• The Past

  ShadowSkill was born in a small village off the coast of Drung, people often visited Drung with their ships or by train. ShadowSkill was born with a green dragon mark on his lower left leg, but no one knew what this mark meant, he didn't even know about the mark, or that he even had it. ShadowSkill also was born with a yellow star on his forehead, but he didn't know what that meant either. He had a small family of three, his father, his mother, and of course himself. When ShadowSkill turned two years old, his father walked over to his mother to give him something.
  
  “Here, this is for you. It’s something very special from me to you. So don’t lose it.” His father said softly and placed the pendant into his lover's hand.
  
  "I will keep it safe, always." His mother replied.
  
  ShadowSkill giggled lightly as he watched them, then when he seen his father leave, he went over to his mommy and somehow stole the pendant out from his hand. ShadowSkill then ran off with it within his small paws, but he didn’t seem to be looking where he was going. He then tripped on a small rock on the ground, and the pendant fall out from the lion cubs paws, it only landed a few feet away. But his mother noticed that it was missing, and seen it laying on the ground. He then picked the pendant back up, then placed it around his neck this time. ShadowSkill huffed as he dusted himself off, then glanced up at his mother. He didn’t understand why his mom looked mad for and upset. His father smiled as he seen that his lover was wearing the pendant and kissed his cheek.
  
  "Don't steal anything. Its not right, okay?" His mother asked him, giving ShadowSkill a stern look.
  
  "What's steal?" ShadowSkill asked tilting his head as he looked over his parents.
  
  "Stealing is wrong. If someone stole something you liked and cared about, you will be sad." His father explained to him.
  
  They were always kind hearted about everything, they never yelled at their child. They weren’t like that at all, they knew yelling was wrong anyhow. Since many parents within Drug yelled at their children, and then in turn their children started to dislike them. But those two seemed very kind, caring, protective, and noble to all the others within that small village. At the front of the village was a large black gate that was never opened, no one could come in and no one could go out. But ShadowSkill seemed to leave his parents side after what they said, as he walked down the roads.
  
  He then walked over to the large black gate, wondering why there seemed to be black crow statutes on the top of both ends of that gate. Suddenly the gate opened, and ShadowSkill ran out of it, then the gate closed behind him. It didn’t seem odd to the small lion at all, but what he didn’t know was he had some odd power that had opened that gate. ShadowSkill giggled as he walked away from that gate, he then seen that a large bridge was pretty much right outside of that gate. ShadowSkill looked at the bridge, but decided to return to the village, so he turned back around. ShadowSkill walked back over to the gate again, and it opened for him once again, then he ran through the entrance. The gate again closed behind the small child, but one of the villagers seen this happen and they got scared of the lion. ShadowSkill walked for a bit, until he saw a large green and yellow dragon statue.
  
  "Wow, its very big." ShadowSkill replied, even so no one else was around.
  
  He then lifted up his pants leg to glance at the small dragon mark on his leg, it was sort of like that statue. Just the small dragon on his leg was all green, but it didn't matter to him. He still thought it was cool, so he admired the statue for awhile, until he ran back to his parents. ShadowSkill tugged on his father's pants, since he couldn't reach anything else yet, trying to tell him he was back. His father smiled, as he patted the lion's head gently with his hand, then lifted him up. ShadowSkill smiled as he got picked up, as he glanced over to his mom.
  
  "Mommy why do I got a yellow star on my forehead?" ShadowSkill soon asked.
  
  "You were born that way." His mother answered.
  
  "Oh..." ShadowSkill said, as he tried to go into his mother's arms. Even though his father was still holding him.
  
  His father just shrugged as he watched him, then gently placed him into his mother's arms. After all he knew what their son wanted. The mother held ShadowSkill ever so gently in his arms, but he did kiss his lover's cheek. ShadowSkill huffed a little after seeing this, but he calmed down and doze off to sleep within his mother's arms. They then placed the small lion into his crib, as they went to sleep on the bed within the same room of course. The next day, ShadowSkill ran out of the house, and went to that same green and yellow dragon statue. He looked at it, then wondered if anything was written below it or not, for some time he kept glancing at that statue.
  
  "You are chosen, you are the key. But a danger is about to befall you, you should prepare for it." The wind whispered to the lion alone.
  
  "What do you mean?" ShadowSkill asked in a confused tone.
  
  "You cannot change your destiny at all, your destiny is to find a feather, but not just any feather. A silver feather that lies in the depths of a cave that has a dragon within!" The wind stated, then faded away.
  
  After this the dragon statue started to glow green, the glow then surrounded the boy. ShadowSkill held his head since he felt pain, a pain he never felt before. His yellow star then changed into a green star on his forehead. ShadowSkill only ran off to his parents after that had happened to him, wanting to be by their side. Since he knew his parents would protect him. A strange darkness fell on the land when ShadowSkill turned three years old, this darkness seemed to stay within their village. The people whom lived within this village decided to give up ShadowSkill , even though they actually had no choose to do so, since if they did not they had been threatened to be killed. So the people handed ShadowSkill over to the blue and grey canine whom threatened them, so that they could live. So, it was Shadowskill's destiny to be taken away for the other people to live, the canine whom was given ShadowSkill was named TerrorClaws.
  
