Virgil: The Last Shadowbender

1+ The beginning

  Virgil ran, he ran as fast as he could. Through the trees and brush, the vines that tangled his feet and the leaves that tangled in his hair. His purple clothes got caught on branches. His heart pounded as all he could hear began to be his breathing. He ran from them, they'd taken over his village with ease. The Shadowbenders, the most powerful benders there are.

  Slowly, he began to see a small village. He burst out of the forest, panting. His vision started fading steadily. Virgil began to fall on the dirt road, a tall man in blue seemed to notice him. But Virgil passed out before he knew what the man was going to do.

    Virgil woke up in the back of a tavern, he was laying on a beige-ish bed. He looked around and saw a few stools in a small room made of wood. The man from earlier walked in. "Are you okay?"

  Virgil didn't even acknowledge the fact that he didn't know where he was, or how much pain he was in. "No, no, I'm not okay. My village was just destroyed, my family was killed and I don't even know if I'm still being followed and-" 

  "Slow down, explain it slowly, please." The man interrupted Virgil as he sat up. "When I brought you here, you had some serious injuries, you should be resting."

  "Wait, where is here?" Virgil asked. "Who are you?"

  "My name is Logan, this is the inner ring of the earth kingdom." Logan explained, "Who are you? Who are you being followed by?"

  "Virgil, I don't really remember who they are. I think I hit my head! What else did I forget? Wait, the inner ring... Somethings going to happen."

  "What is it?"

  "Don't you think I would say it if I knew?"
