#first half is the almost lost info Tules want from Spider

[jsab-reblogs]

Usurper committed regicide and took the throne for themslef lol

and then Strike(they're a knight) came along telling them something something about to actually take care of the kingdom

But then usurp said "no??? i don't wanna???? Why would I do that????" and sends them off?/banishes? Strike out of the kingdom via baseball except the bat is Usurp's scepter and the ball is Strike and then turns them into a criminal/tratior to the kingdom

Edit: i added the read more cut

and like throughout Usurp's rule the worse the lands look like and strike starts on a journey to get back in th kingdom and start a rebellion against them

Strike meets Antimony along the way cuz he passed out with a wound after a battle and Anti was jus walking by and went

"wtf, okay, at least I can test if my potions work ig, 50/50 lol"

And the potion works and strike wakes up feeling good and goes "hey wanna get that crown of that throne?" And anti says nah but joins them cuz they were gonna go to the kingdom anyways(to sell potions)

And like they go on adventures n stuff

(They meet Spider in a cave they rested in cuz its Spider's home and tags along using a magic clone cuz they seem interesting and want to see what happens, Anti and Strike are unaware of Spider joining them)

They get to the capital where there actually are people starting a rebellion and strike and anti becomes the catalyst for it

They get to the castle and battle a bunch of guys and then they battle usurp and usurp uses their cauldron thingys and hits strike but b4 strike dies the due to bleeding(? Technically bleeding cuz Shape biology is weird) they summon a shovel(that's their magic ability lol) and aims at usurp's chest

Anti seeing strikes state and thinks their dead and stuff charges at usurp with a potion bomb making sure it will explode near usurp along with themself

Usurp get distracted to Anti and makes a strong blow to Anti's head with their scepter causing anti to faint and Strike to properly aim at the crown's chest and shooting the shovel shattering usurper's core in the process

and then anti's potion blows up

(Spider was watching the whole thing but decided to not help, they regret this in the future)

Bunch of years skip and bam they all finally form as ghosts!(except spider cuz they're still alive, immortality lol) OOooOooOoOOooOo

When u become a ghost there's 50/50 chance of forgetting ur life before death and uUsurp and Strike don't remember a thing, they have ideas on how they died and who they probably were but that preeeeety much it

They all form in diff places cuz that can happen lol

Strike trades their ghost armour for a ghost sweater with another ghost and travels places as a ghost, quickly befriends a newly formed ghost Macabre(who doesn't know what on earth is going on at the momence cuz they recently died oof) while they were in Paradise

coincidentally Anti and Usurp meet a few weeks after forming as ghosts and Anti is mad and FUMING but also glad cuz they can see that their efforts to save the kingdom worked(or did it? :)) Cuz Usurp is dead too, reason why mad is cuz they r with usurp, Usurp has no idea why this bat guy is mad at them but wants to help them not? Cuz this guy is mad for reason and they want to find out(not a great idea tho) Anti decides to find Strike jus incase strike also became a ghost and usurp tags along

Meanwhile Strike helps Mac with being a ghost by giving ghost tips and like a year skip maca fine with being a ghost(tho they miss a bunch of stuff lol)

Okay okay okay so each 500 years the "Death" aka the guy who collects ur soul when u die retires and picks another ghost to take their place lol cuz ghosts r souls they can't collect unless the ghost wants to be

As long as the soul doesn't form into a ghost the "death" can collect it and give it to The Tree for safe keeping until it gets reincarnated(lol)

Macabre gets chosen to be next Death guy lol and gets the title "Spectre of Death" due to high amounts of magic they suddenly got