  TerrorClaws was well known all over The Slave Chambers, other slaves were scared of him or talked amongst themselves about TerrorClaws. As ShadowSkill got older, TerrorClaws planned that this young child will learn the deadliest attacks of all times. TerrorClaws placed ShadowSkill into rags and gave him a bucket with only a small cloth. This cloth however, was much smaller then any old wash rag and to top that off ShadowSkill was told to clean this cage with it. This cage was always filled with hay, so ShadowSkill had to move the hay aside somehow, even though he wasn't allowed outside of this cage. The rules were if you even step out of the cage you get whipped! Those were the rules given to him by TerrorClaws. Even if ShadowSkill got the floor looking nice again without any dirt left, TerrorClaws would still yell or whip him. After that night, TerrorClaws sent one of his own man to get ShadowSkill out of his cage, so the guy did as he was ordered.
  
  "He's not trained very well, but we will see." TerrorClaws explained and whipped the floor, as they dragged ShadowSkill into the room and held him in front of TerrorClaws.
  
  They all nodded toward him and gazed upon the young boy. "Are you sure a child at his age will learn this technique?" They asked TerrorClaws.
  
  "Yes, I know he is young, but if he doesn't learn this technique then I'll kill him myself!" he yelled and laughed, he then walked over toward ShadowSkill who just struggled to try to free himself out of their grips. But the more he struggled the more tight they held him there.
  
  "Okay sir." they replied and bowed toward TerrorClaws.
  
  "Well, you have no choice in the matter you have to learn this technique or else!!!" TerrorClaws laughed and held the whip above the boy's head, ShadowSkill just growled toward him.
  
  "Stop you're growling now!" TerrorClaws yelled and whipped the boy, making the boy run into a corner and hide his head between his paws.
  
  TerrorClaws just laughed when he seen how afraid the child was of him and said, "This child will not get anything to eat until he learns this technique. I will teach him it tomorrow."TerrorClaws explained and walked into his room, as he sat down onto his throne.
  
  All of the people whom worked for TerrorClaws were in shock of what he said, but they nodded and bowed before leaving him to think. When the next day came, TerrorClaws opened the cell which ShadowSkill was in, and placed shackles onto him and whipped him. ShadowSkill yelped in pain as the shackles suck into his skin, this made TerrorClaws only throw him against the wall. After TerrorClaws thrown him however, ShadowSkill got back onto his feet, he actually was standing up for himself but TerrorClaws didn't notice this. ShadowSkill then walked over toward TerrorClaws, out of anger he had actually kicked TerrorClaws.
  
  "Nice move." TerrorClaws replied to the young boy, ShadowSkill just blinked and backed down.
  
  "Now kick me again!" TerrorClaws commended, this only made ShadowSkill angrier then before. TerrorClaws whipped ShadowSkill and yelled, "You didn't pay attention, you are supposed to obey your master!"
  
  ShadowSkill just cried from all of the whippings he had received and curled himself into a ball. TerrorClaws shook his head and took the shackles off of ShadowSkill for the time being.
  
  "Next time, I will place these shackles onto your paws when you don't obey your master!" TerrorClaws screamed and locked him into the cell.
  
  TerrorClaws didn't bother with the kid until he reached the age of seven. TerrorClaws walked in with the shackles in his left paw, and his whip in the other. ShadowSkill stood himself up inside the cell and stared at TerrorClaws.
  
  "Okay young one, you will learn this technique called "The Shadow Skill technique." TerrorClaws replied and smiled down toward the boy. ShadowSkill just blinked at him in confused way.
  
  "Shadow Skill technique what's that?" ShadowSkill asked.
  
  "Don't ask any more questions." TerrorClaws replied and whipped ShadowSkill for asking such a thing, then placed the shackles onto ShadowSkill's paws.
  
  "You are a bad boy, bad lion!" TerrorClaws yelled as he noticed ShadowSkill had placed his head down. ShadowSkill only done this because he was scared of yelling and screaming.
  
  "That's better, now kick me." TerrorClaws commanded, ShadowSkill then got into a standing pose, with his tail wagging slowly behind him. ShadowSkill soon ran and started to kick TerrorClaws, because he was angry and mad at him for all of the mean stuff he had done. TerrorClaws only laughed at this and asked, "Is this the best you can do?"
  
  ShadowSkill growled and kept kicking TerrorClaws, hoping that he could knock him down. TerrorClaws just laughed once again, as he whipped the boy.
  
  "Now you get to keep those shackles on your paws, now try to get free." TerrorClaws replied and walked out of the room, he returned to his own room to sit on the throne.
  
  ShadowSkill tried just that, he tried to pick the lock on the shackles with his tail, but his tail couldn't reach it. He grew mad and tried to kick them off of himself, but this didn't work either. Soon after a moment ShadowSkill gave up, that's when TerrorClaws threw another child into the cell, he looked to be five years of age.
  
  "I'll get you free." StarDust13 replied and took out a pin from one of his pockets; he actually picked the lock and freed ShadowSkill.
  
  "You should free yourself, get out of here." ShadowSkill commanded toward the other boy whom freed him.
  
  StarDust13 shook his head, he didn't plan on leaving without ShadowSkill to come with him. When TerrorClaws came toward the cell, he didn't notice that ShadowSkill was free, he also didn't see StarDust13 hiding in the dark corner.
  
  ShadowSkill growled and walked over toward TerrorClaws, his tail wagging fast behind him. He also used his claws against TerrorClaws, but that didn't even leave a mark. Then ShadowSkill used both of his feet to kick at him; TerrorClaws was amazed how fast ShadowSkill had learned this technique. ShadowSkill backed up and glew a bright red color as he used both of his feet again. TerrorClaws quickly closed and locked the pen to return to his room.
  
