---------------------------- Ch 1 ---------------------
[Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
You believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now that is gone
Over with and done
And never to return
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you why
The shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you on
The shadow on the sun
Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin]
Shadow Of The Sun By Audioslave
The boy known as Kraken, ran through the brush, tongue wagging playfully as the leapt over a nearby pup and headed towards the newest killing. He smiled down at the newly slaughtered deer, as he pushed one of his playmates aside to tear at the fresh meat. This was the only life Kraken had ever known, ever since those things had died out, this wood had been his home.
In one moment that all changed...
There was a crashing of bushes creatures unlike anything he had ever seen ran into the clearing. They Stood on two legs, and seemed to be completely hairless, wearing strange garments. The boy approached, sniffing at them curiously before offering them a chunk of meat with his clawed green hand.
The hunter's took one look at the green teen, before tackling him sending the wolves scattering as the boy howled in despair.

The young blacksmith continued to beat the iron into shape, slowly curving the sides until it was a glowing hot razor sharp blade. He smiled before placing it in water to cool. The moment the red metal touched the water, it curled in, ruining the piece.
"Damn It Victor!" Yelled his senior, smacking the teen on the back of the head, "You ruined another one! You're totally worthless!" He screamed shoving him to the ground. "Why did I ever bother taking you in, especially after the accident?"
His apprentice stood up, "Jeez, I'm sorry, It wasn't like I mean to!"
"Just go get more water...." The Master Smith muttered, pointing over to several large barrels...
""Why did I even bother taking you in Victor?"" Mocked the teen as he walked towards the well, "Where have I heard that before?"
In truth, Victor's clumsiness wasn't his fault. When he was younger right after his family had been killed by raging Saxons in the north and he had been brought to this castle by caravan, it was. He'd been new at his apprenticeship, working on a suit of armor for the Lord's son, Sir Robin. Imagining the boy to be his own size, he used his own arm to fit a gauntlet, but in his haste managed to knock over a bucket of molten lead. The results had been disastrous, fusing the steel of the armor with his arm down to the bone. Victor sighed as he looked at his arm and flexed his iron clad fingers. He shook those thoughts from his head as he continued on to the well.

Kraken was awoken by a steady dripping on his head. He gave a low canine groan, as he tried to stand, but found he could not, he was shackled to the cold stone floor by his neck. He growled and twisted violently, pulling the chain from the mortar.
"Wow..." Came an awed voice from the gloom that surrounded his cell. "They said you were strong..."
Kraken cocked his head to one side, in an attempt to hear better.
"Well," Came the voice, obviously feminine, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Uh..." The boy started, startled by his own voice, the sounds it was making suddenly strange to his ears. "Hu...Hu..Hello?"
"Well that's something." Smirked the girl as she leaned across the bars of that divided their cells. In the gloom she could just see him. His skin was entirely green, his hair, also green, was tangled in long dreadlocks and he wore tatters of rags which were barely covering him. The boy had been brought in the previous day by a group of guards, calling him some sort of boy beast. 'He Doesn't seem so scary...'
"Who are you?" She asked Smiling
"Who are you?" He fired back smirking
"I'm Raven." The Dark girl smiled
"I'm Raven." Answered the other
The real Raven stopped to ponder this for a second, here she was sentenced to death, and the only other prisoner nearby, could only mimic. 'Well at least he's kinda cute....in a weird way...'
"No more talking," Barked a nearby Guard, "You Boy! Your hearing begins now!" As he spoke 4 more guards, came in, one holding a Heretic's Fork in hand. The Beast Boy's eyes widened in terror as he saw the cruel points of the collar as it was strapped to his neck as the other's held his arms and legs. As the razor spikes cut into his throat, he roared in agony only digging them deeper into his flesh, as the guards attached a chain to the collar, pulling him viciously forward and out into the bright light of the outside world. Raven winced in empathy...
"See you soon Beast Boy...."
----------------------------Meanwhile at the Castle-----------------------------
"Robin, what are you doing?"
The prince stared out the window, and did not turn to face his father. He did not mean to be rude, he was to consumed by thought. Robin glanced out beyond the palace walls and into the center of town square. He could see them, those people on the stocks, being pelted with food, even flogged by passerby...
"Why do we do this?"
His father glared at him, "Do not question things you don't understand. If there is one thing I have tried to teach you son, it is this my word is law, as will your own be one day." Suddenly the door to the Royal Study flew open as a terrified messenger.
"M-My Lord," He stuttered, "The prisoner is ready for your judgment."
"Excellent," Slade walked towards the door and turned to face his son, "Watch and Learn My Boy, watch and learn..."
----------------------------/----------------In Court-----------------------/-----------------------------
"Sire," Spoke one of the hunter's, as he bowed before Slade's throne, "We found this... this... monster in the Black Wood." The king's eyes widened as he heard those words...
"You were hunting in the Black Woods?" He snarled
"My Lord, we went only to slay a particularly fierce wolf pack that was terrorizing the farms nearby."
"What farm's? The plague killed off everyone in that entire area!"
"Sire," a nearby Advisor smiled, "If this...creature proves anything, it seems that some one survived. Look at his skin, it's green the same color their bodies turned in the later stages of disease. It is my opinion that he must have consorted with the devil, to possibly have survived. The Black Woods are known for such things...."
"Yes..." Nodded Slade as he took in the information, before he turned to the guards, "Kill him and have him skinned. His hide will make a fine pair of boots..."
"Excuse me sir, but I'm rather...attached to it..." Beast Boy said rather calmly"He can talk???" Yelled Slade Exasperated, "That's it, take him back to his cell!"
"Father, you can't do this!" Robin said, speaking up for the first time, "I won't allow you to kill one who has committed no crime!"
"Stand Down Boy!" His father yelled, before turning back to the guards, "Leave us, and take the beast with you!"
"I have feelings to you know!!!" Cried Beast Boy as a guard pulled viciously on his collar.
When all had left the Prince and his father alone, Slade turned his back to his son andd walked towards the throne.
"Father, speak to m- " Robin was cut off by a vicious backhand across the face which knocked him to the ground. He brought a hand to his bleeding mouth, as he gasped for air, eyes starting to water.
"Never correct me," Slade snarled down at his heir, "As Long as I live, I rule... remember that..."
