Schaduw

An evil cackle sounded through the open field. A thin man with thin black hair with unnatural black eyes looked at a little bunny. 
'Sweet bunny... I know what I'll have for dinner.' His teeth bickered in the sunlight. He grabbed the neck of the animal and twisted his fingers. The soft hide of the bunny would be good for his collection, the bones for the pile, and the meat... The meat for his stomach.
He stood up and faded away. The last thing that was visible were his eyes.

His cape flew behind him as he walked quickly through the hallways of his castle. The black walls made him almost unseen. He lived their alone, not even servants helped him.
It had been different years ago, when he hadn't found his power yet, when he was still innocent and his eyes weren't all black. When his teeth weren't strangely shaped. 
Schaduw had dwelled through his parents hallways, as he did now, and was looking for some excitement. He had found it their, a little ring that slid around his little finger. As he looked at the ring, Schaduw felt the changes in his body. His eyes went black, and he could see better in the dark, his teeth grew into points that changed normal if he wasn't eating red flesh. But that weren't all the changes.. He grew into an adult when the little ring was around his finger. And with the growth, he felt a hunger that wasn't easily silenced. 
He walked into the room of his parents where they were sleeping, and killed them and drank their blood.
It was with the first servant girl that saw his parents in their bed. It wasn't a pretty site for the girl, for Schadow it was.. She screamed, and Schaduw wished she would turn into a rat, and she did. He laughed evil and broke the girls neck. Then ate her flesh and kept the hide as a token.
The other servants followed, and still his hunger wasn't silenced. He walked into the small village and killed all the people their. Then he wasn't hungry anymore. Now it was time for him to learn about his powers..
He tried and failed, but eventually he grew in his powers and was able to use them in a less obvious way. He learned that he could move the hole castle if he concentrated enough. And he never thought about letting the ring slip off his hand, never take it away to see what would happen.
But as he walked through the hallways he stopped at a door. It looked the same as the others, only in this door he kept his prices. The hides of every man, animal or other things if he was creative.
He took his knife from under his cape and started to cut the hide of the white bunny.
He felt the still warm blood on his hands and couldn't help it to eat occasionally from the flesh. His mouth, lips and chin were full of blood and his tong licked it all away.
Soon he would have to move again.. People were getting suspicious and would only walk around in the day. Not that that stopped him, but he needed to be careful.
Even if he didn't age, he didn't want to get for life.

So a few days passed, and the people got even more scared.. So Schaduw decided to leaf this small town. He could never pick a place to go, it was random. But that made it more interesting for Schaduw.

It was at the same time that Cyan was working in the garden. Fazzles needed some attention and Cyan was happy to give it to them. She looked up and stretched her back. She looked at a open space near the garden. She would have to find something for that open space. She went back to work and started to hum. Cyan heard a sound and was ready to start nagging. But when she looked around she only saw a castle on the open space. Her mouth fell open. She rubbed in her eyes and saw again. The castle was still their. She ran towards it and wanted to start nagging. It had been way to long since she did that.
She banged against the door and waited impatiently. She was tapping her feet and had her arms crossed. 
'Yes?' Cyan backed away when she heard the voice. It was so cold.. It scared her even if she didn't want to let him know.
'You could have crushed fazsles!' She screamed. He saw her and felt his hunger growing again. Why wouldn't he go for a snack?
'Why don't you came in and tell me about.. ah.. what was it again?'
'Fazzles. I'm not coming in.'
'Scared?'
He didn't have to say that. She picked her skirts up and walked with her head high.
Schaduw grinned at the blond haired girl and closed the door after her.

Cyan looked around and thought that she saw blood on the walls, but she couldn't see because it was too dark. Cyan stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She was about to hit him, when something flew by. It hit Schaduw and he fell on the ground. He recovered fast, but he couldn't reach the girl. Instead he saw a green lizard thing. It was hissing and stood protectively in front of the girl.
'I tell you what.. Don't harm Cyan and she will give you something powerful.'
'I am absolutely powerful..'
'Still.. Everybody could become even more..' He still hissed when Schaduw was thinking about what the lizards said.
'Don't call me lizard! I am a Dragon.' He hissed even more evil.
'And do you need anything in return?' Schaduw asked.
'Your training. I want to become even more evil…'
'Then start by getting out the way and let me kill.'
'Who do you think you are? Idiot!' The irritating girl screamed. Schaduw didn't pay any attention to her.
'But she will be needed when you want your power…' the liz.. euhm dragon said.
'Euhm... why?'
'She can give you something like me. There are more powerful, but non as evil as me..' It seemed the … dragon was grinning. Maybe he would try this..
'Ok then.. I'll promiss you not to kill her.. but she needs to give me such a dragon.'
'I will not!' She screamed. The dragon turned around and said
'Do you want to be death? What about Lucas?'
'Evilness NO!'
'Yesss.. Cyan do it. A nightshade perhaps.. And he will be gone.' And besides. Maybe a dragon cane make him less evil.. Evilness told Cyan in her mind. 
Cyan knew she couldn't do anything else. She didn't want to leave Lucas yet, or Trix.. 'Ok then. But he has to promise that he won't kill now. Not even Fazzles.'
'I promise.' Schaduw said in his most sweet voice.
'Let me out of this thing.' Cyan looked around and followed the man outside. 
She guided him through the high grass and noticed how the fazzles backed away for the man. 'Pick your dragon here.' She pointed to the table in the centre. Schaduw ran his hand through the leafs and saw them all shake. Except for one. He picked that one.
