there's no way he should even be here right now!"
Nyx kept her icy gaze fixed on him, her tone even despite all the rage that Killer knew was lurking just beneath the surface, "Is that what you think?" He held a hand out to the princess in a gesture of surrender, taking another step back away from her, "Nyx... Moonbeam, please-" Her perfect composure immediately snapped upon hearing the nickname and she scowled, raising her voice, "Don't you EVER call me that. Never AGAIN. I don't want to constantly be REMINDED of how you lovingly gave MY FATHER the very same name." Killer's body jerked in surprise at the change in her disposition and he swallowed nervously, "Princess... I think you need to take a deep breath, ok? There's no need to get upset. Look, if you don't want me to call you that, I won't."
Her scowl hardened, "I'll do whatever I damn well please. Now, if you value your life, you'll get out of my fucking sight, and you'll never come back." He nodded, "I-I will, promise. Just... My kid. Please. I just wanna know where they are so I can go see 'em. I don't mean nothin' bad by that, I swear." The shadows began to gather on the wall behind Nyx, and as they joined with her own shadow, they began to take four very familiar shapes. Killer's eyes widened as a set of tendrils formed, appearing attached to her shadow. They writhed on the stone wall behind the enraged princess, and she curled her hands into fists. Her magic began to shroud her in darkness, and to add to the effect, she closed her right eye, now staring at Killer with only her left one, which remained a bright cyan.
He was frozen, a look of terror settling on his face as she took a few steps closer to him, her normally smooth tone warbling now as she hissed, "Unless I call for you, you are to stay the hell away from me. For your sake, I hope I never see you again." Killer began backing away from her again, his mouth opening and closing as he desperately searched for an adequate response. As soon as he felt himself back into a wall, he cursed under his breath. Shrinking down the smallest bit, he stared at Nyx with wide eyes. He hadn't told Nightmare or any of his teammates that he planned on going to her castle. None of them knew where he was right now, and he highly doubted anyone would come to his aid if she attacked him.
The princess narrowed her eye at him as he gawked at her, and she growled, "You might be strong, and you might satisfy your numerous partners well enough when they want it, but you're worse than scum. You're an irredeemable piece of shit, and that's all you'll ever be." She placed a hand on the wall next to his head and he attempted to shrink away from her again. Seeing this, she scoffed, "Now, I want you to run away like the coward you are, and never come back. You had better pray that I never see you again, because be it here or anywhere else, I WILL kill you. Am I clear, Killer?" He immediately nodded, "Y-Yes ma'am. Crystal."
She moved her arm, gesturing to the nearest door, "Good. I suggest you leave before I rethink my decision to let you live." Killer nodded again in understanding, his eyes wide. Without another word, he bolted for the door, nearly breaking the knob as he gripped it. Nyx watched as he threw open the door and vanished, and she shifted her gaze to the massive shadow that stood beside her throne. When she spoke, her tone was even, and seemingly void of the rage she'd just been harbouring, "Papyrus." The shadow fixed its glowing white gaze on her, and she lowered hers, keeping it settled on the floor in front of him, "Harm and Discard." She was met with silence, and then in response to the command, the shadow began to move. At first, he took a few slow, deliberate steps toward the now open door, and then he sprung forward. As he flew past the princess and out the door, he produced no sound whatsoever, and Nyx hummed.
Any second now.
Right on cue, Killer let out a pained and startled cry, and she felt the corner of her mouth twitch, almost curling upward into a smirk. Sure, she wanted Killer gone, but the fear he was giving off was incredible. Feeding off the emotions of others wasn't something she liked doing, but right now, she was ready and willing to make an exception.
I just saw someome asling about the serenate so i was wondering how the other (your sans and paps of your au and maybe even cross and horror sans)react if their s/o serenetes then in a really romantic way singing a song (they are good at singing ;3)
(Kinda making up for the ones who weren't on the s/o asks marriage frist:3)
Any of my skelebros you say? :) you have unleashed,,, something. *throws in my shadowtale boys* Also I don’t remember any asks about serenading..? Also I’m going to skip Cross since I,,, don’t really know much about him and I don’t want the creator after my ass ;;
Shadow Sans:
*Shadow is a bit shocked more than anything
*though he really appreciates it
*he does blush a bit and listens
*you pull him into a hug afterwards
*he awkwardly hugs back and kisses your forehead
*you smile sheepishly and look down at him
*”*heh... I love ya too, ya dork.”
Shadow Papyrus:
*is actually quite flustered by your singing
*no one has really sang to him in such a long time
*the last person/monster who sang to him was Sans
*and that was a long time ago
*so hearing you sing to him was definitely something
*he pulled you into a hug and mumbled how much he loved you
Horror Sans:
*hearing you sing to him was something new
*he’s just so used to everyone being afraid of him
*so seeing you do something nice for him... it made him happy for once
*and he adores your singing
*he commented how much he liked hearing you sing once you finished, before telling you that he loved you as well
So… I might start a Shadowtale comic. HOWEVER, it will entirely depend on you! I want you to answer the poll honestly, because a comic is a lot of work and I only want to do it if there are enough people that will actually read it. That’s why I will only draw the comic if I get 50 positive votes (votes for me to do the comic). If I end up doing it, I will close my asks in order to be able to concentrate on the project and I will start after all the asks I have received before are answered (so it might take a week or two before I start). If you want the project to come to life, a reblog would really help! (No pressure tho). I will try to do 1 page every 2 weeks. The image up there will be the cover ^^. Anyway, I think that’s all! Thank you!
(Sorry if my text doesn’t make any sense, my English isn’t perfect 😅. Btw, Shadowtale fanarts are ofc accepted and gladly appreciated as long as you credit me)
If I make a Shadowtale comic, will you read it? (!!Answer honestly please!!)
