Disclaimer: I don't own the Deltora Quest I'm just a really big fan!!

Author's note:

Ok, I'm new to the whole Deltora Fanfiction thing, but I have read all the books and after being inspired by several of the writers already there I've actually found a good plot! Or what I think is good story plot; you guys might want to correct me. I know my summary wasn't very helpful so if you're still wondering if this is going to be a waste of your time please read below to find out!! (Plz R&R by the way!!)

Slightly Better Summary:

The first series is about saving Del and the surrounding Tribes and the second series is about rescuing the slaves so the Shadow Lord himself hasn't actually been attacked has he? So, after realizing all is not well in Deltora and the three tribes of the Pipe have been taken to the Shadow lands, they learn about the Golden Amulet of the Talisman Dragons. This amulet is said to hold the key to the Shadowlords defeat. The only problem is that it has been split into four parts and each part guarded by a fierce Dragon!!

DELTORA QUEST 3:

The Underground of Hope

- Black Fury

1 – Shadows

The harsh wind blew over the remains of the Shadow lands. The Factories and Shadow Arena lay crumbled, but still existent. Like the Shadow Lord…

Hidden under the ruins of the Shadow Arena, he lay. Weakened, yes but far from finished. The red smoke that surrounded him was no longer its rich, blood red, but a dull orange. The pipe had indeed destroyed his land and killed his monsters.

He flared his nostrils. When that young boy had sounded the pipe his monsters had only crumbled in pain, but then that strange hooded kid had come and his music had killed off his monsters and men, trashed the Arena and factories and weakened him. But they had disappeared before the damage could be completed, leaving him alive-not that mere music could have killed him! For this at least he was thankful, it left him with an intact land and a handful of his best and strongest men.

He cast his eye out to his remaining men. It was time.

'The time has come for revenge..,' He snarled, 'Reahendra? '

A large figure in a black cloak stepped forward. Upon his arm was the Shadow Lord's sign.

'Yes, my Lord?' He rasped.

'Return to Del and continue to spy upon that king, I want all the information you can get…'

'But sir, there is no point, they know nothing of your…' Reahendra stopped as the Shadow Lord engulfed him in his smoke.

'If I was not short on men I would have killed you,' He begun in a slow petrifying whisper, 'I have many plans but if that stupid boy, his guard and his wild friend got wind of these plans he would become…annoying. It is there for necessary that you are there to turn thing off track and learn of their plans…now go! Before I change my mind on killing you…'

Reahendra stumbled and fell, pale faced, to the ground.

'Yes, sir, r-right away sir…' He staggered up and bolted in the opposite direction.

The Shadow Lord watched him go then turn to the others, who huddled in fear.

'As for the rest of you…' A curled, wicked smile grew on his mouth, 'It is time to stop that precious pipe from playing anymore…'

Evil smirks soon appeared back on the cloaked faces of the followers. It had been awhile since they were allowed to course suffering and pain; this was going to be enjoyable.

The Shadow Lord looked down at one of his followers. He was hunched over, almost dog like, a hood covering his head from view.

'Your keen hearing will be able to pick up the pipes music, it will be too soft to affect you as it is miles under the ground, Reahendra had heard the stupid king talking about it and this is how I know. You will hear it best at the Dread Mountains. Follow the sound and attack.'

The cloaked followers nodded excitedly and began to move off, but the Shadow stopped one and took them aside.

'Oh, no not you my dear,' He smiled, snarling, 'I have a far more sinister plan for you…'

Black Fury: Yeah, yeah, I know it's short and I'm sorry but I knew I'd give away the Shadow Lord's plans if I continued and if you like the start of that I'm planning on writing chapter two up now so you won't have to wait long. Please review and tell me how I am with Deltora stuff…please?
