As Kaira inched closer to him, somehow his finger began to twitched on the hilt of the sword in which there were resting on. The Shadow Lord was about to wake up from his 800 year slumber by an unknown girl who somehow had the power to awaken him

The Shadow Lord had been seeing a dream in which a dark figure loomed over him and told him it was his destiny to take over Deltora the very land he dispised. The memories rushed back into his head from the time when he was still a human, and very long time ago.

((flashback))
A 13-year old boy walked along the alley of a small town that was very broke and dirty. The people were fowl and cold hearted, jobs were hard to find and many people died each day. The boy with long black hair scrambled as he heard other people shouting. He knew there were going to try and beat him up and take whatever he own. Tears ran down his cheeks as he felt the harsh world fall upon. A week ago his parents died from illness and left him by himself. Many people decided to us him as a toy for there own enjoyment by taking the things he own and forcing him against his own will.

Suddenly the boy bumped into a damp ragged body. He looked up and saw one of the boy that chased him every day. Frighten he turned around and bumped into the other group of boys. They frowned down upon him and the other laughed and jeered at him.

"So how much money did you steal today?" the leader of the group asked.

The boy did not reply and began to sulk looking down at the ground. He knew what was coming, but he did not want to steal from the other needy families. The leader spat at him and ordered the other boys to do what they always do, beat the boy up. After they finished, all of then walked off, ready to pick on some other unforunate children.

The boy laid in the alley, crying to himself. He pounded his fist into the cold wet dirt. A great hatred for was forming in his heart as a shadowed figure appeared before him, he glared down at the boy's calm blue eyes with his flaring red eyes of hate.

"Come with me boy, and you shall find power and revenge on the world that had done this to you. Come and you will have all that you desire. Give me your body and you shall have all of Deltora."

"who are....you?" The boy stared up at the dark shadow, and he figured that it was not a human like himself just a shadow in need of a body to live one before the light vanquished it. The boy nodded and he was engulfed by darkness....

((sorry it had to be on x-day day. But its a story not the real me. I'm not 1000 years old. ah yes happy x-mas day))

"Now child, return to what you were destine to do. Take Deltora once again and rule this fowl world..."the voice faded away slowly and then it was silenced.

The shadow lord slowly opened his eyes as he sensed someone drawing nearer to him. He pretended to still asleep without moving his head up. He waited looking at the ground until the right time to attack...