  "He mastered the skill. But how? He's only seven." TerrorClaws mumbled to himself, his minions blinked at him.
  
  "What sir?" They asked.
  
  "I have a mission for this child, even though he will die." TerrorClaws laughed, he knew of this cave that had a dragon who protected this silver feather. No one had ever survived, or came back at all.
  
  "But sir, isn't that too harsh?" They asked.
  
  "No buts." TerrorClaws replied and went over to the cell. "Okay boy, here's what I want you to do for me tonight, go into this cave and steal the silver feather, which is on a rock."TerrorClaws commanded. "Oh and if you don't bring it back you're friend here will die."
  
  ShadowSkill just nodded, he didn't want StarDust13 to die. He liked how he had freed him, and he wanted to do the same for StarDust13.
  
  "Good boy." TerrorClaws remarked, he didn't notice the broken shackles laying on the ground.
  
  ShadowSkill walked with TerrorClaws, until they both came upon the cave. TerrorClaws pointed at the cave, and held StarDust13 with his other paw. ShadowSkill just ran in without thinking or seeing if it was safe to enter.
  
  "Oh well we don't need to worry about that boy anymore. No one ever survived this cave, besides anyone who touches that feather gets cursed."TerrorClaws stated to his minions. "Now what should be done about you?" TerrorClaws asked StarDust13, as he pointed at the broken shackles.
  
  "Let me go?" StarDust13 asked, he didn't know of anything else to say.
  
  "Let's not do that." TerrorClaws laughed and he told his minions to tie StarDust13 down to the pole. So they did as they were told, and TerrorClaws whipped StarDust13.
  
  ShadowSkill looked around the cave, but didn't see any silver feather. Maybe the guy whom always whipped him had lied he thought, but he kept looking for StarDust13's sake. Odd. ShadowSkill thought, as he seen the silver feather glowing on top of the rock. He then took this feather and held it with both of his paws. A bright white light surrounded ShadowSkill as the wind whispered, "You were chosen to take this feather, you will not be cursed, but anyone else whom touches it will be cursed."ShadowSkill blinked not understanding what the wind meant, then turned around to head back to the entrance. But as soon as he turned the corner, a roar was head and a giant green dragon stood in front of him.
  
  The dragon was so huge, that it had blocked the entrance, also the dragon looked mad. ShadowSkill gulped and thought of something. ShadowSkill nodded and ran to the side of the huge dragon, making a few cuts along his arms because he ran too close to the wall. ShadowSkill ran out of the cave, but as soon as he got up a portal opened. ShadowSkill shrugged and walked into the portal unknowing where it will take him. The portal took him right into TerrorClaws's room.
  
  "Look, what I got." ShadowSkill remarked and held up the silver feather, by waving it with one paw.
  
  TerrorClaws was scared so he just backed away from ShadowSkill. Little did ShadowSkill know that StarDust13 was limping, but he did manage to get out of the place alive.
  
  "How did he get that feather. He must be cursed." TerrorClaws thought to himself.
  
  TerrorClaws ordered his minions to take the boy into slavery; he didn't want anything to do with him or the feather. The guards in the Slave Chambers told others thatShadowSkill went for 500 gold pieces. When ShadowSkill was taken to the Slave Chambers he was only 10 years of age, at this point in time The Slave Chamber didn't care if children were sold as slaves.

• In the Pens

  "This one is the key, he is the chosen one." The wind whispered to one of the slavers that were by ShadowSkill but they just glared at the boy and walked past him.
  
  "I am the key? What do you mean?" ShadowSkill whispered back to the wind.
  
  "The silver feather that you got, it didn't curse you therefore you are the key." The wind softly whispered.
  
  "But what does that mean?" ShadowSkill asked the wind. But there was no reply, the wind just quickly vanished.
  
  After sometime this slaver came over ShadowSkill, glancing to him. "You will do." the slaver replied toward the little lion. "Huh?" ShadowSkill asked. "I got five more slaves, so you won't be alone. But you will be the first male one I have, I wanted to try to find a male slave for quite some time now." the slaver stated, then paid for ShadowSkill.
  
  ShadowSkill tried to go with his new owner, but somehow found himself in some strange place he never been before... did his silver feather bring him here? Why was he here for, just then a purple and black horse came toward ShadowSkill, as he glanced to the boy and smirked. "I see, you are a slave." Thorwulfgear replied. "Um... I got paid for though by someone and should be there..." ShadowSkill said scared out his mind, not knowing what had happened at all.
  
  "Hey, how come I can't bring you to my place?" the slaver asked ShadowSkill somehow that had paid for him. "I... don't know, I am at some weird place." ShadowSkill answered. But then that slaver went quiet, which only left the poor lion more scared then before, just then the purple and black horse stepped closer to ShadowSkill. "You need a bath." Thorwulfgaer explained, picking up ShadowSkill with ease, then took him into a pool area. Oddly this male never checked to see if ShadowSkill was injured at all, he still even wore that black spiked collar that TerrorClaws gave him around his neck. The young lion had many scars, large scars along his chest and legs, but the most deeper scars was those on his back! Since TerrorClaws liked to whip ShadowSkill's back the most! Thorwulfgaer placed the boy into the water then, as he smiled.
  
  "Stay here now, this is your new home. I will return." Thorwulfgaer replied.
  
