Description
Another explosion rattled the earth, aiding in the collapse of several more buildings in its wake. Fires consumed the rubble, and the mass of bodies scattered beneath the ruin.

So great was the devastation. One couldn't easily believe that it was caused by only two destructive souls, inciting this deadly catastrophe out of the sole desire to taste blood.

The Megalomaniac and the deadly Queen of Spades.

UnDark rose up slowly, taking a moment to lick some blood from his fingertips. His menacing green eyes locked on a shadow cast by a crumbled building. A corpse or two were littered near it, but they were not what drew his focus. As the fire danced along the ground, flickering about, it cast its light on the tip of a boot.

Someone was still alive in this ruin.

His ears twitched as a silent hiss rose above the hum and crackle of the burning rubble. Almost completely silent, but forewarning of danger, like one coming from a snake hidden in the tall grass. He licked his lips, breathing each breath slowly, as if savoring them. He studied that shadow for ages, waiting for it to give up its secret, the identity of the person it hid.

Several moments passed. He realized that this intruder would not give themselves up. Eager to return to enjoying his victory he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. "I know you're there," he said at last, his voice laced with apathy, without the smallest glint of fear.

The tip of the boot moved only a little, that same hissing sound barely creeping across the night air. UnDark began to wonder if the person would ever give themselves up, and had almost decided to go and kill whoever this was. Before he could make a move, the owner of the boot, and the hissing sound, hiding in the shadow, stepped out, illuminated by the fires burning around them.

A white echidna with flowing hair down past her hips, purple hair in feathered locks on either side of her head, purple bangs all but covering her right eye, dressed in black and mauve, walked out with her arms crossed. Her wine colored eyes met his, hers glazed over with boredom. At her sides were two small creatures, which looked like floating demonic things.

UnDark's eyebrows lifted. How she had survived his attack on this place he had no clue, but he wasn't ready to welcome an intruder. He smirked, putting his hands to his hips, leering at her. "Listen sweetface, this is my kill. You can go find your own somewhere else. Get lost."

The fact that he was letting her go so easily seemed to not make any bit of difference to the girl. Instead, she rolled her eyes, taking a few slow steps towards him. "Your kill? Hmm, that's strange," she paused, lifting her fingers to her lips, licking the tips, which were stained with blood. "And here I thought I had murdered at least twenty. Oh but I suppose that makes them yours just because you knocked down their buildings and set them on fire. Oh you big strong maniac you." She rolled her eyes.

This retort produced hisses that sounded like laughter from both of her companions, whereas UnDark twitched a bit, glaring at her. Balling up his fists, he growled and spat, "I'll have you know I did a hell of a lot more than knock down buildings you rotten little--!!"

"Tsk tsk," she replied, waving her finger. "Aww," she added with a smirk, "The big bad man is upset. What's the matter, did I hurt your feelings sweetface? Pfftt..." She rolled her eyes again, glaring at him as she crossed her arms. "Pathetic. I came here thinking I'd find some powerful maniac, but all I found is a weak little boy throwing a temper tantrum."

"Temper tantrum my ass!" UnDark snarled, "You've got a lot of nerve coming here talking like that! Do you have any idea who I am?"

Without even looking at him, the girl sighed with disinterest. Examining her fingertips, she replied, "Weak little boy, pathetic, sweetface." She glanced at him. "Yeah I already know, which of those is your favorite?"

UnDark snarled, immediately running for her. The girl didn't move until the last possible moment, summoning the two creatures with her, using them to counter an attack from UnDark, knocking him back. Undeterred, he immediately sprung back, knocking her into burning rubble, from which she emerged within seconds, launching another attack.

Each attack thrown was either deflected or taken, and once taken it served to do very little to stop them. They raced about the burning ruins and corpses, shooting attack after attack, trying in vain to stop each other. Though the girl seemed bored at first, as the fight went on, she began to work harder as she fought, her attention being piqued. UnDark fought with such anger and ferocity from beginning to end, and yet even he had to take notice of her skill, wondering how she could manage to keep coming back time and time again.

