First, let me try and explain the background of these characters. Xeo (from Rage Street) is a half-elf who destroyed his hometown of Grove (an elfin city) before being banished to live with his father (a dark magician and leader of the Magicians gild). Xeo was presumed dead after his final battle with his mortal enemy. His sister (Raven) is the one who is mostly responsible for Xeo's "death". Lana and Lantic (Shadow Town High) are half brother and sister. They live together after their parent's death. Kuma is Lana's openly bisexual best friend. I guess that's the best I can do. Enjoy.

Chapter 1. Broken Angel and The Dream

It was just another stormy day in Shadow Town and Lana Zance was walking home alone. She had just had a fight with her half brother, Lantic, and was looking to let off a little steam. She stopped to look at the sky and whispered, "Why can't every day be so beautiful?" Than a blinding light appeared in the middle of the sky and something fell from it and landed in the woods on the side of the road. She ran to the side of the road to see what had fallen.

"What was that?"

"It looked like a person"

Lana jumps and turns to see Kuma, her egotistical best friend, looking at the sky.

"Jesus, Kuma, you scared the hell out of me!"

Kuma ignores Lana and steps off the road into the edge of the woods and looks back at Lana. Than smiles and grabs Lana's forearm and pulls her along into the woods.

"Come on Lana, Maybe it was an angel. Or someone who's been shot through time like Kanada!"

"Kuma, I'm never letting you watch Akira again. And even if it was an angel or a person, the fall had to kill them."

Lana and Kuma come to the edge of a crater where the body had hit. A boy in his teens was lying in the basin on his back. He was out cold. Kuma jumps into the basin without giving a look back at Lana. She slides down to him and lifts his head and moves his long white hair out of his face.

"Hey, He's kind of cute. What the hell?"

Lana runs up to see what Kuma is looking at. There's a pentacle imprint that's been burned onto the palm of his left hand and a pentagram on his right hand. Lana rips a piece of her shirt off and starts wiping the blood off of his face. Kuma checks his pulse.

"He's still breathing. Maybe he is an angel."

"Kuma, he's in bad shape, should we get him to a hospital or something?"

"Are you crazy? If we take him to a hospital they'll ask us all kinds of questions and lock us up for saying that he just fell out of the sky."

"Fine, We'll take him back to my house and give him first aid there."

The young man sits up. Than jumps out of the basin and looks all around him. He looks down and sees that his leg is broken, and than resets the bone and looks at the girls. He takes another look around. He looks down at his hands and runs a finger over the pentagram on his right palm. Kuma and Lana climb back out of the basin and run over to him.

"Oh my god, did you really just set that bone back into place? I mean, um, are you all right."

"I'm fine. Where am I?"

"You're in shadow town, about 3 blocks from the high school. Who are you?"

"Kuma, we need to get him some help. We can talk about all this later, he needs to relax and heal."

"I said I'm fine. My name is Xeo. Are you sure I'm in shadow town? I've never seen this place before and I've been over every inch of the area around the school. Never mind, do you know what happened to Raven?"

Kuma and Lana look at each other with a puzzled look. Than Lana walks over to him and takes his arm and pulls him along.

"Come now, I've lived here all my life and I've never heard of anyone named Raven. Lets go to my house so you can rest. You may have hit your head harder than I thought. You can stay with me until you get better."

"Yeah, Lana is a great cook and I can help you find out about this Raven person. Everything will be okay once you heal up a little bit."

"How can you not know my little sister? She's one of the most feared of all my Verts."

"What are Verts?"

Xeo looks at them with the same puzzled look and sits down. He looks at his hands again and sees his reflection on a metal plate on Lana's boot. He doesn't recognize the person staring back at him. Than he looks at the girls.

"I'm not me? This isn't my Shadow Town? Did you say I feel from the sky?"

"What do you mean this isn't 'your' Shadow Town? Wait, what do you mean you're not 'you'?"

Xeo looks at them with a confused look and thinks for a minute. He keeps looking down at Lana's boot.

"Lana, was it, do you have a mirror?"

Lana pulls out a compact with skull and crossbones on it and hands it to Xeo. Xeo opens it and looks at the reflection. Than he shuts the compact and sighs as he hands it back to Lana. Kuma sits down next to him and places her hand on his shoulder.

"Xeo, are you ok?"

"I'm not sure, You said this is Shadow Town, right? Well, this isn't anything like the shadow town I know. The Shadow Town I know is a twisted hellhole. But this place looks fine and peaceful. Wait, you said I fell from the sky?

