Into The Shadow Realm | Rascal x fem reader story 2023

The old room in the back is deafeningly silent and empty when you enter. You made sure to listen out for a definite sound of the joker's departure before anything else. When the coast is clear, you walk in.

Of course, there is nothing there. Of course Rascal is smart enough to take anything of his with him after the debacle last time you tried!

If only you were able to capture even the slightest bit. Now object manipulation seems pointless.

While you aimlessly roam around the room, middle of the day and with nothing else to do, your gaze shifts to the bookshelves. Books fill the shelves, ones about the Shadow Realm, about Emperor Nogo, spells and others bear spines so old you can barely identify the title.

Then you notice one particular book. It is a faded red covered in dust, however the title captures your attention. On the spine it says; Teleportation.

Cautiously, you find yourself reaching for it, cringing when your fingers meet the dust on the cover.

On the back, it reads;

The ultimate guide to teleportation; How, What and Who

Flipping open the cover, you reveal the first page.

Who: Teleportation is achievable to almost every magical being. It may be harder for some than others. It all depends on one's negative energy storage. The ability to teleport comes easier to those who only store and live solely on negative energy to survive. Others who do not just require negative energy in order for survival, may find teleporting more of a challenge – though it is not impossible.

You stare at the words, eyes widening. I can...learn to teleport? No one said you could learn! Not any of the teachers you endlessly badgered, not in the Dungeon's book of Rules, and definitely not Kurt who was certain they could not do you up a spell.

Perhaps nobody was told to keep order?

Seemingly unbelievable, you push the false hope down a notch, and zoom out of the fortress. You land in an area similar to where you threw knives at targets with the wolf. You have not seen him around in a few hours, or Brooha, since it is both of their turns to go in a pair to loose against the Glitter Force.

Even Rascal went with Brute the other day. You thought it was hilarious, but you said nothing.

No one is around, just a plain rocky area with the occasional dead bush.

You open the book again, turning to the first chapter straight away; How to Teleport.

Step one, you read, become in tune to your surroundings. Well that is easy, you are in plain grounds.

Step two, close your eyes, notice the sensations around you.

Step three, clear your mind and slowly surround yourself in negative energy.

Step four, come up with a detailed picture of the place you desire to go. The more detailed and clearer, the better.

Step five, imagine yourself teleporting to that place, letting the energy consume you and while taking charge of it.

It sounds quite easy, though you are pretty much certain it is going to be the opposite.

Once reading through the instructions a countless number of times to memory, you close your eyes. In an instant, you take in the feeling of the cool air against your skin. Even though you can't feel the cold, you visualise the effect it has, as well as your skirt gently skimming your legs in the breeze. You notice the high and snug neck of your top wrapping your neck, how your feet feel inside your shoes, how they wrap up past your ankles, and how your hair grazes past your shoulders. It has gotten longer. And lastly, how the rocky ground feels under your feet.
