![]() And a grandmother and grandfather, maybe some aunts and uncles. After all, if Vivian had older sisters, then it followed that she also had a mother and father. It had seemed a reasonable enough question. Once, years ago, Vivian had asked Beldam if the Shadow Sirens had a mother. Vivian found herself staring somewhat morosely at the woman. ![]() She hadn’t felt up to putting on makeup this morning, which meant that the outside world was absolutely forbidden from seeing her face.Īfter a while, one of the children’s mothers emerged from a nearby house and ordered them to quit the racket. Currently, Vivian was hidden from sight within a puddle of darkness. The children giggled and taunted and made the occasional oink at each other (Oinking had become something of an inside joke in Twilight Town). Vivian watched as a group of Twilighter kids scurried past, tossing a worn, Bully-hide kickball beneath the perpetual-evening sky. Maybe a dim recollection of the scowling face of a slightly younger Beldam. She’d gotten all the typical answers: a playground, a smiling mother, a crib… But when Vivian asked the question to herself, the only ever answer was darkness. This was a question Vivian often asked the people of Twilight Town. But could some trace of it still exist… within the palace…? A princess whose name was lost to history, buried beneath the earth. A heroine whose bond with the Shadow Queen was closer than she could’ve ever imagined.Īnd I’m also here to tell you the story of a princess. A heroine who was different from the others. I’m here to tell you the story of one of the heroines who stood against the Shadow Queen. I’m not here today to tell you the story of how the Thousand-Year Door was opened. The demon was sealed away for a thousand years, until she was freed by… Well, you already know that story, don’t you? ![]() ![]() But eventually, as with all villains, the queen’s reign was ended by a group of brave heroes. Through her terrible powers, the Shadow Queen transformed the royal family’s home into the Palace of Shadow. A demon whose name still brings nightmares to the heads of children and adults alike – the Shadow Queen. A demon whose inky blackness could blot out the stars themselves. In but a single night, the town was dragged into the depths of the earth by a terrible demon. You see, this once-prosperous town is remembered now only for its destruction. At first, rumors spread around the cooks, maids, and guards, saying that the king and princess had been overheard having a heated argument.Īnd then… no more rumors spread. What happened next is something that has remained a mystery to this day. It was as if a cloud of gloom had settled over the kingdom. The king grew bitter, while the princess withdrew from the world altogether. After that, the kingdom’s jewel didn’t shine quite so brightly. This family was the jewel of the ancient sea town. It was a massive structure taking up a fourth of the town, and it served as the residence of countless cooks, maids, guards, and, most importantly, the royal family – a king, a queen, and their beloved little princess. Once, long ago, well before it was known as the Palace of Shadow, before even the Mushroom Kingdom claimed Rogueport’s territory for its own, the palace was home to a family of monarchs. This palace has become infamous among the people of Rogueport, but it was not always this way. This story is old and there's a couple things in here I should have approached more delicately.Īhem! Today… I’ll tell you the story of the Palace of Shadow.
