• "PLEASE! LET HER GO! YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER!" the boy yelled.
    "That's the point. Now shut up." the man calmly stated back.
    "Please stop. I can't breathe." the young woman said in a faint whisper. She was starting to go uncontious.
    "WHAT DID WE DO TO YOU!? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US? Please stop hurting her...please stop hurting my Isa...please..." the boy said as he sank to the floor of his cell. he was chained to the wall and couldn't help the woman he was in love with.
    "You want to know what you did?" the man asked, looking Isa in the eye. "You existed. You are the only thing that can kill me and i don't want to die, Isabella. It's too soon for me to die."
    "I don't know what your talking about!" Isabella replied between gasps of breath, truely not knowing what he was saying.
    "Enough lies, Witch. You're the last of your family line. Your family has the strongest magic. I've managed to kill the other's of your family and your it. The last. YOU WILL DIE!"
    The man slamed Isabella into the wall hard enough to make her pass out. He pulled out a dagger to slice her throat when an bolt of lightning struck down and sent him into a wall. When he lifted himself out of the rubble, he saw a woman stand where the lightning had struck.
    "Maralonna?" he asked, frozen by confusion and wander, quickly replaced by fear. "But how? I killed you? HOW CAN THIS BE?!"
    The woman just looked at him and said, "Merdysyous. Why did you try to kill me? Why are you trying to kill my daughter?"
    "It's a misunderstanding, My Queen, i was trying to protect her," he swallowed hard and tried to back away.
    "You betrayed us, Merdysyous. My daughter had no idea of her heritage. I tried to protect her from the people like you. People who crave power. People who crave death."
    The boy who had been shock silent finally found his nerves and spoke, "Miss, will Isa be alright?"
    Maralonna looked at him, then at her daughter laying on the ground unconcious. "She should be fine. He didn't do any real damage."
    There was a sudden flash and the boy screamed in pain. As Maralonna rush to heal his fresh burns, Merdysyous ran to Isabella and threw her over his shoulder.
    "Another time, My Lady. We might be able to work out a deal, so I'll keep Isabella alive. For the time being at least," Merdysyous said with a evil chuckle.
    A portal of the deepest black opened up behind him and he back stepped into it.
    "NOOOOO!!!! ISABELLA!" the boy had yelled as the portal closed. He tried to get up to run through the portal but was stopped by the chains and Maralonna.
    "You must rest, boy, so that you may fight another day. What is your name?" Maralonna asked the boy.
    "Mikeal. Mikeal Fallat. And Isabella, she was the woman of my dreams. And now she's gone. My heart and soul has gone with her," the boy responded as he sunk, slowly, back to the floor.
    "Don't give up hope. You will see her again. You will be the one to save her."
    He looked up at the woman that stood before him. She had a smug grin on her face a she looked at the boy.
    "I will train you as if you are one of us. After all, you would have eventually."
    "What do you mean one of us?" he asked her as she tended to his burns more.
    "One of the Shadowstone."
