B A C K S T O R Y

How did I get to be a Councillor?
__The story I’ve always been told was that Pitch decided he wanted to fill all of the Councillor positions as soon as possible after my brother, Dusk, was born and became the next Councillor. I was chosen purely because of my blood relations to the majority of the current Councillors.
__As to how I became the Head Trainer, I happened to sneak inside the current trainer’s pack as a hatchling and make it all the way to the training site. The dragons who were battling at the moment let me watch them train from a distance for a couple hours before Pitch came back here looking for me.
__“Shadow, what are you doing? These dragons exist just because we need money. You’re an esteemed Councillor, you don’t have to leave the safety of the Shadow Fortress.”
__“But Pitch,” I whined, “This is really cool! Why can’t I learn to fight?”
__Pitch rolled his eyes. “Fine. I’ll talk to Loophole about training you in defensive fighting techniques when we get back. Hey, if you want, you could become the head of defense for the entire Fortress! Wouldn’t that be cool?”
__“No. I want to learn to fight monsters! Evan showed me a few of her moves, and-”
__Pitch made a big show of putting me down and storming towards Evan. “Why have you been filling my grandson’s head with your battle nonsense? He’s a Councillor, for Shadowbinder’s sake!”
__Evan shrugged, saying, “He insisted on it. Since he’s a Councillor, we had to follow his orders.”
__With a big exhale, Pitch pinched the bridge of his nose with his claws and muttered something. I couldn’t catch everything, but I did hear, “… why… shouldn’t… multiple leaders…”
__When he looked me straight in my eyes again, it was terrifying. “I’ll tell you what, Shadow. When we get back to the Fortress, we’ll talk about it with the rest of the Councillors. How does that sound?” When I nodded, he scooped me up again and set off for the Tangled Wood.
__The Council argued for what seemed like hours about what to do with me. Half of them were on Pitch’s side, saying that it would look bad if a Councillor became a trainer, and the other half took the stance that I should be able to make it my specialty.
__They finally decided on my current situation, but it still hurts to think about how many of them didn’t support my dreams.

_PERSONALITY_

____There’s nothing worse than being taken advantage of just because it’s so easy. I’m ashamed to admit, I let it happen. But one of these days, I’ll be able to see right through a lie. And when it does, I’ll finally be strong enough to fight back when they try to exploit me.

____It’s not easy to harden your heart after years of trusting. The need to please can get in your way. Because I’m so used to trying my hardest to help anyone I can, I can’t summon the strength to say no. So now, I try to uncover the true purpose behind every kind word, and find an ulterior motive that will keep my trusting side from coming out.
Whenever I’m needed, I show up. Whenever I need something, I’m met with excuse after excuse not to help me when I’m in a tight spot. It’s time I started doing the same.

_INFORMATION_

____Role in Clan - Head Trainer/Shadow Councillor - As well as being a Shadow Councillor, Shadow is the head fighter and goes out with the Coliseum team to train them.

____Strength - Because she is so trusting, everybody trusts Nyx without question. If she did suddenly change her personalty to a liar, she could get away with nearly everything before anyone gets suspicious. Not that she would, of course.

____Weakness - She's gullible, and she hates it. Anything you tell her, Nyx will believe. Only later does she realize how stupid she was to believe it. But it's something she's working on, she promises.

