Legacy of Shadows

In a world where light is reigning over the shadows, what happens when the shadows start to... Fight back?

Sal'mia is a young light dancer, a breed of elf that is very similar to humans. Of course, they have no clue what humans are. She live's on her father's farm with him and her seriously ill younger brother. Her father, Tha'an, breed's a type of reptilian called Hedera Beastiea. They are huge, aerodynamic, and deadly. The farm is tended to by 'dirt eaters', slaves of the light dancers for many generations... Or, whatever's left of their species anyway. The species true name is Night crawler's, and there was a war between them and the light dancer's generations prior. At first it was believed they had entirely been wiped out, but it was later discovered that survivors still lingered in the deepest cavern system on Demarai, the Shindalai fissure. Little to no light is filtered through the volcanic rock, just how the night crawlers like it. Now you see, the Light dancer's just could not have that. Every last night crawler was dragged from the caverns, children and all, and they were made to work as slaves. Night crawler's are a grotesque species, with long and almost... Badger-like claw's on their hand's. Sal'mia had always been the only one in her household to treat the 'dirt eaters' with even a shred fo respect. But on one fateful day, as single Night crawler sentinel stood above the others and struck Tha'an, Sal'mia's father. And then he fled, taking one of the Hedera and flying off whilst Tha'an cowered on the ground where he lay. But before the night crawler took off into the sky he left with...Complicated parting word's. "Or so you all think..."
And that's what sent Sal'mia out on her journey through the most dangerous part's of Demarai in search of him- But little did she know, she was not the only one in search of someone... And the encounter would cause, to say the very least, tragedy.
