it's shadow writing and here's the next chapter! also, plz, someone review my stories, I've been wondering if people have even been reading them lately! anyskittles, let's get started!

eric was the first to get there, "mommy, look what me and Sophia found!"

shadow chuckled "what is it?" she turned around and saw the glowing crystal in eric's hand. she gasped, "eric, where did you get that?" she took it out of his hands as she talked.

eric shrugged, "I found it in the chest, why did you look like soldiers in that picture?"

Sophia came into the room as he asked, "and what is this?" she put the helmet on her head.

shadow chuckled nervously, "interesting question, kids. riley! I might need some help here!"

riley came running into the room and found his helmet on his daughter's head, " did I miss something?" he asked shadow,

shadow nodded, "yep, they found it."

"karabast." riley said under his breath. he too had started using that thing that zeb did.

"so, what's up with all this stuff?" Sophia asked

"and why do you have that in the chest?" Eric said, grabbing for the purple crystal in his mother's hands.

shadow took it out of his reach but Eric still jumped for it. "it's for a lightsaber, ok?" she said with a tad bit of harshness.

"a lightsaber?" Sophia turned to look at her mother, Riley's helmet still on her head, "but, aren't those what the jedi use?"

shadow sighed, "yes. believe it or not, I was training to be a Jedi once."

the kids looked dumbfounded and riley sucked in a deep breath, there were going to be a lot of questions now. eric was the first to break the silence, "wait, you're a Jedi? what's it like, how is that little thing a lightsaber, where'd you find midnight, why aren't you with the the other Jedi right now, is that why you have wings..." and soon, Sophia joined in. the questions went on and on, nonstop.

shadow calmly silenced her two curious children and looked over at riley, he could already tell that she was asking if they should tell them the story. riley nodded.

"ok, i guess that we'll tell you. how about in the living room, after dinner?" she smiled as the kids nodded eagerly. "ok, after dinner. also, "she looked the purple crystal and then at eric, "you can have it." she gave eric the crystal.

so, that's all for now! plz, if you actually read this, plz comment that you are reading it, even just saying "i'm reading this" will do. bye