  But that guy never returned... he left ShadowSkill inside the water, as the lion almost drowned... but the silver feather glowed and brought the young lion back into the past before his parents died... after ShadowSkill made sure his parents didn't die this time around, he was sent into some weird forest. It had lot of trees, flowers, you name it, just then a white feline by the name of SnowAngel walked over to him.
  
  "Hi there again, my friend." SnowAngel replied.
  
  ShadowSkill blinked since he didn't even know who this white female was, let alone why she had called him her friend. Did she really know him, or was this all in her mind?
  
  "Hi, I guess." ShadowSkill replied after a moment of silence, as he glanced toward her.
  
  She giggled gently as her white hair shinned within the sun's rays. SnowAngel then looked to herself, then poked ShadowSkill a bit, as she tried to get his attention back.
  
  "Why am I glowing a light blue color? What does it mean?" SnowAngel asked him. She sighed to herself, then added. "Do you want to know why I am white in color?"
  
  "I have no idea." He nodded his head, since he really had no clue. "Who knows." He gave a shrug to that. "Sure, why?" ShadowSkill seemed interested in her story now and wanted to know more.
  
  "Well, I guess you wouldn't know why." SnowAngel replied. "The reason why is because I am an Arctic Cat, and I live in an ice cold place." She said, as he kept glowing there.
  
  Suddendly the portal opens and sends him back to the horse's place, making the poor lion fall into the pool of water. It was very cold, other then that ShadowSkill tried his best not to drown, but he almost had. He struggled within the pool, but finally somehow reached the edge and climbed out. But the odd part was, ShadowSkill was now eleven when he had used to be ten years of age. But how did he get older, and who on earth was that odd white feline? After all that arctic cat seemed to know him, right?
  
  After sometime he met this green and black horse, her name is Celtiania, she was very nice to him. She even made sure that he was warm and stuff, not like the purple and black horse cared.
  
  "My name is Celtiania, but you can call me Celti." Celtiania said toward ShadowSkill.
  
  "Okay, Celti." ShadowSkill gave a smile, as he glanced to his rags on himself.
  
  Throwulfgaer came over to them both now as he kissed Celtiania's neck, ShadowSkill wondered if they were mates or something, since his parents acted like this too. Just then ShadowSkill kept thinking about his parents, wondering how they were doing, he hadn't seen them for so long now.
  
  "Can I go see my parents?" ShadowSkill asked.
  
  "No, you can't. Your my slave now!" Thorwulfgaer shouted.
  
  ShadowSkill placed his head down, then Thorwulfgaer left the young lion in the care of Celtiana. Celtiana sighed, as she made sure her mate was asleep before she came back to the lion with a plan of her own, since she also wanted to met ShadowSkill's parents.
  
  "I want to met them..." Celtiana replied.
  
  So, ShadowSkill and Celtiana left the place and walked for miles... until they reached the spot where his mother was at, since he was only around. Celtiana glanced over ShadowSkill's mother for a long time, before she nodded her head, now this started to make sense to her.
  
  He misses you as well." Celtiana smiled toward ShadowSkill.
  
  He nodded his head, as he started to think that he could tell her anything. It seemed that way, since Celti kept these things to herself. He later on met this fox female named Naokichan. ShadowSkill liked her the moment that black and purple horse brought her to his place, he then introduced himself to her. She just smiled, and told ShadowSkill to call her Naoki. But... it seemed that Naoki was already married, that just made the lion more miserable, and then ShadowSkill tried to do foolish things. ShadowSkill sighed, before walking off to the garden place within that horse's place, wanting so much to drown himself. But it seemed that Celti was there, and she seemed to talk him out of doing such a thing. Lucky that she was there for him, or else he might have went through with it.
  
  The next time he tried to commit suicide was when Naoki told the purple and black horse that ShadowSkill had left to see his parents. Oh how mad that horse was when he heard of such a thing. So that's why ShadowSkill ran off to somewhere else, purposely finding a cliff so that he could leap off of, but he only sat by the edge at that moment. It was odd since Celti had found him, and spoke some sense into that lion, she didn't want her friend to kill himself. When ShadowSkill told Celti about what Naoki had done, she couldn't believe what she heard. Celti so wanted this to not be true, but it seemed the young lion wasn't lying at all.
  
  "There is more things too. He never tended my scars, unless Thor doesn't know how. But then again he also never took this spiked black collar off of me." ShadowSkill stated to Celti.
  
  "No wonder why I always see you so sad, or seeing you try to commit suicide. Even so... he should at least let you visit your parents." Celti replied to him, hugging him very gently.
  
  "Yeah, I know." ShadowSkill nodded, wagging his tail slightly about.
  
  After three or four days later, it seemed that Thorwulfgaer freed a male zebra out of the pens, and they all greeted him. ShadowSkill then learned that the zebra's name is Billy, and he was quite odd since Billy was the first to stand up to Thor! Billy didn't like how Thor was treating his slaves or liones as he called them, since Thor never had let them eat or such things, and Billy was mad about it. Then after this, Thor placed Billy into chains, because he had stood up for himself and the others, and this made the lion very angry.
  
  "I hate chains." ShadowSkill replied, as he looked toward Billy, he only wanted to free the zebra from them. He was an odd one, since he always wanted to be the one getting hurt, rather then seeing others getting hurt.
  
  "Its fine, I'm the one who did this to myself. I shouldn't have said those things, I was wrong. Please, you can't free me, I don't want you getting into trouble because of what I did." Billy replied toward ShadowSkill. He knew the lion didn't like to see him chained up, but what else could he say to him to make him listen? "Thor says I have to keep these chains on for a week." But Billy could barely even move about, since those chains were so tight.
  
