Chapter 1: Prologue

Okay, well this is my first story, so i hope you enjoy it. heheh, I'm such a big soul eater Fangirl ;D anyways, this story is going to follow the original manga, and not the anime. if you only watched the anime, then you can still get most of this, but there will be some things you don't understand towards the end.

This story is somewhat based on another story i was thinking about writing, and i will probably do so later, but i thought it would be a perfect twist for the story. anyway, here's my twist:

There are eighteen angels that live as immortals to protect and balance the world. eight angels of virtue, and eight angels of sin. my character is the granddaughter of the angel of Darkness, which is the strongest of all the angels. she is also a shadow meister, which is someone who can manipulate shadows, and the shadow realm. i have a lot more ideas for later, but overall, i though i should make that clear.

oh, one more thing. this story will not join the manga plot line right off the bat. i would estimate around chapter 3 or so... ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I do not own the general soul eater world, only my original characters.


Chapter 1: Prologue

I stood at the shore of my mothers island, watching the heavy, black water crash against the black sand. My mother said the demons poisoned the water with their presence, and that they no longer left because the water made them stronger. The other demons came to the shore often when they were tired. I didn't fear the demons. They were my friends, and I was their princess. My mother was their queen. She was the daughter of the angel of sin. I shared her legendary blood, but I was also a shadow meister. She said people like me were rare, and shadow meisters were feared along with Kishin. We were silent killers, born with blood lust, and masters of the shadow realm. we could kill so easily, and no one would know, because no one could see it. Well, almost no one. Shinigami's could see us, and those with the "angel" soul could see our shadows.

I lived on a sort of "home base" for the shadow demons. I was just myself, my mother, Violet, and my weapon partner, Zero, Prince of the shadows. Zero was amazing. He could take virtually any weapon form imaginable, and he was so cool. He wore a full body suit, and a mask, so you can't see his face. He doesn't speak either, so you don't know what he sounds like. He speaks to me telepathically. His shadow, Alex speaks for him if he must. My shadow is Riley, the twin brother of Alex. They aren't actually our shadows, they are shadow demons, but they lie in our shadows, and give our shadow shape. They posses them really. Our shadows bear conscious, but they can't do anything without our help.

They provided me with most of my entertainment, but I visited the other shadows too. All shadows can create a human form, but most prefer their true form. They have more powers, and look much scarier in their true forms. That's why most people are scared of them. Some of them are mean, but some of them are nice. There are the positive shadows and the negative shadows.

The positive shadows feed form positivity, and are very nice. They tend to be more defense based, and also tend to be more brain, rather than brawn. They are usually slightly smaller in size, and smoother in appearance. The negative shadow feed from negativity, and are usually very angry, violent people. They tend to be more offense based, and go for brawn over brain, although they are still smart. They are usually larger in size, and have a more jagged, rough and tough appearance. They usually look highly threatening. Shadows are either negative or positive, and the more of their side there is present, the stronger they become. The strongest emotion present has influence over their behavior. If there is enough negativity, a positive demon can temporarily fall into despair and bursts of anger, and the opposite is true for the negative demons.

Overall, the demons treat me well.

A small breeze blew across the black shore, and my dark violet hair stirred slightly. I watched the black water. Boats never sailed into the black tide. We were separate from the rest of the world. Whenever boats entered black tide, the demons of the water took them under, and then ate their souls. We couldn't stop it, and people learned, and so black tide became a place of fear and rumors, only a shadow meister could sail a ship through the water, and they were quite rare. One had made it to the island once. He had brought a small army of humans with him, and my mother killed him, and the shadows ate everyone else. My mother is very protective of her island. It was ours, and ours alone. The shadow realm was all mine. Humans will die if they stay in the shadow realm too long. Shadows, and shadow meisters won't. It's our safe place. My mother even had trouble being in there too long.

My mother had asked me to go to a place out in the united states. I had a palace out there. My mother built it with the shadows when I was about to be born. I go there often, but she told me to go out there to do some tasks. I would be out there for a very long time, but I didn't care. I liked being alone in my personal haven. I had a lot of shadows out there, and it was fun to do my own thing.

I was going out there to find some things, and to do some research on a school out in Nevada. I think she said it was called the Death Weapon Meister Academy, or something like it. She also told me to gather information on the witches at their next witch mass. Shadow meisters were allowed to go to witch mass, because we also possess strong magical powers, even though shadow meisters and witches are quite different. The witch queen seemed to have quite the interest in shadow meisters.

"Z! you're mother want to see you before you go!" Castor called, running down the beach to me. Castor was in his human form. He looked human, besides how he dressed. He wore a lion suit, so he looked like he was half human-half tiger. He was a Linioux, which is pretty much the shadow version of a Liger. There true form was a giant lion, with a mane of needle, two massive saber fangs, large paws with giant claws, and a spike ball tail, and they were huge, three or four times the size of a tiger. They are very fast and agile, and very strong.

