A shadow ran through the frozen forest, four more followed it.

They ran through the trees, swift as the wind. They broke through the treeline, running across the plains. The moonlight revealed their identities.

The first was a umbreon with red rings.

The next was a espeon, a golden chain sparkled around her neck.

After her was a jolteon, she ran hard to keep up with her friend.

The next two were running side by side, a light purple vaporeon and a small flareon.

It was obvious that the male umbreon was the leader as the group ran across the terrain. They ran until they were at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.

"Master Shadow," the espeon addressed him stepping forward. "why are we here?"

Shadow turned to face his students. "Because it is time for me to leave you."

"Why? Have we done something wrong?" the jolteon asked.

"No you haven't, Thunder." he raised his voice, "I have taught you everything I know. You are some team I have put together. The only thing you have yet to learn is how to say good bye. But before I leave you have one last mission for me to give you."

"And what is that Master Shadow?" the vaporeon and flareon asked together.

"There is a gem out in a mountain cave. You must protect it with your lives. It will be in the mountain of frozen time. It will be very hard and you must be strong."

He walked over to the espeon. "You must shed light in the darkest of caves"

He walked over to the jolteon. "You must be as swift as a lightning strike."

Vaporeon. "You must be as fluid as the river."

Flareon. "and as strong as a raging fire."

The four looked up at him, eyes shining from tears, but they didn't cry because Shadow had told them to be strong.

"Good bye Master Shadow." the espeon whispered.

"Good bye my loyal students, and good luck."

And with those last words he faded away and a black mist rose up into the sky, away into the stars.

And that night the group swore that one of the stars shone brighter than any other.
