SHADOW

Episode 01: ENCOUNTER

(A dull thud is heard inside a dark cave. A blond haired boy is seen standing at the entrance of the cave)

Boy: Who's there?

(A shadowy figure is seen inside the cave breathing fast as blood drops down from his abdomen)

Boy: (Slowly walks into the cave) From the way you breathe I think you are injured... This place is no medical facility. Leave or I will end you!

Shadow: You speak as if you have any strength in you to end the likes of me (coughs out blood)

(The boy dashes to land the unknown figure a blow but was easily overpowered and thrown out of the cave. He grunts while lying on the ground. The unknown figure steps out of the cave and his appearance which now looks like a slender Man with spikey silver hair, dark grey eyes stands before him and introduces himself to the boy)

Seth: My name is Render Seth... (he collapses. The boy stands in front of Seth for some time before dragging his body back into the cave to dress his wounds. Fourteen days later Seth regains consciousness and tries to sit up)

Boy: I wouldn't do that if I were you

Seth: You patched me up? Why?

Boy: I don't know. I did it on a whim

Seth: You are a weird one. What's your name kid?

Boy: I can't remember what my mama used to call me

Seth: Let me think of a fine name for you then (feels his jaw)

Boy: (Looks at him with distrust)

Seth: Don't give me that look, Limbo...

Boy: (sighs)

Seth: I see you don't like that one. What about Quattro, Bejeena or Amino (laughs) Amino sounds good eh?

Boy: Are you trying to annoy me? (Talks inside his mind "Where have I seen this face before?")

Seth: At least I got your attention, Sora. (Clicks his fingers) That's it. From now on your name is Sora (talks inside his mind Sakura...)

Boy: (smiles) You really are bad at this

Seth: Yea I guess (Stands up and starts to leave the cave) Till we meet again Sora

*****************************************

(Somewhere in the Shadow Realm; Shadow Realm is a place full of beauty and dangerous planes that only those living in it or has the ability to control shadows can access from outside the realm by opening a shadow portal. When a non-shadow user steps foot on the soil of the realm his shadow will be instantly drained from him causing immediate death. 

An old man is seen peeping through a hole on the wall outside of the women's hot-springs bath, he peeps giggling and shaking his buttocks. A young girl with furious gaze stands behind him)

Saki: Takashi! (Angry tone) What are you doing?

Takashi: (Looks at her from the side of his eyes as sweat drops from the side of his face) Saki?

Saki: (Strikes him on the head) Foolish old man!

Takashi: (cries in pain) Ouch!

Saki: I can't believe you are a sage... You damn old geezer

Takashi: This is not how to take care of an old man. Don't you know my body is fragile? Handle me with care

Saki: Then stop being a pervert

Takashi: (under his breath "Am not a pervert") Has Seth returned from his battle with Saito?

Saki: (shakes head) Am not sure he's coming back from this one

Takashi: Tsk.. (picks up his staff and hits her on the leg) Your father is pretty strong. And good always defeats evil. He'll be back

Saki: (smiles while staring at the sky) Yea!
