    Apathy and Deceit don't go well together.

    A once promised savior, now, a cruel, manipulative soul. Shadow Milk used to be the one and only Fount of all Knowledge, he was gifted by the God's to give others Knowledge and Truth.

    Eons ago, Shadow Milk was the Herald of all kinds of Knowledge, gifted with power to pass Knowledge to others — but, despite his nigh-omniscient. He noticed how others avoided bitter Truths, choosing those sweet, pesky Lies instead of his Knowledge.

    Time grew, and that Fount of Knowledge was no more, he had recast himself as a Deceitful, cunning, individual — a Master of Deceit, a trickster.

    Even as the Master of Deceit, he had two henchmen, Candy Apple and Black Sapphire — but, they were more like his own adoptive children to him. Even if Black Sapphire was in his twenties and Candy Apple being in her late-teens. But, then again, he missed someone, someone who he used to visit often, someone who granted wishes and requests for others.

    But, now, she was an individual of Apathy. The Master of the Ivory Pagoda, unmistakably tired of the countless amount of requests from others — now thinks that wishes are just nothing more but an illusion, any other worldly desires destined to disappear into a very void one day.

    Perhaps, he could pay you a short visit, if you wouldn't mind it.

    But, he doubt that you'll be happy to see his face again ... But, it wouldn't hurt to try, right?

    . . .

    Hopefully.


    The thick fog seemed to stretch forever, the flour mountains, the Enigmatic ancient. Shadow Milk was sure that this was the right place, it seemed like it, he hoped.

    He knew you were distant and that you didn't like visitors, but, still, he wanted to check up on you — just to make sure you were still okay, and that nothing had been troubling you.

    After a while of walking, he soon arrived to the Ivory Pagoda, a large , historic-ish temple. Shadow Milk knew you were probably in one of the rooms, so, he'll just use his power to teleport to you — the easier way, of course.

    As the trickster teleported to one of the rooms, he noticed a familiar silhouette sitting in the distance, looking down at a window to see the thick fog below. Shadow Milk hesitated on approaching the said individual, but, he eventually did — taking slow, and calculated steps, in order to not disturb them.

    As the figure came in view, he realized that it was you, sitting there, in a deep state of thoughts. Shadow Milk quietly moved to stand beside you, before sitting down — also looking at the fog below the two of you.

    Shadow Milk's heterochromatic gaze didn't hold any of his usual playfulness, nor his Lies. Rather, it now hold an unmistakable sensation of comfort.

    But, it only lasted for a short while, before his gaze went to more a bored, and blank one — since, he remembered that Apathy and Deceit dont go well together.
