Shadow is one of the few survivors of her country which was torn apart by a rebellion that spread to surrounding countries. It is up to her and the people she meets along to end the darkness before it spreads to other worlds.
 



Shadow stood on the once green hill, far above the valley that had once
been beautiful.  The now black and charred earth had once born springy 
grass and blazing flowers, but now it was only a reminder of the 
horrible turn the world had taken.  Her mind flew to the event that had 
taken place here only ten months ago, yet it seemed an eternity. 

It was supposed to be a peace rally, but members of the Dark Regime had
snuck in, posing as peace supporters.  They were only there to stir up 
trouble and stir up trouble they did.  When Lady Rayne had raised her 
hands for an uproar of peace, a maddening amount of people cried 'War'. 
 Those 'war' criers were the Dark Regime and several peace spreaders 
were outraged.  They attacked the Dark Regime who fought viciously but 
by the time the dust had settled, the peace rally had been turned into 
a massacre.  More than half of the attendees lay on ground, their blood 
soaking the grass dark red.  Most of the Dark Regime had been killed in 
their plot, but those that weren't, spread fire across the valley.  At 
the time, nobody knew that the Dark Regime had initiated it, they 
blamed those that begged for peace. 

Everyone suspected each other and rather than uniting against the Dark
Regime, the country began to tear apart and squabble amongst 
themselves.  The Dark Regime didn't even really need weapons when 
finally they marched into the country, everything had already gone to 
hell.  They took the people  who hadn't decided to kill each other and 
enslaved them, but a few, including Shadow, escaped their clutches. 

That was how Shadow came to stand on the now brown hill, her dark red
hair fanning around her head with the breeze that stirred the ashes.  
The Dark Regime had not stopped with her country, but had moved onward 
to the next countries.  She knew why they were conquering the world, 
they were collecting the pieces of a broken doorway.  The doorway when 
put back together opened a series of doorways that took you to other 
worlds.  It had seemed too great of a threat to have the doorways 
opened so it had been dismantled and spread to the other countries.  
Now the Dark Regime was attempting to put it together again and conquer 
all worlds.  She had decided to stop them, she didn't know how yet, but 
eventually she would figure it out. 

With sadness but determination in her heart, she turned away from the
valley, which had been the start of it all.  It seemed like this was 
too much weight for a woman like her to bear, but she would not back 
down.  It was her duty to stop the power hungry monsters, who had 
destroyed her home from destroying so much more.
