In Between

I don't own Skulduggery Pleasant or any of the characters. All rights to Derek Landy. Only the story lines and ideas are mine.

1. Darquesse

When Valkyrie's Darquesse, she is alive. She can feel the magic awaken from within her, and she is free. She's free from rules or humanity. She can do anything and everything; test her powers to the limit. So she does.

She flies through towns with a reckless abandon, demolishing buildings and burning forests with a wave of her arm. She kills mortals and sorcerers alike; making their brains explode or watching them slowly bleed to death in agony surrounded by loved ones. Darquesse watches them curiously, laughing when she discovers a new way to break a bone or a hidden power that she has.

Sometimes Lord Vile joins in on the fun. Darquesse especially loves this, because she knows that Skulduggery has lost control and that he won't bring Valkyrie back any time soon. She taunts Vile, flying away when he comes close, reattaching a limb when it's sliced off by his armor. Occasionally, Darquesse lets her blood flow, reveling in the sharp agony of her every movement, knowing that she could fix the wounds in a heartbeat.

When Valkyrie's Darquesse, she murders with reckless abandon, the power coursing through her veins. But when Valkyrie returns, she regrets. For the lives lost, for losing control. But most of all, she regrets the loss of power.
