Before we begin you must first know our history, We live on the planet Yggdrasil, it's named this after the world tree, which is said to be the birthplace of all life, but the world we live on has gone by many names, like Tellus, or Gaea, but one of the most notable names was earth. The wolf and dragon species are called the last ones for a reason, our history books say that we evolved into what we are today, but the real story has been lost to time. The people before us were these fleshy beings, with no fur or scales, we have a name for them, we call them Shiandrall, which means soft skin. The real reason they disappeared was because of something called a shadow demon it's a demon that possesses no form of its own, but when people are born it will inhabit them, growing stronger each time that it is born inside of someone until finally, it gains enough strength to break free, and manifest its true form, then it burns the world, wiping everything that it can off the face of the earth in the short amount of time that it has, destroying many species, then after it's gone the cycle starts again, another species becomes dominant, and over many many lifetimes the shadow demon grows stronger and it destroys the next, except after the Shiandrall the cycle restarted but after about 200 years it suddenly disappeared and then people started to forget about it, and its markings hadn't been seen on any living creature in over 600 years, so finally it just became an urban legend, and a new history was written over the old one to help hide it. The dragon and wolf species lived in harmony for a long time, wolves don't really have any form of government, while the dragons live with the royal system, where queens hold more power than kings, and women are valued as warriors, The two species used to live together in harmony until they started to accuse each other of breaking each others laws, and then the war started, its called the great species war, along with some other names, it lasted a long time, and after the war, the species never fully recovered, and hate still existed between each other. But the war ended when a wolf military general, had a child with one of the most powerful dragons queens. Both people were exiled. And the shadow demon suddenly appeared in their child.
How. That is a question that we ask a lot. How do we do this? How did this happen? How did we not notice this? It's also a question that I ask myself a lot. But my question is a lot harder to answer. How do I survive the demon that is inside of me? How do I win the war that rages on inside my body? How, now that is a very good question, and I don't have an answer.
My name is Sinard, but my mom calls me Shadow. There are a few things you must know about me. I'm half wolf from my father's side, and I'm half-dragon from my mother's side. I walk on two legs and have five-fingered hands. I'm covered in fur except for my wings, which have bloodred scales, I can speak both English and draconic. My fur is a dark grey almost black, but with blood-red demon markings. But most importantly, I shouldn't even have been born.
My mother was a queen, but she was exiled for having a child with my father, an exiled wolf. So we live in the middle of nowhere on the territory between the dragon lands and the wolf lands. As a child, I was very smart and adept. My mother taught me how to do housework and proper hygiene, as well as math and other curricular activities and knowledge, while my dad taught me how to survive and protect myself. But the day I turned 12 my dad was shot right on our doorstep, and that's when the first incident happened.
It's October 3 2067 when I'm woken up at 4 in the morning by shouting. So I get up and it took me a second to realize that one of the voices that's shouting is my father's. So I head to the front door, and the second I open it I realize that somethings wrong. The 2 two guys standing over my father both wear the hunter's sigil. They are from the most elite bounty-hunting gang around. But then something weird happens, They both look up when the door opens, but they just seem to stare right through me, like they can't even see me. Like I know it's dark and I blend in, but it's still not that dark. After a couple of seconds, they look back at my father, who I then realize is covered in blood on the ground. Then before I can even blink, one of the bounty hunters pulls out a gun and fires, and everything turns black just as the sound from the gun firing reaches my ears.
