CHAPTER 1

I never knew my family too well. My mother died when giving birth to me and my father was killed during a home intrusion. That was when i was 4 years old. A few days after the break in, a mage of the highest caliber took me in. Ever since then i have been training with him. The first week he asked for my name but I had no answer as my father only called me " boy " or " you damn kid ". So with no name, I started my studies of the arcane.

As my first year of training was nearing an end, I was told to think of a name based on that year of training. After about two days of deep thinking, I found a name at last! The name I found was Shadow, as that was where i spent most of my time learning self - taught stealth skills. My master approved of this name and with that, my second year of training began.

The second year brought Many challenges. Instead of only studying from a book, I had to practice with hand to hand combat weapons, start casting spells, and even start summoning practice. I learned early on that I had a strong affinity for lightning elemental spells, but Master said that I was excellent in all forms of magic. I had but one drawback though, I was the absolute worst when it came to close quarters combat.

Sorry that the first chapter was so short. Anyways hope you liked this chapter.
