"Then take your Last Breath as Theodore Anders and rise the Dark Prince, and know that you serve the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears before all others."
The Lover pulled back and settled in her chair. Her first agent on this 'Earth Bet.' The process of Exaltation had gone smoothly. She had expected some difficulties, the humans of Earth Bet not having souls, lack of a sub-structure of Essence, or simply not even being able to pierce the wall betweens worlds through her 'Bowl of Udr.'
The Lover pondered re-naming it to something more impressive. Perhaps when she had started experiencing some success in her task to investigate, subvert, and destroy an 'Earth.' She swirled the waters, keeping an eye on her new charge.
The Dark Prince's family was recovering well, as if they expected that something like Exaltation could happen. When the Deathlord visited his dreams, she would have to inquire about it.
The father wiped the excess blood off his son's brow, revealing the full glory of the still bleeding Moonshadow caste mark.
A Moonshadow wasn't ideal, but definitely workable. The possibility of using another of her precious Exaltations would have to be considered for the short term. Opening a full shadowland was a priority, as was having a powerbase on Earth Bet.
Yes, that would be his first mission. He would have to gather a suitable power and knowledge base. Once that happened...
The Lover's lips turned down. She definitely hated having to rely on a single agent, especially one so untrained. It made it difficult, but not impossible to plan. She would still have to wait to see were his talents lay.
The Dark Prince's Character Sheet:
[]Write in (More below)
The bowl was covered, and the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears swept out of her private, hidden study, only stopping long enough to redo all of the traps and protections. Amusement and entertainment were needed. She could visit his dreams later.

Your mouth opens and closes a few times before finally settling on what you are going to tell your father.
"I..." you pause and look at Max, his attention is riveted on you.
"The world went grey, and I saw this woman," you pause again, remembering her curves, her legs, her delicate hands, her pouty lips, her intense eyes. She was so fucking hot.
"She was really fucking hot, I can't even explain how hot she was. I think even you would have been a bumbling fool in front of her, and even that would be an understatement."
That gets a snort of amusement out of your father, along with a slight lift in the corner of his mouth.
"I think she might have been Freja, because she offered me a deal. I had to give up my name, my Wyrd, and enter her service. In return she would give me life and power. I..."
You look down at your hands and feel the tiniest bit of shame.
"I was afraid, I didn't want to die," you look up at your father's now concerned face, "I took the deal, she renamed me 'the Dark Prince.' Theo Anders took his Last Breath on that floor, then everything started moving again, and," you finger the hole in your shirt absently, "I got better."
"And here we are," Max spoke up. He looked over your shoulder to where the twins were, before casting his gaze back down at you.
Before he can speak, heavy bangs interrupt, and you all jerk in surprise. Jessica quickly leaves the room, and Nessa's slightly panicked voice startles your father to action.
"That could be the paramedics. I called 9-1-1 while Jess called Ophelia."
"Scheisse!" Max swears. "Theo, go change your shirt quickly, keep the handkerchief pressed to your forehead. We must protect your identity if its the paramedics. You fell down and knocked yourself out. We panicked because you were unresponsive and your wound bled profusely. Quickly now, go!"
You get up and start making your way to your room, thinking about how you want to handle this.
Pick one from each category:
[] Fuck your dad and his ideology. Tell the paramedics (if it is them) the truth (but not that your dad is Kaiser. That is a bit to far over the imaginary cape line) and probably end up a Ward of the State and in the Wards.
[] Protect your identity, play along with your father. If you want to break away from the E88 or never join up with it, it can be decided later, your identity is more important at the moment.
And:
[] If its Ophelia and Aaron, let Ophelia play nurse. Even missing an eye, she's definitely fap worthy.
[] If its Ophelia and Aaron, keep Ophelia from fussing over you or decline treatment, you're a grown fucking man now. You touched death and a
very pretty lady came along and helped you kick it in the teeth.