  "No, I can't stand others getting hurt, or seeing them in chains." ShadowSkill said gently, as he came closer to Billy. "I want to free you, and if I get in trouble too, then that will be my own fault." ShadowSkill nodded his head, as he looked over the chains, but it didn't seem like there was any locks on it. "I... feel sorry for you, you stood up, since you thought you were right."
  
  "How could I be right? He says that he'll never let others go hungry, even so I often see it happening before my eyes. But... I am wrong, that’s what he said, and these chains are here to remind me that I am wrong. I know you don't like to see me this way, but I say again, please don't help me." Billy stated, as he glanced over at the lion, before placing his head downwards.
  
  All of a sudden Thorwulfgaer appeared in the hall, as he noticed that ShadowSkill was trying to free the zebra, so he pushed ShadowSkill down onto his pillow, then dragged Billy off with him. ShadowSkill was still very angry from this, since he only thought that Billy was just speaking his mind, even so it didn't seem the black and purple horse cared anyhow. After like five days, Billy never shown up again, the lion only thought that Thor might have killed him off or placed the zebra back into slavery. Since ShadowSkill was still angry from the sight, he told Thor that he was going to go out for a walk to try to calm himself down, since it seemed Thor never wanted to calm the lion down himself. Thor let him do so, since he didn't want the lion to go breaking anything within his home, or hurting the others. An odd brownish feline was behind ShadowSkill, even so the lion didn't know of it, the feline then placed his hand into a fist and knocked ShadowSkill unconscious then dragged him off to the Slave Pens.
  
  When Lars Overload walked into the Slave Pens, carrying the lion within his arms, there were three guards whom sat on black pillows. There was also one slaver who was there as well, as she glanced toward Lars wondering what he was up to, or going to do.
  
  "What are you going to do with him?" SnowAngel asked Lars.
  
  "I'm going to put him back where he belongs!" He yelled, then threw ShadowSkill into one of those cells. There seemed to be many cells in a row, maybe 10 or more, who knew?
  
  "Hey, don't hurt him!" SnowAngel yelled back, before running over to the cell that Lars threw the lion into.
  
  "That's what you get you dirty lion!" Lars yelled and stormed out of there.
  
  Those three guards only chuckled after they heard what Lars said, since they thought Lars was the lion's owner. The guards didn't seem to care that Lars had hurt the lion anyhow. ShadowSkill sighed to himself, before he noticed a snow white feline sitting outside of his cell, as he moved closer to her. He was badly injured and it shown too well, even so some of those scars were from TerrorClaws, since Thor never bothered to heal them or anything.
  
  "You're hurt." SnowAngel replied, before biting her lip gently. "I can get you out of here." She whispered to him, as she took a key from out of her pocket, she had stolen it from one of those guards when they were not looking.
  
  She then unlocked his cell, and brought ShadowSkill to a bright sunny spot, within an Elven Sanctuary. She smiled before placing her paw within ShadowSkill's paw. ShadowSkill squinted his eyes since the sunlight was hurting them, but why? The sunlight never hurt his eyes before, or so he thought.
  
  "Oh, right, I forgot." SnowAngel replied, before she led ShadowSkill to a spot where it was snowing. "Is this better?" She asked, before letting go of ShadowSkill's paw. She then danced around and caught some falling snow on her tongue.
  
  ShadowSkill blinked a moment, as she led him to a different spot, he then looked to her as he shivered. He was very cold, and the snow wasn't helping out one bit, since snow was one of his downfalls.
  
  "I don't like snow." ShadowSkill replied, as he kept shivering. "If it puts out the flame on my tail, I can die." He nodded his head toward her.
  
  SnowAngel sighed, taking his paw gently again, and led him up another path. This path led to a mushroom and lots of trees. She then sat him down onto the mushroom, so that he could rest, since it seemed like the lion was panting. Lucky that there was shade from those trees, instead of being in direct sunlight.
  
  "This is better." ShadowSkill replied softly, as he glanced down to his left leg. It was still hurting him, and he was lucky that she was helping him out. This was the first time anyone helped him, well besides StarDust13.
  
  "I have odd powers, by the way call me Snowy. You used to call me Snowy, and you were the only one who ever played with me or noticed that I existed. The other children always made fun of me and you. You were five years old at the time, and I was twelve, I was the only feline out of place. Since I am an arctic cat and I live in snowy places." SnowAngel told him.
  
  "Okay, Snowy." He replied, as he bit onto his lip as he thought to himself then. He never knew her, so how did she know all of this stuff about him? And was she speaking the truth about his past life? Or did someone long ago, erase some of his memories, and left certain ones alone? "I don't remember that, I don't even think I want to school. And if others made fun of me at that age, I would have beaten them up." ShadowSkill nodded, since this was the truth.
  
  "But you didn't beat up anyone, you just came over to me and played with the little dump truck I was playing with. That was the only toy, those other children let me or you have." SnowAngel replied, as she remebred this all to well. But why didn't the lion recall those times as well?
  
  After this, both of them mysteriously end up within the Slave Pens once again, but how did they get here? No one had summoned them here, and they didn't walk back to this place, even so they would never walk back to that horrible place anyhow.
  
  "What happened?" ShadowSkill asked, as he shivered there, he looked very bad at that. Even worse off then he used to be, he even had newer cuts on his body too. Where did those come from and why was he so cold?
  
