Lost Queen : Kurosia had many strange native species, but as for rare…

The Uka (top) dwelled mostly in caves and dark shadows, which of course, was aplenty on our beautifully evil mountain. However, they had a tendency to prey upon us. Their tails were able to hypnotize us, therefor we hunted them to near extinction. They still dwell in the areas around our city, though rare enough that I’ve never seen one myself. 

Plant wise, the Praying Venus plants were only kept in the castle. There were a few on the mountain but, they were of course rare. We kept them in our gardens to eat any varmints from getting to our plants. Or, we’d offer them as gifts to other villains that pledge themselves. I actually had a few myself, nippy creatures they were. They too used to prey on us, but after one of our Queens killed theirs, they happily offered their services ( moreso to save their own lives but, I digress ).

Lost Queen, I hear that Havok wears a set of Kurosian armour, but what would it have looked like on a actual Kurosian? Your son is bipedal, and is fairly humanoid in his physical build, so I’m kinda curious as to how it would look on an full Kurosian dragon, as well as the standard infantry (or legionaire of whatever you call the average soldier). ME IS INTERESTED. <3

Lost Queen : Every soldier has a unique set of amor usually built from the bones of their own family tree or at least re-worked family armor. A typical grunt’s armor looks like this for the most part. Petrified Darkness gems are carved from the Kurosian’s own darkness aura and set into their armor to help aide them in battle and enforce both their armor’s strength and the strength of their spells. Each Kurosian has a set of battle talons added to their own claws, and knives on their wings.

We had a handful of specialized squadrons, such as the Silverwings, which had armor of just bright Kuronium instead of the darkened like shown above.  The Silverwings had body types more fit for speed, therefor their armor often fit so closely on them they often appeared to have been painted on. We also had Titans, which were the more tank-built Kurosians that focused more on ground combat, and would often have crossbows or even guns attached to their shoulders. 

*ahem* excuse me I’m rambling, but yes this is what our typical grunt soldiers looked like for the most part 😀

You said earlier that there where lots of spirits haunting your city. Could you please tell us about the scariest, most spooky spirit you’ve ever seen? If it’s okay to ask…

Lost Queen : Well, if you reeeeally want to know.

Before Cynder and I had freed the spirits from my castle, we were wondering one of the many vast halls looking for signs of the spirits; usually you hear whispers, or see faint blue spheres of smokey light. We eventually came to a dead end, in which we saw six dark spots on the ground, all in a single file line. We hadn’t yet come across black spots, but the whispers indicated that spirits were about. 

We quickly heard a woman groaning, it was faint, but it drew us closer to the spots. The closure we got, the black spot closest to us started to squirm. Cynder went ahead of me, as she was the one who was skilled enough to successfully aide the spirits into passing on. But the moment she came to stand beside the dark spot, the hall began to smell of ash, and I felt my tail being tugged. It felt like the tug of a child, wanting the attention of it’s mother, so I quickly turned. But of course, I saw nothing.

I turned back to find Cynder floating in the air, her head twisted up and her mouth agape. There was a dark spot right underneath her maw, where the neck and jaw met, and I instantly recognized it as an stake execution. You see, Arkeyains and Apes alike often used to impale Kurosians on stakes by their throats, as it’s the softest parts of our bodies. It was a slow way to die, but of course the Arkeyains and Apes liked that type of execution. Cynder wasn’t impaled but by the way she hung in the air mimicked that of what I saw during Kurosia’s fall.

I quickly ran to her, but before I could get her down all six black spots shot into the air and, like Cynder, hung like caught fish. They flailed, wailed in gurgled voices, until my ears felt like they would burst. I did my best to ignore the screams to get my daughter down. The moment I touched her, I somehow opened my eyes and found myself in the kitchen, pouring Cynder a cup of tea.

She seemed just as shocked as I was to see each other, so much so I dropped the tea kettle. We were alerted to Glumshanks, who apparently had been standing just outside the kitchen, watching us.

He explained that we had been missing for well over two weeks, and he just so happened to walk into the kitchen to see the two of us sitting and speaking in Kurosian. While that is normal for me, Cynder had yet to learn our language. 

We’ve never been able to re-find that hallway to cleanse it. I’m not sure if that’s the ‘creepiest’ story I have, but it’s definitely one of the most unnerving.
