Daughter Of Batman Chapter 1

Deep in the mountains of Asia is the headquarters for the League of Shadows. Also, known to many, as the League of Assassins.

It's remote and for the most part void of any outsiders making I difficult for anyone who isn't part of the organization to get there. There is a strong sense of security. The natural defenses surrounding the Temple makes practically an impregnable fortress.

At the massive practice yard many of the warriors are training.

Above them overlooking the vast scenery on a terrace was the head of this grand place.

Ra's al Ghul. And beside him is his family.

His daughter Talia, son Arkady Duvall, and grandson eleven year old Damien.

"This is your legacy, Damien. The League of Assassins," said Ra's al Ghul, arms crossed behind him as he stands there erect and proud, face unreadable.

Straightening his posture, blatant, Damien said "Yes, Grandfather."

Damien has constantly been so serious. Way too much for a child his age at eleven.

Unfortunately the life he is born into leaves no alternative but to be so.

Ever since he was born Damien has been groomed to lead the League one day one Ra's al Ghul is long dead and gone. Ra's al Ghul has cheated death many times for years, but even he cannot live forever.

Aware of this Damien has always been determined to live up to his family's expectations and make them proud. No matter the obstacles that are put in his way, trying his very best to excel at it all. He's adamant about doing his duty although he can act quite arrogant and ignorant sometimes much to the chagrin of those close to him. His ignorance can make him cocky. That is dangerous. It's their hope that one day he will grow out of those nasty habits. Since he has yet to even reach his adolescent teenage years.

It is in his genes after all.

Continuing, Ra's al Ghul said "To make sure the earth abides a natural contentment without the abuse of man."

Talia is in the background smiling at the scene as Damien is undergoing one of his many important lessons, pleased with how adamant he is about following the teachings of his beloved Grandfather. Her elder brother Arkady Duvall slowly walks forward to become even with her.

Unlike Talia and Ra's, Arkady has never dipped in the Lazarus Pitt regularly as they did. So he has aged and become an elder over the years.

"It is good to see our revered father so devoted to his grandson," mused Arkady Duvall.

"Yes, brother, it is," concurs Talia.

Scanning over the terrace with his one unscarred eye, Arkady Duvall said "Speaking of our fathers grandchildren, where is the other one?"

.

Flower gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

.

Smiling fondly at hearing the soothing, harmonic, and lovely voice, Arkady Duvall said "There she is."

Damien wasn't the only child born into this family by Talia.

Damien has a twin sister. Her name is Danika.

It's no debate that Danika is going to be as beautiful as her mother when she gets older. With her white porcelain skin and long ebony hair she is going to e breaking men's hearts all over the place. While Damien and Danika are twins there is a major telltale unique trait between them. Damien has green eyes like their mother, but Danika's is blue. Talia says she gets it from their father despite having yet to meet the man in person.

She is down below in a secluded part of the temple Danika is in one of the garden's practicing her craft.

Danika is entirely different than her brother. Basically she's not as hard, cold, and serious as he is. Another thing is that she was born with certain gifts. That is if you could call them that.

Danika has her palm pressed against a tree trunk, blue eyes now altered glowing a golden color. Her long, silky, and luscious hair floating in waves around her small and slender form.

As Danika was busy singing the incantation the broken and partially dead tree began to heal. Within seconds the tree was fully repaired with leaves sprouting all over the branches and some magnolia blossoms.

Young Danika was only a toddler when she was immediately put into training to master the mystic energy inside her from both the sun and the moon. It didn't take her long and soon she gained the ability to focus her magic instead of just allowing it to run wild on her.

But just as easily as life can be given it can be snuffed out, taken away with the snap of the fingers. It's an unfortunate fact that where there is an abundance of life death is looming not to far away in the shadows waiting to strike and strike hard.

Laying her hand on the tree once more Danika shut her eyes. Seconds later she snaps them back open. The radiant blue has become pitch black.

.

Wither and decay

End this destiny

Break these earthly chains

And set the spirit free

The spirit free

.

In an instant the once in need of nourishment and healing now faded away and died before her and everyone who is observing this, eyes.

Unfortunately this destruction didn't stop there.

To the contrary with how Danika is with her restoration magic from the sundrop gem the part she has from the moonstone is far more unpredictable. Sometimes it gets away from her like now.

Around Danika the flowers and bushes slowly began to shrivel and decay until there was nothing left of them. By a fierce strength and sheer force of will Danika cased the expansion before it could get within fifteen feet in diameter. The assassins nearby were more than used to this by now so none of them recoiled. Danika's eyes return back to normal and she collapsed onto her bottom, taking deep breaths exhaling in and out.

"Danika has improved much. Her level of self-control has improved immensely, but she still has a long way to go," said Talia, wistful. "She has so much more to learn."

"She'll get there. Similar to her brother Danika has so much to look forward to. Such marvelous potential," reassured Arkady Duvall.

This tranquil, peaceful, and purposeful existence is about to be disrupted that'll alter all of their lives drastically forevermore.

Nothing lasts forever.