"Yeah, there was a big flash of light and the next thing I know, you where falling."

"Maybe that spell knocked me through time"

"Spell?"

"Yes. A spell, like magic."

Lana and Kuma look at each other and than look back at Xeo. Xeo gets up and walks over to the crater and holds up his left hand. Than he begins to whisper words to himself and the basin fills back up and grass and trees begin to grow. Kuma looks over at Lana.

"Did he just fix the ground? That was so cool."

"That was a basic white magic spell. My mother taught it to me when I was little. But I was shunned by her family so that's the only white magic spell I've ever mastered."

"Why where you shunned? Did you do something bad or hurt someone? Wait, can you teach me spells? Do you know how to control elements and raise the dead and fly?"

Xeo looks down at his leg and holds up his hand again. The blood on his leg runs back into the wound and than it seals leaving a large scar where the bone had come through the skin.

"I was shunned because I'm a half breed. Can we talk about this later? I need to get some rest."

"Sure, but can you tell me what you remember and teach me spells?

Xeo looks over at Kuma with his Ice blue eyes and nods. Than Lana and Kuma take Xeo by the arms and pull him along. When the finally arrive at Lana's house Lantic is waiting for her at the door. He glares at Kuma and Xeo with a disapproving look on his face than turns to Lana.

"Hey Sis, can we talk?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"I know it's only been a few mouths since mom and dad died, but I don't want you dragging home every stray you find on your way home. This isn't a homeless shelter."

"He's not a stray. He, umm, well, he's my new boyfriend. His name is Xeo."

Lantic jumps up and looks over at Xeo again. His eyes fixed on Xeo's long white hair and pierced ears. Than Lantic glares into Xeo's eyes and feels the most powerful of emotions, fear. Lantic quickly turns back to his sister and takes her by the shoulder.

"Lana, I don't know why, but this guy is bad news. I can tell. Why am I even bothering to tell you this. You never listen and you never will. I got to go. I'll be out all night so don't stay up to late."

Lantic looks at Xeo again and exits the room in a hurry. When Lana hears the door shut she turns to Kuma and Xeo. Than after a moment of silence there is a loud popping sound and Xeo grabs his right forearm and falls to the floor in pain.

"Oh my God, Xeo are you all right?"

Xeo is on his hands and knees holding his right arm. Electricity is running out of his palm and over his body. Kuma runs to him and holds out her hand.

"Don't touch me. I can handle this. It'll pass in a second."

Xeo falls flat on the floor and the electricity stops. Kuma kneels down and puts her hand on his head. Than Lana comes over to him.

"He's alive. He's out cold, but he's alive."

"Come on let's get him to my room. I'll look after him."

Lana and Kuma pick him up by the underarms and walk him into the bedroom and lay him down. Kuma walks to the door and turns to look back at Xeo and Lana.

"I got to get home. Will you be ok with him or do you want me to stop by later.

"I should be ok. But you can come back if you want to."

Kuma nods and walks out of the room. Lana wipes some sweat off of his forehead and picks up his arms to look at his palm. She runs her finger over the pentagram. Than she begins to see flashes of a man with a long sword fighting with a man in face paint and a girl in black screaming at them. Than the girl holds up her hand and hits the swords of the two men with a lighting spell and than sees Xeo falling to earth like he had earlier that day. Than she lets his hand go. It falls limply to the bed. She looks down at his face and whispers to herself,

"You are from another realm."

Chapter 2. The Trouble with Elves

It was around mid-day when Xeo rose from his nightmare. He had been asleep for three days and some how knew that time had passed. He rose from the bed and looked around the room and noticed that no one was around and that he was wearing new cloths. Xeo walks out into the living room to find that Lantic is passed out on the couch with several empty bottles of beer. Lana walks into the room and puts her hand on Xeo's shoulder.

"I hope you're feeling better. Maybe you should just sit down and rest."

"I'm fine. Thank you for letting me stay here. I must be going."

"But you don't know where anything is. Please stay here for a while longer. Until you get things figured out."

Xeo turns to her and kisses Lana on the cheek. Xeo turns back to the door with a grin.

"Tell Lantic that he's pants are a little to tight in the crotch. I'll be back later."

"So you are coming back, right?"

"Yes, I just need to find some things out about this place. Like, why I'm here and how I got here. Where is the closest Mage Tower? I really need to talk to an elder Sage."

"A what?"

Xeo looks at here and sees that she really doesn't know. Than bows his head and exits the house.
