.:Prologue:.
Some hundreds of years ago...
Marissa paced quietly, pulling her lip nervously. Her minions, Huntshadows, kneeled devoutly off to the side. The Huntshadows were not people. They were what they were called. Shadows. She had accidentally created them, trying to make herself invincible, which didn't work out so well from the large burn she carried on her left arm. Her dragon skull helmet laid on her bed, as with her usual Huntsmistress attire. She was the first woman to rule the Huntsclan. She had her long blonde hair pulled up in a tight ponytail and her sapphire blue eyes were bloodshot. Fifteen dragon corpse hung on the wall, showing what she had already killed during her rein. Two other dragons were resting in her dungeons, waiting for nothing but death. But, for now, she couldn't kill them. She had much more things too worry about. Especially the Dragon Council.
They, surely, was now planning her death. She had become to much of a threat towards the dragons. She had mused over her thoughts of what they would do to her for days, not earning any sleep from the horrible, gruesome nightmares. She glanced up at her wall. On the wall, hung tapestries that had been handed down by each Huntsmaster, and now Huntsmistress. There were tapestries with dragons killing the Huntsclan. Huntsclan killing dragon and other magical creatures. She turned back from the tapestry of a large red dragon blowing fire against a trapped Huntsmaster, who look absolutely horrified. She turned her gaze on to her fellow creations. If she died, they would disappear into the shadows. Unless she was risen from the dead.
"Well, you know my time is short. I want you to cause as much havoc and mayhem as you possibly can to any dragons. But especially the Dragon Council. Have I made myself clear?" She asked the Huntshadows. They nodded. She pointed to the two biggest, and oldest Huntshadows. "You two, stay here. Dismissed." She said. The Huntshadows dissolved into the ground and the two Huntshadows stood up and walked up to Marissa. "I want you to stay with me, protect me. And warn me if they are coming." She said. They nodded. One of them disappeared while the other one followed Marissa out of her room.
Marissa walked towards the library and pulled out a book. It was about Egyptian people who were killed for their secret powers. She flipped to page 458. It was about this servant named Suldaken. It said he sold his soul to the devil to have mysterious powers. He became of the most powerful man for forty years, till some priest killed him. But, not before Suldaken killed him. It said he made a necklace that had more powers than Suldaken himself. It could rise people from the dead, turn wheat to maggots, water to fire. Everything. Marissa remembered that they were taking Suldaken and his necklace to the brand new museum downtown. Maybe she could steal it from them. Yes, she would. And she would become ultra powerful. She laughed loudly, snapping the book shut and cramming it on the already stuff shelf. The Huntshadow laughed, for it was only the best thing to do if you didn't know what to do when she was laughing. She turned towards the Huntshadow. "Silence." She spat. The Huntshadow hung it's head. Marissa only laughed again.
This was the last happy thought in her life. She was never able to steal Suldaken's necklace, for she was killed the next day. Though, she and her Huntshadows fought well, they failed. She never expected fifty dragons swarming into her house, blowing fire and fighting. From all the Huntsmasters, she was one of the best. So, now her Huntshadows wait for someone to bring her back to life.
I know this is extremely short but the next chapter will be longer, I think. It will be in Jake's time so don't worry! Does anyone know of that beetle's name that brings people to life? I think it is from Episode Act 4, Scene 15 or something. Please Review!
