Authors Note: Hello, and welcome to the final 'chapter' in the TAE series of 'books'. I'm sure everyone who's reading this has either read the original three books, or at least knows what they're about. If not, I suggest reading them, as you'll be pretty confused if you don't. Original characters will eventually all have profiles and pictures up on the forums I made to explain and discuss the story; a link will be provided on my profile page when it's up and running. Also, a note; the events of this story are completely original and thought of by me. So, without further ado, welcome to Untold Legacy. Enjoy!

The leader smiled, "Ah, Mar and Tera… I'm rather glad those two worked out, oh, better switch to someone else…" a flick, "Oh yes, the children… Kari and Tai."

"Woah!" the surfer stared, "Dude! Last time we saw them they were, like, tiny toddlers! How'd they get so big??"

"It's been seventeen years since they were born… the two that now carry on their father's legacy…" another flick, "The Praxis twins, still as different as night and day. No surprise there, really. And…" one more, "Kyren and Talia… those two have done well considering they've grown up in a world of humans…"

"Uh… wasat?"

"What's what?" the leader looked to where the other ottsel was pointing, eyes narrowing. A small, purple dot flashed on and off, "Dark activity? That just can't be…" he waved it off, "It's probably just sensing Mar and Tai's energy, nothing to worry about."

He hoped…

"Have the preparations been made?" the voice was silky, seductive, and at the same time acidic, hanging in the air like a breath of poison. The glowing, Dark creatures knelt before her, uttering a sort of low grunt in sequence.

"And no one suspects anything?" another chorus of grunts, "Excellent, you have done well. What of Jak and his little friends?"

This time a chorus of higher grunts, almost like wicked laughter.

Maia smirked wickedly, eyes glinting with Dark Eco, "Excellent. That little brat won't suspect a thing…"
