I watched as the new 'arrivals' were trained each day.. All trained in use of all weapons.. I don't understand why, we decided to use only certain weapons.. But of course, some weapons are better then others, but unique all the same.. Just as we were.. We may have been from the same realm, but each of us were completely different... The large beings decided to give us 'names' because, to them, we all looked the same..

"You will be known as Z." a cloaked one said. I nodded and moved closer to it. Slowly, it brought out something I'd never seen before and moved it to the side of my arm... "This will hurt." it said, and as soon as the last words left his lips a searing pain rushed into my arm.. I closed my eyes and the pain was gone..

"None of you will be accepted into this world.. You are creatures no one will understand.. You can join them, of course, but doing so will end everything you were.. A shadow can never live in the light.." I opened my eyes to see a large room... All 12 of us were standing in the middle with the large beings seated in very high chairs.. "Speak for them," one of us said.. I knew him from the training sessions, D was the symbol they branded him with.. Slowly he leaned over toward me and whispered, "Return to the black abyss where you belong shadow."
