The Shadow Prince
The land of Epilen and Jyon faced its darkest hour on a summer night. Many people were killed by the plague. Others were killed by bandits and horrified citizens. Nonetheless, many distinguished abodes were put into darkness. So many people died on that faithful day. However, only one Epilenian survived the tragedy. When the dark lord’s apprentice tried to kill the last survivor, the apprentice was cutoff by an unknown warrior. The 5 year old Epilenian boy was saved by a shadow warrior. The shadow warrior wanted the boy for some reason. Thus began a journey that would change the entire world for the last survivor.
After the attack, the shadow warrior took the boy to a place called Angel school. This is where he learned the knowledge of the shadows and the powers of humans. After many years of training, the boy forgot his past and looked forward to his future. He did very well on the shadow exams, tests that proved the abilities of strength, agility, and magic. After the final test against his own master, the warrior who saved him, the shadow council soon found out that he was most gifted. One of the seers at the school told the council that it was affirmative that the boy would become the legendary shadow prince. There was no doubt that the seer was correct. After the boy finished his test, he finally graduated from the school at the age of fifteen. He was now ready to face the real world amongst many top shadow warriors.
Many days after he left the school, the young shadow warrior came across a camp full of thieves. Using his abilities, he quickly climbed a top of a tree and stayed there for hours. Since the sun was setting, the young warrior knew he had an advantage. After all, he was a shadow warrior. Shadow warriors love the dark. The thieves were working on a secret project that involved the shadow warriors. The young warrior was confused. All of a sudden, the headmaster of the shadow school came out and started talking: "My sons, today we shall conquer the world. Just like we destroyed the city of Epilen, we shall conquer the city of Jyon. With the help of my seers and top ranking warriors, we shall overcome the resistance force!" After hearing this, the young warrior felt the air become oppressive. He could not believe that it was the shadow race that destroyed his hometown, his people, and his family.
Full of rage, the young warrior lunged at the headmaster. It was a deadly mistake. The headmaster knew all along that the boy was in the trees. As the headmaster reflected the young warrior’s attacks, a coalition of shadow warriors attacked the young warrior. The warrior was outnumbered. He tried to escape using his invisibility trick, but it was useless. The warrior knew that he had to act quickly. When he tried to delve in his mind for an answer, he heard a voice from the clouds. And time stopped.
As the boy looked around for the voice he saw an image of his father coming down. His father looked beaten very badly. With torn cloths and a bloody arm, the father smiled to his son. His father told him that he was the one true shadow prince that came from the ancient Epilenian kingdom. The warrior was astonished that he was a true shadow warrior, one who fought for the good. Initially, the boy was skeptical about being a prince. His father also told him that he was to venture out and destroy the dark lord and all the evil shadow warriors who betrayed their Epilenian race. Accepting this and realizing his true potential, the warrior prince said farewell to his father.
After his father disappeared, the shadow warriors lunged at him. This time, however, the prince knew exactly what to do. Using his potential as a prince, he infiltrated every single mind around him, including the headmaster’s. He took away their souls and at the same time, established a true superpower by himself. The prince gained many experiences by doing this.
After he left the camp, he ran at the speed of light to his school. There he came across the bandits and the thieves who killed his people. He took away their souls, destroyed their souls and dumped the bodies in a pit. The shadow prince then created a shadow bomb to destroy the school. With remorse, the shadow prince summoned all of his strength and obliterated his only home. After that incident, he teleported to a cave near Epilen and Jyon and slept there for the night. The boy knew that in order to destroy all the best shadow warriors, he had to destroy the dark lord. That was a challenge worth taking.
For many years, the boy searched for the dark lord in different parts of Epilen and Jyon. However, the evil warrior could not be found. The prince knew that he had to find the dark lord before something horrible happened. When he arrived in the southern part of Jyon on one summer day, many citizens were impressed by his incredible strength and magnificent physique. In his consciousness, the prince knew something was wrong. The prince worked in the dark but studied in the day. He was very much invoked in his shadow senses.Nevertheless, the prince determined to find out what was wrong. he searched for many people gossiped with many women about why the twonspeople were so nice.
All of a sudden, a sage approached the prince. He told the prince that the dark lord was destroyed in a forest many years ago. He also told the prince that the people were surprised to finally find the hero who did it. Bewildered, the prince knew he had made a mistake. He fought all the shadows warriors for many years for no reason. He did not know that the dark lord was in the camp. The sage told him that dark lord was the headmaster of a school for learning the shadow arts. The prince knew that he was apparently telling the truth for shadow arts.
After hearing this, the prince thanked the sage and left the town of Jyon. The prince had completed his goal. However, he was baffled at the story of the sage. Why would a sage come up to him and tell him that the dark lord was killed in a camp? How did he know about the camp and how did he know about the dark lord being a headmaster? The prince soon realized one thing. The dark lord was the sage! The moment he figured out this mystery, the sage attacked him from behind. The prince was knocked down to the floor. The dark lord jumped in to the air and screamed a high shriek. The dark lord came closer and closer with his sword. The prince had no chance. When the lord came to the prince, everything just disappeared.
The boy woke up from his nap and looked out the window. Everything in Epilen and Jyon was the same as usual on a summer afternoon. He went down the stairs and saw his father with his regular cloths and newspaper in his hand. His father smiled at him and asked "is anything wrong?" He looked at his father and smiled. The boy went outside and played with his friends out in the cave until night time. From there, he saw a shadow from the moon looking at him from the sky. The boy looked and ran away forever.
