Omaha City, Nebraska State It was noon, and the moon was waxing crescent in Simmon Street, Omaha City, Nebraska State. Clark had just finished his meal of Cornish hen with wild rice and carrots. He waggled outside of his cottage which was situated in an area abridged of people inhabiting the streets. He gazed at the dark woods before him and heard the wood ring with shrill cries of the birds that hovered around. A huge grin appeared on his face because he knew that they were bats cowering away from the scene because of his presence. All of a sudden, his eyes twitched in terror at the horrendous figure that was before him and he cringed in fear. His heart pounded in distress as he began to weigh the nefarious creature. "Ooh my gosh!" He flinched backwards in fear as he headed to pick up the broom that lay at a designated area on the porch of the house. The giant lizard-like creature waggled around, squinting at him dreadfully. He suddenly had a clearer view of the creature and n

They waggled towards Clark's side and he gave them heated stares as they came towards him. He suddenly appeared viscerally revolting because he remembered that he had warned them in the past not to see him anymore. "What the hell do you want from me!" He simmered with anger as they finally stood aloof from him. "We want no conflict big brother. We are simply here to explain things to you and introduce you to someone new," Frozen Claws announced bringing forward Vivian. A heavy smile emitted from Vivian's lips as she waggled closer to Clark. Clark was fascinated by her beauty and stood like a dumb landpost for a while, enthralled by her beauty. "Shadow Master, it's you, after all these years," Vivian enthused. "You know who I am?" Clark's brows creased in curiosity with a blank look. "Of course, I do, Shadow master. You are indeed a legend," Vivian retorted. Clark looked more hoodwinked than before. He knew that his past seemed to be more bewildering. "What the hell! Then who

"Wow, that's progress. That's exactly what happened big brother, you saved us all," Frozen Claws shot an amicable piercing gaze at Clark that made him feel more assured of his safety with them. "Yes, basically, after dying we were supposed to reincarnate, but you use your dragon aura to reincarnate us all to the future and we are still waiting for the reincarnation of our rest two siblings, Biggie and Crimson Arrow," Storm Bender fluttered his eyes lashes as he explained. "So literally we were from the past and now we came to live in the future which is the present now, but that's not relevant because when we reincarnated into this time, our present selves haven't reincarnated yet, so we can substitute for our present self through the means of reincarnation," Vivian explained when she noticed that Dragon Master was already looking lost. "We all owe it to Dad to be victorious because he had to sacrifice himself when he shut the worlds thereby capturing many shadow beasts he could all

500 Years Ago Omaha City Dragon Master waltzed away from the presence of Frozen Claws as he watched her scoff and felt irksome about it. "Come on big brother, she is going to be here any minute. You can't keep on denying your feelings about Vivian. I mean she is also a royal, even though not a top royal, since her mother is also one," Frozen Claws teased. "I mean, even though Storm Bender, Biggie and Crimson Arrow aren't present at the moment because of their shadow duty, I can load them with news about what happens after," Frozen Claws giggled. "Well, what do I say to her?" Dragon Master massaged his temples and whacked off his mind. "Just be intentional about it and let it be genuine, remember you called for her," Frozen Claws retorted. "She has arrived," Frozen Claws announced as Vivian waggled into the entrance of their family mansion. "Just do better than hiding your feelings," Frozen Claws gave Dragon Master a nudge before she went to hug Vivian and then exited the mansio

Clark's heart thudded in his chest as he strode towards Dahlia's house. Even though he wasn't sure about her house, he felt he could easily locate either her house or Dahlia herself on the way, because of the way the city had been whittled of people. He recalled the story that Joshua told him about the mayor evading the city alongside some people. He stroked his chin as he reminisced about it, wondering how it wasn't enough to convince Joshua to leave the city. Three Years Ago Mayor Orson Esher stood at the podium at the city hall to deliver his presumed last speech before resigning. His heart thudded dangerously against his rib cage as damp sweat trickled down his skin. He had an encounter with the shadow beasts recently and was lucky to escape so he was callous to the fact that he might use some opprobrious language to express his speech. Finally, a tug of reprieve etched succinctly in his heart because he knew what he wanted to announce was very pleasing. "Please I urge you