  SnowAngel seemed to lay close to the bars on the cell that the lion was within, as she placed her paw within his. She had no clue on how they got back here either, but she kept thinking about getting them free. But now, she was even in a cell, so how could she free herself and him as well?
  
  "I don't know, all of a sudden we are back here." Snowy explained, as she kept close to those bars. She did notice that ShadowSkill seemed far worse then he used to. "Maybe those guards found out that I took their key." She replied, since she couldn't think of any other reason.
  
  "Are you alright?" He asked, as he glanced at her now. ShadowSkill didn't want Snowy to be hurt as well, after all he was bad enough as it was. But this feline said that they were friends, maybe Snowy was right. Since for some unknown reason, he couldn't remember it, but why was this for?
  
  "I'm fine." SnowAngel nodded toward him, as she gently rubbed over ShadowSkill's paw that she was holding. "But it appears that something happened to you." She whispered, as she glanced toward him. She really hoped that the lion would get better, and she wondered who had hurt him.
  
  "I just hope that you get out, and get a nice owner." ShadowSkill replied toward her, since it seemed he only got bad owners. He was even owned by TerrorClaws way back when, he was one of the worst owners he had, but that was in his past. "I'll be alright." He whined out, as he tried to sit himself up. He didn't even have the strength to do this, it seemed, so he decided to just keep laying there.
  
  "Why what would happen if you owner was to come here, or send someone else here?" SnowAngel asked. "Will he hurt you?" She questioned, as she hoped that his owner wasn't like that, as she seen someone appear before the lion. Snowy then turned herself invisible there, using her long white cloak to do so, since she wished not to be seen. Well, except that she made it so, the lion could see her, but no one else can. SnowAngel then touched the lion's paw, as she made it so that his cuts wouldn't heal, unless they were a nice owner. If they were not a nice owner then the lion's wounds, wouldn't heal at all.
  
  Celtiania sat down before the pen there, as she glanced toward ShadowSkill within the cell. She then tapped on the bars, saying that she wanted him to move closer. ShadowSkill blinked, before crawling over to her, he was all bloody looking at that.
  
  "Master wants you to come back." Celtiania replied toward him, before placing her hand onto his head. "He says he misses you." She nodded toward him, waiting to see what he would say back.
  
  "So he sent you here?" ShadowSkill asked her, since he had no idea if that male horse had or not. He placed a bloody paw onto one of those bars, as he looked toward her.
  
  No, I came on my own." Celtiania answered him, since she had, and anyhow it was true that Thor was worried about the lion.
  
  "Well, okay then." ShadowSkill replied softly to her. "But what about her?" He asked, before pointing toward Snowy with his bloody paw.
  
  "I don't see anyone else here." Celtiania said, as she glanced around, she only saw ShadowSkill and no one else here. "You must be talking to yourself. Okay, I will summon you then." Celtiania replied, as she left the area.
  
  "Don't worry about me." Snowy whispered to him, but this somehow didn't reach the lion. "I wish you the best of luck." SnowAngel whispered after that, as she watched as ShadowSkill disappeared out of her sight, and right after she had said this too.
  
  ShadowSkill noticed that Celtiania had brought him to the med hall, he just laid down there on that fur, since he couldn't even walk. Thor was also inside of the med hall, before the lion looked over at Celtiania.
  
  "Well, since you got these cuts yourself, I won't heal you." Thor said, as he looked to Celtiania. "And to top it off, You could have gotten her killed! So no food for you, for a week!" He yelled. "Celtiania make sure he doesn't get food for a week." He said to her. "Now, move your fuzzy ass, you bad lion!"
  
  "Besides you could have ignored them and not talked with that person." Thorwulfgaer whispered to ShadowSkill.
  
  ShadowSkill lowered his ears, since he never liked anyone yelling at him, before he glanced over at Celtiania. She sighed before picking him up, since it appeared that he couldn't even walk. She then placed him into the main hall onto his pillow, as she told him to stay there. What was he, a dog?
  
  "Oh goody, I get to starve too." ShadowSkill mumbled out from under his breath, it seemed that only Celtiania was there. "He never helped me before, so I don't even know what he is talking about." He nodded his head, keeping his ears against his skull.
  
  "It's only for a week, it could be worse. I don't get to eat for a whole month, since I went there without master's permission." Celtiania told him, as she glanced at him a little.
  
  "Sorry, it's my fault." ShadowSkill said in a low tone, as he just laid there, since he couldn't do anything else. "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." He said softly, before he begun to cry onto that pillow, even so this was the first time that anyone had even seen him cry.
  
  "ShadowSkill, Celtiania get your asses into the forge! Come here now!" Thorwulfgaer yelled all the way from the forge, and somehow they both heard it, even so they were within the main hall still.
  
  Celtiania sighed, since she was about to leave too, as she picked up the lion again. Then she came into the forge and placed ShadowSkill down before Thor, as she bit onto her lip. Thor looked very mad, his eyes even glowed purple and he held onto a large hammer, before he looked at the lion.
  
  "Why did you go to the Slave Pens boy?" Thor asked, as he glared him down, placing the hammer above ShadowSkill's head. Since he wanted to kill the lion right there, even if Celtiania would have seen it too.
  
  "It's not his fault sir." Celtiania replied slowly, biting her lip again.
  
  "I want him to answer me, not you." Thor growled, as he looked at the lion again. "Well, what is your answer!"
  
