It all started with the war.
I still don't know why the vampires of Moonlight Falls attacked SimNation. But they did. And town after town fell to their murderous rampage.
My hometown of Appaloosa Plains was one of the towns that fell. My parents were fighting in the war when it fell, leaving me in the care of the local school - the local school that was one of the first places to be attacked. The vampires rounded up the students and shipped us off to a cavern lair - to be used as slaves and food.
I'm Duncan Nightmagic, and this is my story.
Five years. That's how long I spent in that cavernous hell, waiting for a chance to escape. I was traded from vampire to vampire like a piece of meat. Eventually, however, I saw an opportunity and made a break for it. I ran through the caverns, taking every uphill turn I could, coming out into a graveyard - but not the Appaloosa Plains graveyard! Where was I? And more importantly, were the vampires giving chase?

New Legacy!
File corruption may have cut the Darkdusk Legacy short, but that doesn't mean I'm stopping the Random Legacy Challenge! I'm going to start over with a new legacy in a new world. Also, I wrote the Darkdusks in the third person, but I'm going to be writing the new legacy in the first person. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy what I write in the future!

Realm of Dusk - The Darkdusk Legacy - Chapter 10: Catastrophe
In the Realm of Night...
Desirae: "Do it now! Destroy the upstarts!"
Roberto: "But it could destroy us as well..."
Desirae: "I said do it!"
Back in the Realm of Dusk...
The Darkdusk household adapts to the newest addition. Maria is glad to have another "sister;" Kelly and Cyrus see Cari's daughter as nothing more than a means to an end. Kelly notices that the household is running low on food, so she goes to rob the grocery store.
As Kelly exits the house, she notices that it is even hotter than before. As she goes to the store, she looks up to see something weird in the sky. It looks just like the Realm of Night, and it's getting bigger! When she gets to the store, she gets a phone call from Cari.
Cari: "They're insane!"
Kelly: "What?"
Cari: "Didn't you see the Realm of Night in the sky? They're trying to merge it with the Realm of Dusk! That's why it was deteriorating!"
Kelly: "Desirae wants to take over both Realms!"
Cari: "But she and her cronies will end up DESTROYING both Realms!"
Kelly: "Isn't there anything we can do to stop them?"
Cari: "Not at this point...all we can do is ride out the storm. Gather your family - and my daughter - and meet me at my house!"
Kelly steals a few plasma fruit, runs back home, and tells the household what is going on. They pile into a taxi and drive to Cari's house.
When they get there, Cari is standing outside. She calls everyone in, locks the door, boards up the windows, and says that it should hold.
It doesn't.
When the Realm of Night impacts the Realm of Dusk, the house collapses from the sheer energy released by the merge. Indeed, all the buildings in both Realms - including Sorenson Castle - collapse.
When the dust settles, the merged Realm is a wasteland. Kelly, Cyrus, Maria, Maya, Cari and her daughter, Desirae, and Roberto are just eight of the millions of people killed by Desirae's all-consuming desire for power.

The End of Realm of Dusk
It's unfortunate that I have to say this, but I'm going to be ending Realm of Dusk after Chapter 10. The deterioration of the Realm of Night in Chapter 9 wasn't me Photoshopping the screenshots. It was file corruption. And because I didn't realize what it was in time (I thought it was my game lagging), I don't have any backups from before the corruption. Thus, I don't have a working file to play the Darkdusks.
This also means that there will be no pictures for Chapter 10.
I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice; I've had as fun a time writing the Darkdusks as you have had reading about them. But it is unfortunately time to leave Kelly and Cyrus. I will be starting another challenge in another world on this blog after I tie up the loose ends with the Darkdusks.
