A/N: Song comes off of Followers. Really annoyed I didn't see it before...
Keara walked to the gate of the fence surrounding the small dojo. She opened it, stepped out, and closed it behind her. And so I also close a chapter of my life, the master of Shadow reflected. The young ninja began to run to where she would meet her new master. She hoped he had time for a little talk.
When Keara arrived, no one was there- or so she thought. Suddenly, out of nowhere he appeared. Keara was startled at first, but then remembered that Allie was capable of the same. Allie...
"Ah, now here's a person who doesn't need a schedule to be on time! Welcome back, young one." Lord Deorc cut her thoughts short. "Come with me now, and I shall show you your new home."
Keara followed without hesitation. But on the way, she spoke. "Deorc?"
"Yes, Keara?"
"Before I do anything for you, will you promise me something?"
"That would depend upon what it is, young one."
"Please don't make me do anything to Allie while I am in your service, will you? I promise to do anything else you ask, but don't make me hurt my old friend."
They walked on silently for a minute, Deorc deep in thought. He finally spoke. "Alright, as you wish, Keara. But you must do anything, and I mean anything, else I request."
"I will, my lord." Keara bowed. She quickly stood up. That was the first time she had bowed to anyone but her old Master. It seemed a little strange to do so, but, as the ninja told herself, she would have to get used to that.
Soon they came to the entrance of a cave, sealed by a large stone. Deorc used his elemental powers to open it. He stood to the side. "Ladies first." Keara stepped inside and he followed. Once they were both inside he colsed the door. "Don't worry, your powers should work on the door too. And inside, there's another method." He pointed to a lever.
They continued to walk through the cave. "Do you live here alone, Deorc?" Keara asked.
"Certainly not," he replied. "One can't be an evil genius without a horde of henchmen to cover him up!"
"So who are these henchmen?"
"You shall see soon enough, my dear." Deorc pulled a whistle from somewhere in his cloak and blew into it. Instantly hundreds of small, dark, humanlike figures ran into the room. "Form ranks!" Deorc called.
Suddenly chaos broke out. The henchmen scrambled to their positions and tripped over each other and knocked their mates down. In the end everyone was on the floor except for one at the front, looking like nothing had ever happened behind him. He stood there, tall (quite literally, as he was taller than the others) and expressionless, rather like a guard of Buckingham Palace, only they do not have gray skin and red eyes.
"Couldn't you guys have gotten your act together just once?!" Deorc scolded. He turned to Keara. "Well, I suppose now would be good time to introduce you to , head of the ."
Raxxon nodded and bowed slightly. "Always a pleasure to meet an ally of my master's."
"Raxxon, this is my new assistant, Keara. I'm afraid I've already promoted her to second-in-command, so you'll be third from now on."
Raxxon scowled but simply said, "As you wish, my lord." He then proceeded to pick up and somehow throw his fellow Darkthings into their positions and on their feet.
"Wow..." Keara stared.
"My morning exercise, Commander," he said casually.
"Oh! That's right, the Darkthings will call you Commander from now on. Well now, I have dark scrolls to study and evil plans to make. Oh, and give Keara this, Com- Captain Raxxon, after you show her around." Deorc spoke quickly before taking a glass bottle off a nearby shelf, handing it to him and heading through a door.
"Of course. This way, Commander." The Darkthing took her arm and led her down the hall.
