Hello all! I've decided to make a series of stories that focus on certain Legionnaires. The first of this series will be on Shadow, I've made some changes to her recently, and given her a little sister, Kaida. I would like to thank everyone who's reviewed and helped me out with the story Bounty Hunter. There isn't any talk about the Legion in the first chappie, but there will be more in the second or third.

Shadow's Point of View

DC7

"Kill her! Kill the witch!" The crowd of Federation troops yelled as I was pushed against my will to a pile of hot coals. Two large troops were behind me, making sure I couldn't escape. "Stop." A voice said. Sadly, this voice was not my saving grace, in fact, it was my death. The voice seemed to come from everywhere, the identity of the voice was revealed when the General stepped out of his thrown room to great us. He was the dictator that conquered Grein and forced us to let go of our traditions and magic.

"Today, is a very momentous occasion. Today we strip Grein of it's heritage and give it a new future!" The Dictator screamed as if he was announcing some sort of celebration. "Today we kill the evil Shadow, and replace her with a new era!" A roar from the crowd told me that I was going to die a slow and painful death. I was the last true heir to the thrown, the only thing standing in the way of the Dictator.

A giant gust of wind blew upon the gathering and scattered the hot coals. I watched in shock as the coals flew into the troops' faces, making them scream and fall onto the ground in pain. The two troops next to me were sucked into the ground and never seen again. I screamed in horror and looked to the sky, I flapped my black dragon wings and managed to propel myself off the ground a few feet.

I smiled, thinking that I had out smarted the General. But my little moment of happiness ended too quickly as I felt an undescribable pain in my back. I looked down to my chest, and the point of an arrow was sticking out from the place my heart was kept. I tried to scream out for help, but everything went black.

In this blackness I saw a circle of elders, they seemed to be floating on pillows. An old woman turned to me and motioned to come closer. I did as she said, hoping that I wouldn't regret my actions later. I sat next to her on one of the pillows. Across from me was an old man smoking a pipe. "So how did you go?" He asked taking a big puff.

"Go?" I asked like an idiot. "Go, like die, darling." An old woman with long hair told me. "I'm dead!?" I screamed/asked. "Yes, what do you think you were doing? Playing hopscotch when we just decided to drop in?" A teenage boy asked. His harsh words hit their mark inside my heart. Tears fell from my eyes as I said, "But I'm only six." "What's your name?" A tall skinny man asked. I sniffled and chocked out the word, "Shadow."

Then they talked to each other in a sort of language I couldn't understand. They sounded like insects buzzing. The woman that motioned me over said, "You cannot die now. You have a prophecy following you." "Oh joy." I said berrying my face in my hands

"You must protect your sister." The one with the pipe commanded. "But my sister is dead." I said feeling the sadness well up in me. "No, she's not dead. You just got separated from her. Here is a map to find her and a safe spot from the General." The teenage boy said. "But before you begin your quest, we must give you a gift." The woman with the long hair said. I nodded my head for her to give it to me. "Close your eyes." The woman told me, "I will have to take away your wings. But in their place I will give you the power over fear and darkness."

I felt energy flow through my body as intense pain radiated throughout my back. The power became so intense that I screamed for the woman to stop. But she just said calming words and told me it would be over soon. She was correct. The power flow completely stopped, and I found myself struggling to breath. I kicked my legs and tried to scream but it felt like a weight was on my chest. The pillow that I was on came out from under me and I feel down into a deep dark abyss.

I felt like I had been falling for ages, but I could see a light at the end of the abyss. The light came closer and closer, I had to cover my eyes because the light was so brilliant. Then I felt myself smack onto the ground, I groaned and turned over to see that I wasn't in the Elder's Place anymore. I was in a cave with a fire in the middle.

I felt something stuck to my back and realized it was the arrow. "Oh no." I said knowing that I would have to take it out. I reached behind my self and pulled. It was the worst feeling on the planet. "AHHHH!!" I screamed as the arrow head scrapped through my skin and out my back. When it was finnaly out I fell back onto the cave wall.

Sure enough, the map was in my belt. I pulled it out and read the instructions on the back.

1. Take the arrow out of your back.

"Sometimes I hate being me." I said letting myself fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.
