I own the names and characters in the story.
***Shotgun fires***
Blackdusk wakes up, cursing that it is too early for the next group to come to Mystic Outland. Taking a seat behind his desk, Blackdusk thought back to the first day that he arrived in Mystic Outland.
Year 1920
Blackdusk and his best friend, Billy, were standing outside the First National Bank in Texas. They were about to pull the biggest heist to date. Pulling on their bandanas, they went over the escape plan. After agreeing to meet at the saloon two towns over, they pulled their guns and went into the bank. Everything was going smoothly until they got ready to leave and Billy shot the girl behind the counter twice. When they reached the saloon, Blackdusk was pissed.
Blackdusk: That wasn't part of the plan, Billy.
Billy: What is your problem? We got away, didn't we? You act like we are supposed to be nice about the things we do. You're getting soft on me Blackdusk. There was a time when you would have done the same thing to all of them.
Blackdusk: I don't know, Billy. You seem to be getting a little too reckless lately for my taste. I think that it is time that we reconsider our lives.
Blackdusk: You might be onto something there. But let's discuss this at the hideout so as to not draw unnecessary attention to ourselves.
As they walked out of the saloon and went to their horses, Billy drew his gun and shot Blackdusk twice in the back. Billy saddled his horse, took the money and rode off into the sunset.
When Blackdusk woke up, he was in the sheriff's office of the town.
Blackdusk: Where am I?
Sheriff: Welcome to Mystic Outland.
Blackdusk: What am I doing here?
The sheriff explained that Blackdusk had just died two days ago and that Blackdusk was to stay in Mystic Outland until his future had been decided. Blackdusk vowed to get revenge on Billy before his verdict is decided. Sheriff just smiled because Blackdusk reminded him of himself when he first got to Steel Haven.
Over the next few years, the sheriff took Blackdusk under his wing and showed him the ropes. Over time, Blackdusk forgot about Billy and his revenge. Ten years ago, the sheriff's verdict was decided. Blackdusk was chosen by the Powers That Be to take over the sheriff's office.

Confused by the second shot, Blackdusk came out to see his deputy running toward him with a message from the Powers That Be.
"Blackdusk, it has come to our attention that some of our charges are dying before their time. Your job is to find out why this is happening. The only clue we have is that it has something to do with Shadow Realm. Report back with your findings.
'Powers That Be'"
"Shadow Realm, uh?" Blackdusk had heard of this place and wasn't looking forward to having to dealing with being on Earth again just to be an errand boy for the two chump 'Powers That Be'. Unfortunately, he had his orders to carry out. After informing the deputy that he is in charge until Blackdusk gets back, Blackdusk makes the long trek to the carriage that transports people from Earth to Mystic Outland.
