Gerion+Sha

Gerion Sha was born to two assassins. They had deep seeded Shadow powers, as well as extensive training in the arts of execution. The two used the code names Wolfe and Hound. They met under a starry sky on orders to execute one another, but after fighting for hours at end they fell in love. They were equal in strength, magic, and agility. In every way they balanced each other and understood one another. They hid in a system of caves along the Silver Isle for three years, surviving off of scraps they had stolen or found. In the end though, a prominent group of assassins and thieves known as The Smiling Knives were sent to hunt them down and kill them. They succeeded, but upon the murder of the two, a squalling boy was heard and found in the corner of the cave in swaddling clothes. He appeared to be about a year old. The Smiling Knives, having the belief that to kill innocence is an abomination, took in the boy and raised him. They gave him the name Gerion, the believed name of The Shadow, from legend. They taught him how to fight, immeasurable knowledges, and stealth. He became a prodigy and quickly progressed beyond even his masters. Eventually he became the second in command of the Smiling Knives, behind Randon. Randon was in most senses a father to Grey and a wise middle aged man. Randon taught Grey secrets in the ways of attaining knowledge, and understanding true meaning. When Gerion reached the age of 15, he was ordered to complete his first execution. He waited on the roof of a large mansion owned by a rich man. He had been ordered to take the life of one Rast Jentur, nicknamed Rasty. When night fell upon the manner Gerion slowly scaled down the house and climbed into the window landing as silent as a cat. He snuck through the manner and overheard a conversation between two servants in the kitchen. They said that they had seen Rasty in the garden and wondered what was wrong. Going on this information Grey went to the garden and in the moonlight he saw a women standing alone, pale in the moonlight with shimmering golden hair. "Hello," she whispered, "come closer why don't you?" Grey slowly stepped through the plants into the moonlight. She turned, her eyes blue as the ocean and breathed, "I'm ready, I've been waiting, for you." Perplexed Grey just remained quiet and listened, for listening is the gateway to insight. "You have come to end me, no? It's okay I understand I've done terrible things and I deserve this. Just end it. It's okay, I give you permission." A tear flowed down her face and Grey ended it. It was clean, not too much blood, and it was painless. He took a strand of hair and delivered it to The Smiling Knives without a word. In his absence though, Randon had gone on his own mission, and it was reported that he had been killed by a mage. Gerion in a fit of rage locked himself in a tower, only leaving to eat, until one day Randon's brother came to him. He told Grey of his parents, and of their fate. The combination of the death of Randon, the weight of his parents death, and his first execution, let loose a storm. Tendrils of shadow began to spread from Grey, so black and malicious as sharp as razors. In a moment he had killed the man who had delivered the news, he then ran through the tower and fought men one by one, taking lives that had blood on them. Slice, duck, jab, kill, eventually everything becomes a rhythm and Grey soon held the lives of one hundred men. Until he came across the Five. They were strongest of the Knives, each mastering a type of magic. Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Light joined against one boy. Grey ran into a room that resembled a circle where they stood, there was a deck above them that led to the second floor, and a large circular table with six chairs, the sixth being for a Shadow master, but a Shadow user hadn't existed for 16 years, since the Wolfe and Hound died. The Five sat in these chairs and Grey came in looking beastly with a monster of darkness encircling him. They all stood at once and began to conjure their magic. Grey flipped onto the table and stood on high ground in the center of The Five. They all shot their elements into the center and he jumped a sphere had formed below him, of pure uncontrollable power, and Grey added his Magic to it, he took a wisp of his shadows and placed it on the outside sphere. As The Five loaded for a second attack, Grey grabbed the sphere and felt the energy coarse through him, with it he became faster than light, lighter than air, stronger than earth, calmer than water, and wilder than fire. In a moment he stood frozen in time. He felt time's shackles loosen and he broke free. He cuffed the hands of the light mage and sent his own energy recoiling into him, until he was nothing. The Four then took a second to equate their loss, and the Fire mage broke out. He lashed tongues of hot flame at Grey. Grey took his hands and grabbed at the hot tongues taking the whips into his hands and pulling the mage towards him, in a breath he sent darkness into the man. He reached into the mans heart and expunged light, replaced it with darkness and the man crippled to the ground. The Three balanced themselves and stood in a triangle around Grey. Earth summoned his strength and was coated in rock. Water summoned her power and was coated in ice. Air summoned her power and was protected by wind. The Three then combined their powers and forced them into Grey, but with the sphere inside of him the elements were already contained and to Grey they held the strength of regular people. The monstrosity around him swirled and sliced their souls from their bodies. In minutes one boy ended five of the most powerful elemental masters ever known. He had obliterated an underground society. In that moment the darkness surrounding him entered into him. He became a master of shadow, by blending with his own. He collapsed their amongst the bodies and he himself was little more than that, just a body with a scrap of a soul. One day he would become much more than that but that day his evil won out. He was found walking through the poor districts of Pretium in a dark grey cloak. He sensed them walking behind him. Mercenaries. Sent to kill him for the justice he had brought. When he turned however, quick as lightning, there was only the hustle and bustle of the street. He began to run, knowing those that chased him weren't your average head hunter. They were Shades, cast by the Mage of light. For Shades are a gift of light, but Grey had one better. As the Shades began to whisper in his ear, and grab at his cloak, he ran into a wall. However he moved right through the shadows cast by the sun and entered the Void. An empty darkness with just bits of light jutting in haunting figures. It seemed like the reverse of the world, only shadows where light and light was shadow. The other difference Gerion felt was his speed, he moved as fast as sound, though the only sound he heard was the mumblings of the shadow people. He would run to his favorite shadow. His best hiding place. A cave in the base of the volcanic Mt. Essia. There he would wait out the shades sent to trace him. However this time, he noticed something, the shades had somehow followed him. He began to run faster and faster, pushing the limits of time, and light but the shades just kept pursuing. When he looked ahead he realized he had no idea where he was. He had never moved past the isles of Pretium when shadow traveling. He began to see the light of inverted shadows up ahead. And he dived into the first one he saw. He was immediately bewildered. Staring around he saw many slopes so high he wouldn't be able to ever reach their peaks. He thought he may be somewhere in the middle of the Impassable Mountains. Possibly in a valley. The world he saw around him however wasn't at all like the frozen peaks people had used to describe them. They were beautiful, and the valley he was in was filled with beautiful flowers, tall grasses, and a warm breeze. When he turned he saw the single tree that had cast the shadow. The Shades didn't seem capable of following him here into the bright sun. So he lay beneath the tree and fell asleep. When he woke up morning had come and he chanced his travel back to Pretium. He entered the shadow of the tree and traveled back to Pretium, carefully following his memory. Somehow he made it back to the Silver Isle, and walked through the light of Pretium's slums. As he walked around he suddenly felt darkness over his head and realized he hadn't escaped his pursuers. This time however he couldn't escape. The Shades possessed him and made him move south to the Tower of Light. When he arrived he was immediately taken hold of and brought to the uppermost cell that had been cast with a luminescence charm, so there were never any shadows. There he was held captive for five days, with little water, and less food. On the sixth night the Mage of Light came in and read to him his crimes, and explained how his execution would take place, in two days. However on the seventh night, a shadow was cast. By a man in the window, his silhouette in the moonlight cast one sliver. From his lips tumbled but a few words, "Call me The Fox. I think you owe me." Grey, then being a man of less words than actions nodded, and dove into the shadow, dropped to the bottom of the tower and ran through the dwindling shadow world.
