The Ending Of Bloodlines Always Gets Me

I’d like to introduce Phantomine! It’s my multimedia based lore series (with more!) about 17 year old Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom who has to solve the mystery of an elusive new newspaper distributing locker and who is behind it! It’s released on exclusively on my Instagram (@illustraice) with newspapers, radio and more such as real live websites with passcodes!

Danny bit back a sigh from his place on the throne as two young vigilantes fell from a portal in his throneroom. He peered at him through his long white veil as he straitened himself. He knew what to do. He had done this song and dance sixty-two times now and he was about to do it again.

He watched them bicker from the cold floor of his ice castle, something he made from his own ice so that the observants couldn't see or hear what was happening inside or pop in without his explicit permission. Something that angered the nosey creeps to no end. Ah, he's getting lost in his thoughts again. Its time to start the test.

"Why have you come to my Realms mortals?" He felt almost silly calling them that, but it worked in getting the two to stop arguing and pay attention to him. Ah, the younger one has a sword. Cool. Won't help him here, but he gets points for ascetic if nothing else.

"State your names."

"I am Robin!" The smaller one yelled, fierceness of his voice to match the fire in his soul.

The older seemed more hesitant, taking a moment to assess the situation before answering, "I'm Red Robin. Sorry for dropping in so suddenly-"

The younger cut in, needlessly destroying his partners attempt at deescalating the situation, "We were not at fault! A portal opened underneath us and we were transported here!"

Danny knows that. Thats why he was testing them, "Are you saying that fate brought you here?"

Robin looked pleased before confirming.

"Then you shall stay here, as those who enter the Lands of Lazarus are never allowed to leave."

They both bulked, one trying to argue and the other trying to reason with him. Danny tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne, pretending to think. "I will be merciful and allow one of you to leave. I will allow you a moment to make your choice." Danny barely got his words out before the older one declared that he would stay behind, putting himself between the king and his companion. Good. He passed the test.

He turned his attention back to the younger, "And you are fine with this?" This is the part where the companion adamantly refuses and offers themselves as sacrifice and the two bicker about who will get to sacrifice themselves for the other. The king becomes "moved by thier bond" or whatever and sends them both back to the land of the living.

"Of course! He's useless anyway."

...wat.

The older one made a wounded sound that made his core ache with the need to care and protect. This was not how things were supposed to go. Were ten year olds supposed to be this cruel? At that moment he made an admittedly impulsive decision and sent the child back, keeping the older of the two in the spirit would with him.

Leaving the comfort of his throne he walked down the steps towards the young man, his snowy robes fanning out majestically as his crown of stars bobbed around at his movements, some even going so far as to float around him as if showing off.

"I've made a decision. For this day forth you are my royal advisor." He stated before grabbing the other guys hand and pulling him along down the hall, "You're going to help me rebuild my kingdom from the thousands of years of war and political neglect it has faced. You will aid me in political endeavors as well as help the people in any way you see fit." He paused long enough to open the kitchen door and sit him down at the counter,

"But first, what do you want for lunch?"

Chapter 3 Summary: After the big reveal, John and Danny share a meal. Life moves on.

“So tell me, how did you find Billy in the first place?”

Danny thoughtfully looked out into the courtyard, before turning back to face John. “I was on my way back to Sam’s place from classes, and I happened to see him transform in an alley. I was shocked, so I invisibly followed him home. When I saw that he was living alone in an abandoned apartment, it broke my heart. I watched him that night as he ate a pitiful bit of leftover food from somewhere, and carefully stashed the rest in a hidey-hole. Then he climbed on his bare mattress and covered up with a threadbare blanket to sleep. It reminded me so much of the days before my high school graduation, when I lived like that; I just couldn’t let it go. I couldn’t bear to see another child hero suffer like that. He just reminded me so much of myself.

After my parents found out that I had died, and that I was the ‘hero’ protecting the town from their mistakes, they kicked me out of the house. I lived on the streets for almost two months and didn’t tell anyone because I was so ashamed, and I was afraid my secret would get outed. I’m sure Billy feels the same.”

“Damn, kid. That sounds rough. Now I can see why you took to the boy. You said you were a child hero before your parents discovered your secret. If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you were a ghost before they noticed?”

Danny’s face clouded. “Three and a half years.”

“How did they miss that their kid was dead for three and a half years?!?”

“They cared more about their work than they cared about me and my sister. It was that way my whole life. My sister was the one who practically raised me. It doesn’t matter anymore…” Something told John that it did, but he wasn’t about to call out the Ghost King on personal matters.

“….Besides, I have the ability to pass as a human when I want to. It’s how I finished high school and got into college.”

“I thought you went to some kind of ghostly college.”

“No way, dude! Didn’t you read ‘Harry Potter’?? Dead teachers are the worst. They are soooo boring. That’s one of the few things the books got right.” A polite cough sounded from the side of the room. “Uh, ghostly mentors, on the other hand, are fantastic! It’s just…ghostly learning institutions that I don’t care for.” Danny’s hand went to the back of his neck and started rubbing it sheepishly. Now he looked more like the ghost that John had met in the park.
