The raw black was pulled and molded into homes and turrets, and harvested for the raw potential it held. From that raw potential, families were able to eat which stimulated their reproductive organs. With this, more of the shadowed peoples were able to be born. With this, an army was populated.<\/p>\n<p>In one hall of black strode a panther. Her movement caused thin black drapes to sweep upwards and the natives of the dimension to stand aside with a salute. Her dark hazel eyes penetrated the walls and her fangs glimmered as she opened her mouth with a pant. She turned a corner onto one of the few red rugs that led to two large, black doors, looking as if they were perfectly carved out of wood. The doors were opened by two tall beasts and she entered into a massive room where a black pool sat. She stood at its side and looked down.<\/p>\n<p>The thick liquid rippled and churned, revealing the panther\u2019s face in a strange reflection of blues and greens, like oil on water. She frowned at her reflection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is our population growth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is growing steadily, my Queen,\u201d answered a dark beast as it stood by one of the doors. \u201cIn a few years we could\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot wait.\u201d She turned and faced the beast. \u201cWe need to grow the population. With the shadows harvested, we can finally have our own world and our own land, with people and homes like we used to. Don\u2019t you remember?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember, my Queen.
