Nighttime has crept up fairly fast this evening. There is a full moon out but still everything is deathly dark in these parts of Erozea. You are traveling down a less traveled road tonight and your already on edge, looking for dangers. It seems your friends did not come to meet you at the last fork in the road like they had promised. Always hard to find good friends. . . always hard to fin . . . always har. . .
   A soft hushed sound of a voice streaks across the blackness in-front of you and you stop dead still in the path. Surely there is no one out this late at night? Suddenly a deep full male voice hits your eardrums like a fathers whisper to his child. "Theres no need to be scared little one for we are here to protect you. . . . " The voice sends chills down your spine and you nearly jump out of your boots as you spin around to confront the sound. There is nothing. . . As you calm yourself the voice comes at you again from the complete opposite side of the road. "A bit jumpy for someone who has no reasons to be scared. . ." This time you were ready and you spin to see the figure cloaked in darkness leaning against the nearest tree. . . He is clearly alone, but he seems so calm to be out here by himself. The dark figure straightens up and very softly walks out to meet you where you stand.Â
    You look up to where his face would be, however its very hard to see anything since he is covered from head to toe in black robes. The only thing you can see is one frozen blue eye. Strangely this eye has a very calming effect on you and you cease to be scared. The stranger tilts his head and his eye looks as if he is smiling under his robes. "See little one there is no reason to be scared for we are here. The only thing darker than night my friend is The Black." He extends his hand to you in greeting. There is no reason why you shouldn't shake his hand, so you do and a smile crosses your face awkwardly.
    He then begins to speak to you as if you were old pals as you continue to walk along the dark path together. Things about the weather and how the traveling had gone earlier that day. Suddenly you can feel his ice cold eye on you and you feel slightly uneasy as he takes one of your hands. "We know that your friends have deceived you tonight and have sent you out here alone. Its very fortunate we were able to find you in this vast countryside" the shady figure says to you in a very calm and caring tone. When you pull your hand away you see that inside it is a black paper with white writing. "It seems we can be your new friends and consider yourself called to us" the dark figure states as he bows lightly. "I am The Shade of The Black. . . welcome to the family." You look down to the paper and back up to see no one there.