Their fight caused the burning rubble to get blasted into even smaller piles, and as the fires began to die down a little, they landed near where they had first met, only stopping because by chance both had decided now was a good time to catch their breath. They eyed each other warily, panting, waiting for the other to make a move. Both remained still.

After several moments as UnDark caught his breath, he wiped his mouth with his arm, putting his hands on his hips. He was confused, and curious, but tried to look as unfazed as possible. "Is that all?"

The girl panted a bit more before sneering at his words. "I could kill you right now if I wanted to, jackass."

"Oh? Why don't you?" he smirked.

A low growl escaped her. "Dark, Dex, come on," she said to her demonic companions. "We'll leave the brat to his blood feast." She rolled her eyes, turning away.

"Oh come on," UnDark groaned, rolling his eyes. "It's not every day I meet someone who can hold their own against me. Are you going to be rude and walk out on me like this? If I recall you were the one that started it."

She stopped, not turning around. "You started it. If you were truly as powerful as you claim, you wouldn't let a few mean names get you that upset. You may be powerful, as I've seen, but you might as well be a two year old."

He wanted to get angry, he felt anger rising up, but he repressed it, shaking his head, looking as apathetic as ever. "Fine, whatever. Since you know who I am, will you at least tell me your name?"

"Why?" she glanced back some. "So you know what name to whisper in the dark for the devil to unleash a curse upon?"

"No...but that's a wonderful idea," UnDark replied.

The girl sneered at him, turning her head away again.

"Alright, dammit, and you say I'm irritable," he said, shaking his head. "I just want to know. Otherwise I'm going to call you the edgy bitch, next time we meet."

"If we meet," she said, after a long pause. She took a step, as if about to leave and continue to refuse his request, but stopped, turning back. She looked at him, standing there with his hands on his hips, his eye brows raised over his green eyes glazed over with apathy as the light of the fires flickered in them. With her arms crossed, she sneered at him, then after much reluctance, she sighed and said, "Ophelia, I'm Ophelia Spades."

The two stood there in this way for a few moments, Ophelia trying to look as displeased as possible, while UnDark used apathy to hide intrigue. Eventually, he could no longer repress the smirk on his lips. "Alright, Ophelia." A nod rounded out his answer.

Ophelia blinked for a moment, then rolled her eyes, turning and walking off, Dark and Dex following her. UnDark eyed her as she left, still smirking. He turned away, shaking his head, "I don't know, maybe I'll call you the edgy bitch anyway." After a few moments, a heavy piece of rubble hit him in the head, knocking him down.

With her back turned to him still, Ophelia smirked to herself. "And I'll call you the pathetic little boy, UnDark."

She left after this, the sound of hissing laughter following her in her wake.

This was the first meeting; one day, they would meet again.
The Megalomaniac and the deadly Queen of Spades.

Wrote that all for my buddy Gem because she's awesome and loves my stories to much XD

I didn't even say I was going to write one for this but, ah well lol

I came up with how these two met originally so I think it's about time I wrote it down.

Ophelia is created the same year Deannalee is born, so, we're not 100% sure when UnDark and Ophelia meet. It's most likely during the Wars themselves, perhaps getting close to the end, but most likely before UnLight meets Evelyn Bloom. It's worth noting that Othadious and Akaious are born shortly after Autumn is, really shortly. So, UnDark knows Ophelia longer than UnLight knows Evelyn, but they both become fathers around the same time.

Anyway, Gem requested this and you can see by the conflicting dates that it took me awhile lol I had the flat color done for awhile and literally did everything from the background to the shading in a few hours today. I think I'm slowly getting better. I've got a method for hair and eyes which helps immensely. I'm actually proud of the fire too XD

I know the light sourcing might be wonky but they've got the fire on all sides of them...so...yeah I'm still practicing. If you've got tutorials you'd like to share feel free but no crits. Yeah I'm weird lol

Shading was kinda minimal here but I think it came out good enough =3

UnDark belongs to me.
