What is your history?\u201d Kronos said.<br \/>\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 looked a little surprised instead.<br \/>\n\u201cYou want to know my history? Let me see.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI was born many years from now in 1993.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy dad was a magician. Sleight of hand type.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIllusion was his specialty. No real magic in sight.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy mother was his assistant. They made good money.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c100 % entertainment. I could do it all by age twenty.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI got a degree in metaphorical physics, you see.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIn my research, I found plenty of references per se.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI soon realized, maybe magic was actually real.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI needed to learn how to tap into it. Then, it was revealed.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI found an ancient manuscript that showed me how.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy studies into real magic began. I\u2019m still learning now.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFirst, after years, I learned how to travel in the in between.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI decided to go back in time, when real magic was king.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBy then, I was well established as \u2018The Shadow.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI became Kronos\u2019s acolyte. He knew I wouldn\u2019t tattle.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe rest is history you pretty much know.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI have an advantage of being from the future, you know.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c Going beyond my time into the future is a big gamble.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, anytime in the past, I can handle.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThis is going to help us in our plans with the demons.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey will be fooled. Keep it between us.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy next plan is the first warlock of Genghis Khan, plus.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe was killed. Ripped apart by the people he ruled.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, I think he was brought back. Don\u2019t be fooled.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI believe he is now working for the demons.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI will see what they have him doing to prevent screaming.\u201d<br \/>\nWith that, \u2018The Shadow\u2019 was gone. Their work continued on.<br \/>\nIn a day, or so, \u2018The Shadow\u2019 was back.<br \/>\nHe was looking a little gray, as a fact.<br \/>\n\u201cThat Xing Lo is the cruelest of men.<br \/>\n\u201cHis specialty in life was magical torture of men.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat is why he was hated so.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe was ripped apart by his own people, you know.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe was in hell for many years, living it over &amp; over.\u201d<br \/>\nKronos shuddered, but he tried to act bolder.<br \/>\n\u201cThat is how the demons control him.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe will be sent back to have it start over again.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey have him working on the ultimate magical torture.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSo horrible, I can\u2019t even mention any more here.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt will take him much time to come up with what they want.\u2019<br \/>\n\u201cThey harass him &amp; him, they will taunt.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey think if he is pissed off, he will do better.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe would love to take the demons to the letter.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cXing Lo? I have never heard of him.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cJust as well. He is a monster among men.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAt least, Kronos, you have some dignity.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe uses only black magic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c He knows nothing about white magic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, white magic will be the demons downfall.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBlack magic too. They have to take it all.\u201d<br \/>\nWhat \u2018The Shadow\u2019 meant by that is not known yet.<br \/>\nI will learn all that I can get.<br \/>\nAs soon as I have it, you will know too.<br \/>\nI will try my best to keep it coming to you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;R.W.
