Rising Shadows Chapter 1

  Rising Shadows: Chapter One

     The Legacy

Long ago in a land called Kanjii, The Shadow Lord ruled. He treated all the
cats of his kingdom like slaves, doing all his work for him, and building shrines in
his honor. If a cat did not do as told The Shadow Lord would get that cat killed or
severely punished.
      But one day a warrior of light came and vanquished The Shadow Lord, sealing
him away in a temple high on a mountain peak where no one could reach him. The light
warrior summoned the ten elemental cats and they're gems to the temple, using the
stones to seal the temple completely, and using the cats as guards for temple. Before
the warrior left she gave the Guardians one rule to follow; never allow any cat -even
Guardians - enter the Temple under any circumstances, or else the Shadow Lord will be able to escape easily.
      The Guardians followed the Sacred Rule flawlessly for hundreds of years until
one night, Modessa; Guardian of the Metal Gem unsealed the door and slipped in
silently. The Shadow Lord easily overtook Modessa and the rest of the Guardians.
      For releasing him, the Shadow Lord made Modessa his most trusted partner and
scattered the rest of the Guardians and they're gems to different parts of the Kanjii
region, under strict orders from the Shadow Lord to guard the gems with they're
lives. It was just like the last time the Shadow Lord ruled. All except for one
thing...


   The light warrior was nowhere to be found...
