Xiaolin Showdown does not belong to me.

Darkness seeped in slowly, slinking and slithering with malicious meaning. He could see them in very faint lighting; gliding ever so slowly to the crumbling cerulean orb that kept him safe…safe against the endless swarming shadows. Day to day, night to night, he watched in weak horrified fascination as the gloomy beasts gnawed at the watery tendrils, determined to break his orb of protection; the promise of ripping him apart bit by agonizing bit fueled their havoc.
He was so sleepy…so utterly sleepy…drawing his knees to his chin, he watched the shadows attack his shield with clawed tendrils in drowsy dread. So sleepy…so afraid…so useless…
His eyes widened as one of the more forceful shadows slithered up to his sanctuary and grinned.
"Grin? Shadows do not grin…"
The shadow continued to grin as it placed one single clawed tendril on his cage, the sharp tips scratching the surface ever so slowly, ripping his cage little by little; reaching in with his whispering vapors…closer and closer…
The child whimpered weakly as the pointed tendrils raked over his face, yet not touching it for the barrier was still in tact. Black eyes widened again as the lump of darkness began to take shape gradually. Long thick mane falling over golden tinted eyes set deep into a pale pointed face decorated with a sneering grin.
"Child…you cannot hide…" he whispered with dripping venom.
"No…no…please…don't…" the infant pleaded as the darkness surrounded them with choking might.
The child moaned in pain as he felt the draining of his watery cage, let out gasp-like cries whilst his energy seeped away from him, sighed when he grew too weary to do anything against the beast's advances…the creature's grin was the last thing he saw.
The man-shadow chuckled wickedly as his shadows descended upon the now sleeping child; tittering darkly as their black coils wrapped around his teeny tiny frame, snickering sinisterly as they dripped darkness into his defenseless body and presented the infant to him. The child's body slowly turned an inky black colour as the man-shadow kissed his cold lips…
"Mine" the malevolent shadow creature whispered as he coiled his body around the shivering cold dark child and watched as his shadows ripped the child's refuge apart.
