\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reign Of ‘The Shadow’ (Chapter One)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ had plans to be a great ruler.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After he displayed his power, this would occur.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the will of Kronos had other plans.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ would be his magical hands.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ didn’t want to return to the past.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, unfortunately, Kronos will won out at last.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ returned to just after Kronos death.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He saw Kronos body taken by\u00a0 demons, he would guess.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There were no longer any Wizards around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He knew that they had to be found.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>Their Keep must be around here somewhere.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>I have never looked for it anywhere.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>Now, we will,’ Kronos told ‘The Shadow.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>No Wizard would ever tattle.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>So, we will search where magic isn’t.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘A major lacking of magic isn’t efficient.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>It means something is hidden there .’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>Likely their Keep. We will beware.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>They will have it guarded in every way.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>They knew this day was coming some day.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their search took over a month.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, in some woods, ‘The Shadow’ gave a grunt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He had located a lacking of magic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone or something was being discreet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was the hidden Keep, invisible to all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon, it appeared to ‘The Shadow’s’ call.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

An ancient colossal mansion, protected by magic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To destroy the place would be very tragic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With Kronos help, ‘The Shadow’ found his way in.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His shadow like form helped him to win.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No magic or force was used.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just his great stealth, without any clues.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He froze an animated overseer in his place.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then he talked to him face to face.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The overseer could only see a shadowy form.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was scared and forgot he was sworn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sworn to secrecy about all he knew.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A being created by magical power,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

he was soon totally under their power.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>Where did all the Wizards go?”\u009d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The overseer true fully didn’t know?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>Where were they when last seen?”\u009d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>In the main room. A gate opened in between.”\u009d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>In between what and what?\u009d”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, he had no idea just what?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/i><\/b>The Shadow’ went to the main room. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He detected a ‘gate’ lurking in the gloom.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He found the right spell to bring it \u00a0to bare.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kronos\u00a0 said ‘I can detect Anika through there.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He encouraged ‘The Shadow’ to go in.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What would he find hiding within?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep stay tuned for chapter two.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be more excitement for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
