-1Everyone was asleep, no sound could be heard but the sweet sound of sleep…

"Shadow…" Said a small voice, "Shadow…" Opening his eyes, he saw Scarlet's face near his.

"…what…" Shadow responded,

"Me had scarwy nightmare…I-I-I CAN'T SLEEP!"

"about what?" Shadow asked a bit annoyed--

"ABOUT A WHITE DRAGON CHASING ME! AND HE HAD ONLY THREE LEGS!"

"OH NO! DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP WITH ME!?"

"YES--!"

"to bad…" Shadow said falling asleep again. Scarlet began to cry as she walked away. Shadow twitched and moved around in his sleep. Scarlet looked back and walked over to him again.

"…Shadow--AHH!!!!" She yelled as she touched him, getting a brief shock then closing her eyes. She fell to the ground with a thud and opened her eyes once again. She was in a vast land of death. Trees and fields of grass, all black. Crows squawking about in the trees. A path way showed heading to a castle. She took one step as the ground glowed then revealed 3 squares in front of her. One with a snake symbol, another with an angel wing symbol, and last a dragon. Looking confusingly at the panels, she stepped on the wing panel showing another set of panels. Two with a symbol of a lion, and another with a snake. Touching the snake, she fell down a hole where it took her to a dark room. Red glowing eyes opened from all around the room. Grins shinned as the creatures jumped onto Scarlet. Covered in black and with wings big as a jet. There claws jarring at her as she screamed and fell to the ground crying.

"Scarlet…Scarlet!" Said a voice. She opened her eyes looking into the bright sun. "Scarlet! Geez, what are you crying for?" Shadow asked.

"N-nothing…" Scarlet answered trying to swallow the big clump in her throat.

"…right…" Shadow said before walking off to a small microscope. Scarlet only watched. "Blizzard's little Test will never succeed."

"It will work…" Blizzard said entering the room.

"What is it anyway?"

"Homework…it's suppose to be a DNA test…"

"DNA, since when did they bring that up in school?"

"Ok, so they don't…doesn't mean I can't have a bit fun experimenting…" Blizzard said turning around facing a cab nit. "What am I missing? OH YES!" Said Blizzard leaving the room.

"Let's see how you find out when your not related to Spyro…" Shadow laughed evilly. As he chanted a little light glowed open the microscope and vanished. "Come Scarlet…I want a front row seat when Blizzard finds out."

"But how?"

"Science…very easy…" Shadow laughed as he left the room as well as Scarlet. Blizzard returning with a tube in his palm put it next to a paper with the words 'Shadow's DNA'.

"Let's see if Shadow really is my brother…" Said Blizzard.

--

"Shadow? Why we up here?" Scarlet asked as she made it to the top of a hill.

"As soon as Blizzard cracks, it'll be safer to stay up here…"

"OK!" She said as she sat there looking down at Shadow's home. Minutes passed and Scarlet waited more and more. "Shadow…What doe it mean if someone says they love you?"

"It means a feeling you get when your in love with someone…or for me, if someone says that to me I do this…" Shadow hit Scarlet on the forehead and started rolling down the hill.

"HEY! That wasn't nice!"

"Oh come on…you know I was kidding…"

"Hmm…" She mumbled as she climbed back up. "So how you know if it happens?"

"If it says Blizzard is not related t Spyro, then it means he is. But, if it says he is, then he isn't and never was related to him."

"Oh…so…"

"You don't get it do you?"

"Nope!"

--

Blizzard sighed as he went outside. He saw Shadow looking at him with a smile on his face. Blizzard, heaved another sigh and walked up to him.

"Hello Shadow…" Blizzard said as Shadow only grinned at him.

"So how did the 'experiment' go?"

"Well I checked your DNA--"

"Mine!?"

"Yes…sadly you are my brother…I guess I was doubted wrong about you not being the son of Spyro. So anyways, now that I do know you are my brother…truce?" Blizzard asked holding up his paw.