"Okay. Are you going to take me?" I said. Castor nodded, and he phased into his shadow form. I grabbed his soft made and climbed up onto his back. He shook his head, and his made became thousands of tiny needle. He launched forward, pounding along the ground.

I quickly arrived home, where my mother was standing in the clearing waiting for me. "what is it?' I called.

"I wanted to say goodbye. Stay safe, and be careful. I know of at least three people who will be able to see your shadows in Death City, so try not to kill anyone needlessly. Only kill Kishin eggs. They're no reason for you to kill someone, and expose yourself. When you enroll in the school, you may want to consider another weapon partner, so that you will blend in easier. And remember to have fun too. Don't forget what you're going there for. Keep you're level four soul protect up, and keep you're hat on. Don't irritate the angels. One of them lives in death city. I'm sure you'll figure out who it is pretty quickly. Come here and give me a hug, Z." Violet crooned.

I gave her a quick hug. "i Love you mom." I said.

"i love you too, honey. Oh! One more thing. You're father will be around Death city somewhere, but you won't know him. He doesn't know you exist. Just don't talk about me or this land. Watch what you say to anyone, and don't say something stupid that would expose you." Violet said, patting my shoulder. She pulled my hat down a little. "don't hide your soul completely. Someone might notice, so leave 5 down. But try not to drop the fourth one. You don't want to seem out of the ordinary. Bye." My mother crooned happily. She kissed my forehead. I blushed, and ducked off into the forest where I could open up a portal.

When I found another small clearing where the sun shown, I turned so that I was looking directly at my shadow. I held my hands out, and quickly opened the portal with my abilities. "shaama shaaka blanca black" I opened, and my shadow wavered, and then opened up. Looking at it, I could see the shadow realm. It was black, with purple swirls, and you could see some shadows swimming around. I stepped onto it, lifted my foot, and brought it down forcefully, shattering the top, opening the portal. I slowly sunk into it, until I was completely submerged.

I floated in the shadow realm for a moment, thinking of where Nevada would be.

The shadow realm is a place that connects all places, and all dimensions. You can pick a place, and the realm will guide you, or you can swim around until you find a place you think looks interesting. The shadow realm is a very strange place indeed. You can breathe in in, and it comes out as bubbles, just like if you breathed out in water. You can stand on it, and it feels solid, but when you move, it's just like water. Very strange.

I closed my Eyes and envisioned my palace, and I could feel the realm tug me in the right direction. I whistled, and a massive shadow serpent swam up to me. I grabbed onto it's top fin, and held on as it took me to where I wanted to go. Time passed quickly to me, but in reality times passed slower in the shadow realm. For every hour, only ten minutes actually passed in the surface world. For every minute, it was only ten seconds. It added to the beauty of my world. I could spent all the time I wanted in their, and not nearly half as much time had actually passed.

Soon I was where I wanted to be. I left the serpent, and swam to the surface, and reached out into the surface world. I pulled myself up, and stood up as the portal vanished. I was at the edge of my forest. It was also infested with shadows, so people left it be, never imagining that someone might live there. Explores and adventurer's often visited the forest, and the shadows ran them off, only killing them if they refused to leave. It was my home away from home. It was very nice, and I loved it as much as my island.

I entered the forest, and a Linioux offered me a ride to my palace. I accepted, and was soon at the heat of the forest, walking up to my house. I loved it dearly, and I loved that it was so symmetrical. I liked clean cut, smooth, lines. So of course I liked symmetry. A shame everything couldn't look so even and balanced. But that merely added to the appeal of beauty.

I quickly walked up the steps, and opened the door. I walked inside, and Alex and Riley materialized beside me. "It's good to be back. This place feels more like my home than your mothers house." Alex said, grinning deviously, laying down on the couch. Riley sighed. "I'm glad that you brought us. I do like it here. It's very peaceful and calm. Very relaxing. And I get to do the cooking! Your mother never lets me help in the kitchen at her place." Riley said, smiling brightly. "oh shut it, you idiot." Alex growled, scowling.

I sighed, shaking my head as my weapon took his human form. He pulled his mask off, revealing his smooth, and very pale face. He pulled his hood back, his blue hair seeming glad to be free. He brushed it out of his eyes. His sharp blue eyes scanned the room. His eyes were two colored, like mine. Lighter on the outside and darker in the middle, the same with mine. The only difference was his eyes were blue and mine were dark green.

"Hey buddy." Alex said, yawning. Zero looked at him for a moment. "nothing? Fine, you jerk." Alex growled. Riley said and shook his head.

"go to bed. I start school tomorrow and I want you all with me." I said with a sigh.

"yes malady." They all said, and went to their rooms. Zero walked me to my room, and stood in the doorway as I sat on my bed. "you can come in if you want, Big Z." I said, smiling.

"are you sure you're okay? You don't want me to stay?" Zero mumbled, sitting down next to me.

"I'm Fine, Really. I can handle myself." I mumbled. Zero looked me in the eye for a second, and then left, closing the door behind him.

I sighed, and lied down, quickly falling asleep.