  "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I don't even know how I got there. I just need someone that I can love... someone that will care for me. I always wanted someone, I'm very lonely that's all. But... if you want to kill me, I can see why. I cause only trouble, and I'm the one who is to blame for everything, since I always have been." ShadowSkill replied, as he kneeled before Thor, even so the hammer was still above his head. He then started to cry, very, very heavy tears.
  
  "What you just said touched my heart." Thor replied, before he lowered the hammer and made it hit against the floor only lightly. "I wouldn't kill you, and I shall find you someone tomorrow." He said, before glowing bright purple in color, and touched ShadowSkill's head with his hand. Making the lion age one year older, so the boy would be twelve now and maybe old enough for a mate.
  
  But as soon as that horse done so, the lion didn't turn twelve no, instead he turned thirteen. So was there something wrong with the spell Thor used, or was there actually something wrong with ShadowSkill? After this, Thor told Celtiania to return the boy to the main hall, so she did just this.
  
  "Well, I got to leave for the night. Just remember to not eat anything for a week." Celtiania said, as she waved to the lion.
  
  "Bye, and sleep well." ShadowSkill replied slowly, before drying his tears away. He tried to fall to sleep, but all that just happened, he couldn't even seem to doze off.
  
  He later met a blue bunny by the name of Celines Whitepaw, even so she seemed to like another bunny by the name of Sha. That day he met her, Shadowskill told her his name, in return he got to know her name. He got to hear Celines's story on how Sha had saved her out of slavery, ShadowSkill then told her his own. Even so she seemed to completely ignore the fact that he had scars all together, but that wasn't first time anyhow.
  
  "I'm going to see my parents, even so I don't know if I can or not. But please keep this to yourself." ShadowSkill told her.
  
  ShadowSkill was happy to have visited them and seen them once again, but as soon as he got back to that horse's place, things didn't look so good for the lion.
  
  "You're not allowed to go see anyone again, without my permission!" Thorwulfgaer yelled. "You're not allowed to eat for a week, and not allowed to leave your pillow, do you understand!" He yelled once more at the boy.
  
  ShadowSkill just nodded as he curled himself onto his pillow, he knew he had done wrong, but why did Celines tell on him for? Or did she too not want him happy or to see his parents again? It seemed that way; even so that purple and black horse tried to get the lion into worse trouble then he already was in.
  
  "Come and eat with us, ShadowSkill." Thorwulfgaer demanded.
  
  But ShadowSkill only looked toward his owner with an blink of his eye, not even leaving that pillow. "I'm not hungry." ShadowSkill replied after a moment of silence that came from him. It was lucky he did not listen, since who knows what would happen to him there?
  
  After five days, Thorwulfgaer just told ShadowSkill that Celi could be his mate. The poor lion didn't even really get to know the female bunny, and now he got her tossed at him literally too. Soon Celi took the lion's paw and led him to the garden place within Thor's place, it was the only place ShadowSkill seemed fond of. But it seemed that she only wanted one thing... even so the lion was only thirteen years of age, and not really ready for sex. So in other words, Celi raped ShadowSkill, and she didn't even notice that the poor lion kept panting and telling her to stop. The next was the same thing, she yet again raped him, and hurt the poor lion, since he was barely even walking about. No one even noticed it anyhow, so that totally went unnoticed.
  
  It was a bit odd, but after this ShadowSkill went out for a walk, and someone was saying a spell. That spell was of ageing someone else, and he happened to walk over there and get turned into an eighteen year old lion. Maybe now he was ready to have sex, but perhaps he had to find that out himself? So he came back into Thor's place at this age and waved to Celi, she seemed so happy that he was older. They both went into the garden again, since Thor told them that they could have that day for themselves, well that was one good thing that horse ever had done. Celi got naked like all the other times, and laid onto the grass, waiting for him to go onto her. ShadowSkill sighed, before he even climbed onto her, and then they had sex. But for some unknown reason it still hurt ShadowSkill, maybe he couldn't have sex with anyone he started to think.
  
  But after awhile Celi stopped showing up that much, and ShadowSkill became very upset once more. ShadowSkill fell in love with Jamie, but K.Bishopp also loved her as well. But he still got to be with her, Jamie was beautiful according to him and he loved her too. He wanted to stay with her and wanted to be around her, but something was about to change all that for the worse. ShadowSkill smiled as he wrapped his tail around himself, after this K.Bishopp came into the main hall of that horse's place.
  
  "That pillow is mine not yours, you have no right to sit there. But you can for now." K.Bishopp said toward ShadowSkill.
  
  This made ShadowSkill very upset, since he always sat at that black pillow before, and now it wasn't his own anymore. Maybe no one wanted him at this place he thought, so he left after this wolf said this. He then walked down a dark alleyway, a brownish feline jumped out from behind some bushes there.
  
  "You must die!" Lars Overload stated. He growled and took out a knife, which he had hidden inside one of his pockets to his jeans.
  
  "Die, why?" ShadowSkill asked tilting his head to the side, not even noticing the object the other held onto.
  
  "Because my master told me to." Lars Overload chuckled out, and stepped a little closer but stayed within the darkness of the alley.
  
  "Okay.. so if your master told you to jump off a cliff will you do it?" ShadowSkill asked puzzled by the other.
  
  "Well, of course I will! I have to obey my master and serve my master." Lars Overload growled louder as he caught ShadowSkill off guard, taking the knife and making it cut against the lion's left leg
  
  After a moment ShadowSkill yelped in pain from his left leg, as he started to limp on it. Lars seen this as he knew this was the best time to hand him over into slavery, as he did just that.

