Shrouded in Darkness

Darkness can Consume

“Why are we in the city?” Merith politely asked Sombra

“Because we need supplies for the journey” Sombra said calmly.

“Also you should be careful. I had to lie to the guards and tell them that you were dead”

They had been in the city for three days, they had gotten clothes tailored for Merith because Sombra had a ‘Friend’ that owed him a favor.

“And here comes the need for my cover story” Merith muttered under his breath as they passed a platoon of guards that were doing random checks.

“You there! come over here!” A guard yelled pointing a finger at Merith

Crap

“Yes officer?” Merith said as he walked over to the guard

You're under arrest!"

“Under what order”

“For being a Dragon.”

Crap was the first thing to go through his mind when he heard that.

What?

Help and go with the role of being Master and Apprentice

“What do you need apprentice.” Sombra asked.

Merith gestured to the guard.

“Oh. I’m sorry officer. This dragon here is my Apprentice and,”

His tone started to change to a dark tone and his eyes became tinted green, his pupils became catlike. The colored part of his eyes became red and they emitted a deep purple mist. His hands had that same mist bubbling with a green outline.

“his name is Merith and if he does anything wrong I will handle it, GOT IT!?”

Sombra was levitating and wind was swirling about him as he yelled those words

“Master calm down before someone else sees us!”

The wind died down as did the mist. Merith look over his shoulder at the guard who had fallen over, who also had a look of fear and dread. Merith took note of a large wet spot on the guards pants and snickered a small bit.

Once Sombra calmed down he calmly said “I adopted him from a dragoness who could not care for him.”

he started to sniffle.

Merith don't ask if i am crying 'cause I am

Why

Because my life…

he broke out into a full crying fit.

“S-sombra? you okay?”

“Y-yes I’m fine...” he said.

"just haven't rage shifted in a long time..."
