The Awakening
Chapter 1 : A Little History Lesson
Mallory came from a powerful family, but their use of magick would end with the death of her mother Windracer for there was no one to teach Mallory about the gift that she possessed. Her father, Kliffton McMallard was a rigorous drake and new about the deadly path that magick would lead to if his only daughter ever thought of following it. So, because of his worry and dedication to the little bundle that Windracer had died to bring into the world, he made a rule that no one was allowed to break, the word magick would never be spoken in the house or around his daughter.
Kliffton would later go on to marry a young woman he met at a local Military event. She would give him two more children, both boys. Mallory remained his favorite, and for this, Kliffton's new wife always tried in vain to make life impossible for her stepdaughter. Luck was always on Mallory's side, until that one fateful day that she would meet up with Nightshade Darkshadow.
Mallory was not allowed to go to public schools, she was home schooled, and once she was old enough she was sent to the military academy, where she took after her father and excelled in all she did. Mallory became the perfect little soldier. She never disobeyed an order and gave it her best, a full 100% and then some. Then came the day that Canard, Wildwing and Nosedive showed up and asked the fiery red head to join the Strike Team, she did. Not much later she would find herself in an entirely new type of battle, one she didn't know how to fight.
Nightshade Darkshadow had once lived in the same time as Mallory's Great-Grandmother Skysong. The evil duck had taken an instant attraction to Skysong. He wanted to make her his own, but Skysong wanted nothing to do with him. She was going to marry Darkskies, the drake she truly loved. A great battle ensued and Nightshade was thrust into the Dark Realms, where he stayed for countless years until Dragaunus released him, on Earth.
Nightshade tried to lure Mallory to him, promising to teach her about her gift. She rebuked him at every opportunity. Windracer paid her daughter a visit and told her about the great gift she possessed and why Nightshade was now after her. Mal was the spitting image of what Skysong had once looked like. Mal couldn't believe what she was hearing, but in an argument with Wildwing she discovered that what her mother told her was true. She sent Wildwing into a wall with a small burst of magickal energy.
Nosedive, Duke and now Wildwing were all in the infirmary now and the Mighty Ducks were down to two ducks with another one AWOL-Mallory. Mallory returned to the Pond after a brief conversation with her mother, but just moments later Drake 1 reported teleportation energy, Wildwing and Duke were feeling better by this time, but Nosedive was still out of commission. Tanya stayed at the Pond to keep an eye on Nosedive and the rest of the ducks went to see what was going on.
Mallory was stabbed by Nightshade when she once again refused to join him. A few hours later she collapsed after reviving Nosedive, healing him with her weak Magick skills, with the help of her dead mother.