• The Evil Slaver

  This also went down after the K.Bishopp factor, the guards placed him into chains, they seemed to chain him to the wall, even his tail was inside of a shackle. These chains seemed pretty tight as well; the more he seemed to struggle the tighter the chains got. ShadowSkill wore nothing but rags, with scars along both of his legs. There was also scars along his chest, but no one could see these, since the rags did cover them and all.
  
  After an hour or two had past when someone had finally sat before him there, this one was quite different then the rest. At least ShadowSkill didn't get to hear what are you good at again, for like the hundredth time. It seemed this one paid for him as well, but had a leash placed around his collar and shackles were still on his hand paws and feet paws. The other didn't seem to notice the scars on both of his legs though; but then again the other's goggles were in the way. The other seemed to led him to the slave training place, not knowing why he was led here for, but he was.
  
  After some time this guy seemed to take a hammer but lightly hit on both of his knees to see if he had reflexes and it seemed the lion did indeed. But after that he hit both of the knees harder breaking them, after this he took a cork and placed it into his right shoulder. Making a giant tear in it, and he did the same to his other shoulder as well. Finally after some time, ShadowSkill seemed to have died there like that; the other didn’t like this since it seemed he died too soon. The lion’s body caught up in flames afterwards as the other stood in shock, also he had his own problems trying to get rid of the sparks.
  
  ShadowSkill's powers seemed to take effect right after the slaver placed the second cork screw into his left shoulder. For in last moment attempts ShadowSkill made sparks circle over his form, which the slaver placed within the chains against that wall. But the slaver didn't seem to notice the sparks flying, as he wanted to finish the lion off, but just then sparks flew before that slaver.
  
  "There has to be a reason you want to live, someone you want to live for. Like someone who you care for." That slaver replied as he placed ShadowSkill's arms into the chains, making sure they were very tight. He was really good at making others in pain, as he seen this in that lion. But it didn't seem ShadowSkill wanted to live, why was this, that slaver wondered. "You see someone hired me to get rid of you." he said after this, as he stepped backwards noticing the sparks. Batting at them to try to make them go away, as he watched the body against the wall go up in flames. He then wondered to himself if he had done something wrong now, or if he should have killed this one off. After all he killed that lion right?
  
  ShadowSkill thought about what that slaver had said, there was a few people he would live for indeed. Those were Koba, Jamie, and parents of course. Even so the lion seemed to learn a new spell called Lightning Strike, as he casted it at this slaver, but then he started to doubt that anyone the rest cared about him. The only ones he known for certain that cared was his own parents! After that the slaver only remembered seeing ashes on the floor, since the lion caught on flames. Actually ShadowSkill's death wasn't in vein, since Severed Meat had killed the lion, but the lion's overwhelming powers had killed that slaver. ShadowSkill died from that slaver on January 21, 2006, but after he had died SnowAngel seemed to chant a spell on the dead lion's body, focusing on her powers within her own being. She had finally got Shadow's soul back into his body, since without that he would remain dead. Even so his foster parents had also helped him out as soon as he died, and even his own powers had since they had awakened. Three days later, ShadowSkill decided to come back to Thor's place, even so the lion was now back to life, ShadowSkill even heard that Severed Meat died on January 22, 2006, that was the day after the lion had died on. But it seemed that the purple and black horse thought that the lion said that they had both died on the same day, which was rather confusing to ShadowSkill.

• Upsetting News

  A darkness seemed to go over Shadow as he was brought back from the dead, and he even wanted to see Jamie still... since he still loved her. Also the fact was when ShadowSkill met Jamie his green star on his forehead vanished... meaning his end was near. ShadowSkill entered into Tyr's place, since Jamie told him that she wanted to see him again. It seemed poor ShadowSkill was in tears when he was outside of the gate, since he knew what he had done was wrong, and made everyone worried sick about him. The mean fact was they didn't even know he had died and got brought back to life, well all except for Jamie since he had told her that in whispers. Tyr let the lion enter it seemed, and told ShadowSkill to see Jamie. So he went ahead to do that, so he walked into the main hall where she was at and sat next to her.
  
  But it seemed that Jamie was ignoring him for some reason, so he wanted to ask her what was bothering her and this is what she had to say for herself.
  
  "I don't want to see you ever again, you upset me a whole lot. You caused this, and its your fault." Jamie whispered to ShadowSkill.
  
  That torn him in two, leaving him with a broken heart... he didn't want to ever come back after this day. But the odd thing was he came three days after she had done this to him, and she seemed to still ignore him completely. But ShadowSkill knew it was his own fault, and told Jamie that maybe he should have stayed dead... then everyone would be much happier. Jamie didn't speak when he said this, even so the lion was in tears once more, it was like only her that was in pain... when he himself was too. ShadowSkill soon left Tyr's place for good after the third day there, since he knew he wasn't wanted or welcome there any longer... besides they probably cared less that he had a broken heart!
  
  He really did love Jamie too, he didn't understand why she pushed him aside now, though she did also love that K.Bishopp guy as well. He knew what Jamie was even.. he didn't care that she was a vampire, he really loved her greatly, from this day forward he never wanted to be around women again! He didn't trust them any longer, now he only wanted love from someone else, someone that would love him in return, but who could love him after this all happened? But, his memory was erased once he was brought back by SnowAngel due to the horrible events ShadowSkill had witnessed, but will his memory return? Or will he always recall the last parts of his life?