Shadow only starred at him, as if something had gone wrong. And there it began. Shadow's truth was revealed. But not all of it. Who was his father then? If it wasn't Spyro, then could it mean Ember was pregnant from out of know where, or did she cheat n Spyro. The real truth was still yet hidden, yet so close…

And with that, he said to Blizzard, "Truce," Before shaking Blizzards paw.

9 years later

As dawn aroused, Shadow lay on the green yet wet grass. His scales shinning with a bright light. He opened one, then another eye. His vision blurry then going to normal. He got up and stretched with a big yawn.

"Another day, another living hell…" he said as a dragoness slowly and silently walked behind him.

"Your mine now…" Said the dragoness as she lunged at Shadow with a brisk jump. She landed on top of him and wailed with laughter. "HAHA! I Scarlet, obey to never let this dragon go! For he is mine now…" She said with a grin.

"Funny--NOW GET OFF ME!" Shadow said angrily.

"Oh lighten up! I was just kidding! Come on! We'll be late for school!"

"I'm not going…"

"Awe come on! You haven't gone for almost a month! I can't just keep lying that your sick with a very bad fever. Oh that reminds me--they gave me this to give you!" She said as she hugged him.

"GET OFF ME!" Shadow said as he pulled away.

"…Shadow?"

"I want to be alone…"

"Is it because Blizzard thinks you ran away, and if he saw you--he would tell the others?"

"Don't say others…"

"It's just--"

"--Theres things you don't know Scarlet…"

"like what?"

"….things about me…"

"I know who you are! Your, Shadow Drakin…who else?"

"I mean my past…"

"What past? Tell me!"

"…I can't…"

"I'll skip school! Come on just tell me!" Scarlet begged as Shadow sighed.

"If I do…no one mustn't know about it…"

"Ok…" Scarlet said as she sat next t Shadow. He rolled on to his back as he day dreamed in the sky then started…

"It began like a dream. A dream with pain and suffering. I was just a mere a Shadow to a girl. Her heart pure and true. Mine was nothing but pain and suffering."

"so that was your past?"

"…no…one day I had a thought of controlling the girls soul. To change her evil. So I did--but then her soul, 'Light', was strong and powerful. His heart yet as well pure with satisfaction. Before I could win--we some how emerged to be one soul. Until time we finally split to two. I was formed into a human. Yet I still had my power, I felt yet weak. Decades past and a boy named Diamond opened the seal to my world to his. My enemy, 'Light' was his soul. And it began again…I was in more despair than before…"

"So then that was your past, huh?"

"I guess…"

"…right…nice try, if your ever going to fool someone try doing it right…"

"But I am…and I know who's Diamond father is…and I know his future child…"

"How would you know if he doesn't exist…"

"I'll show you…" Shadow said as he got up then touching Scarlet's forehead, she fainted. She opened her eyes to see a little field with Blizzard playing with a small dragon. The little one tackled Blizzard to the ground as they both laughed.

"Blizzard?" She said confusingly as she heard there voices.

"I love you dad!" Said the little one to Blizzard.

"I love you to Diamond" Blizzard said back with a chuckle.

"Do you see now?" Said Shadow's voice from nowhere.

"This is all a dream…" Scarlet said as she ran over to Blizzard. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Blizzard then looked at Scarlet and smiled. But he didn't smile at her. Scarlet turned around when she heard a small dragoness voice from behind. "DADDY!" Said the sweet voice as the girl lunged straight at Scarlet but simply went through her like nothing and tackled Blizzard with a giggle.

"Now do you believe me…" Said Shadow who was behind Blizzard.

"This…this can't be…"

"But it is…I am more then just Shadow Drakin. I am…Sin…" Shadow said with a tear falling from his cheek.

"sin…?"

"I am nothing but despair…" Shadow said as he vanished as well did Blizzard and the little ones. Everything went black and Scarlet woke up to find her self in the dead of dawn. The sun yet coming up. In front of her was Shadow crying with heaps of anguish in him.

"And yet…I still live…" Said Shadow softly.

"…oh Shadow…" Scarlet thought as she just starred at him with sorrow eyes.


OK NOT SO GREAT BUT ME NEED TO GO! BYE!