The thing with battle is that it isn’t complicated.
__Okay, yeah. Strategy is complicated. Your opponents are complicated. But you usually just have one goal: to win, at all costs, without dying yourself.
__But the Council. They are very complicated. Because I’m gone a lot, they constantly change their goals. I am never up to date on anything when I return, and I have just barely had enough time to comprehend the changes before I am sent back again to the battlefield. I’m a Councillor in name only.
__Today, I came back from a particularly exciting trip, with Raymundo in tow. She had just completed her training and was ready to be sold to train other dragons.
__Pitch met me in the foyer as I approached. “Raymundo. Good to see you again. Go see the battle coordinator, please, I need to bring Shadow to today’s Council meeting.”
__As Raymundo set off, I turned to Pitch and asked, “What changes were made while I was away?”
__Pitch scowled. “You’ll see.”
__I walked into the main Council room. The Councillors each sat at their respective seats, clearly waiting for me to sit down. Dusk made a big show of rolling his eyes.
I sank into my chair in between him and Raven. Pitch stood up and said, “I call to order today’s Council meeting. First on the agenda, I’d like to discuss our current situation with a certain secret that somehow has been leaked.”
__Ebony said, “I can’t believe the Council would do something like this. It’s really mean, and I think we should have trusted those dragons more.”
__Murk nodded, adding, “I think it would be best if we remove all traces of those elements before they confront us, then we can play it off like it was just an unreliable rumor.”
__“I completely agree. That would prevent any damage we take and convince more dragons to take our side.” Dusk looked around the room, and his eyes settled on me. He smirked. “What do you think, Shadow?”
__Crap. The entire Council’s eyes were on me now. Of course, I had no idea what was going on, because I’m only here for meetings, and we hadn’t addressed anything like this before.“I, um, think that the… rumor in question has… um… I mean we should… What Murk said. Yeah. That.”
__Pitch blinked. “Shadow, what exactly do you think is going on here?”
__“To be honest,” I murmured, “I wish I knew.”
__Every dragon in that room gave me looks of disappointment, except Dusk, who I could tell was trying to stifle a laugh. Pitch slammed his hands on the table.
__“You know what, Shadow? I’m sick of your ignorance during these meetings! Dusk, can you do me a favor and explain what’s happened?”
__“Gladly, Pitch.” Dusk’s smirk grew wider as he said, “Before there was an entire Council like we have now and back when we were first starting here, Pitch laced the walls of the Light, Arcane and Plague hallways with all of the elements that make them weak. Somehow, the rumor has gotten out and is spreading around the clan like wildfire, and we need to get to the bottom of it. Honestly, Shadow, it’s almost like you’re never here for anything important.”
__Pitch nodded. “Thank you, Dusk, although we could have gone without that last part. But he is right, Shadow. You should learn how to balance your responsibilities as Councillor with your battle outings, or face the consequences.”
__This wasn’t the first time he’s said those exact words to me. It’s gotten real old, real fast. Clenching my fists under the table, I snapped, “Oh yeah? What would those consequences be?”
__The room became so silent, you could hear a pin drop. Pitch’s purple scales on his face grew redder and redder as we stared at each other. I can’t see myself, of course, but I imagine I looked defiant and almost triumphant, while Pitch just looked angry. Angrier than I’d ever seen before.
__“Shadow,” Pitch said softly, voice dangerous, “If you must know, that would mean expulsion from the Council if you continue at the rate you’re going at.”
__I smiled. “You know, Pitch, I never wanted to be here in the first place. I suck at diplomacy, I can’t manage my time on my own, and I’m always away. Maybe you should kick me out. I’d be just fine with that.”
__The rest of the Council collectively gasped. If looks could kill, I’m sure I’d be fried to a crisp by seven red hot glares. We remained that way for a solid minute.
__Finally, Pitch closed his eyes. “Everybody out. Except Shadow.”
__The Councillors filed out and closed the door, but knowing them, they were probably all pressed up against it, trying to listen to what was going on in this room.
__Pitch sat down. “It’s just you and me now, Shadow. I want you to tell me why you want to leave the Council. I’ll try my best not to get mad, but you have to work with me here.”
__“When you brought me into the Council, you made it abundantly clear that I would have to do a bunch of boring Councillor stuff, but the truth is, I can’t do any of it. I also don’t like it when you make me feel like I’m disappointing everyone when I’m not prepared for these meetings. It’s all just too much, and I can’t do everything, but battle is what really appeals to me. I don’t want this Council stuff anymore.”
__Pitch blinked and cocked his head, confused. “What about the power of being a Councillor? Don’t you want that?”
__“The power doesn’t appeal to me at all,” I said and watched Pitch wince. “I don’t think I need to be the one in this position.”
__“Oh, Shadow. The thing is, yes, you are. You may not see it now, but there is a reason you were chosen to fill the position you currently hold."

B I O G R A P H Y

I don’t know what the whole deal with the revolution is. I mean, we haven’t been that bad, have we? I guess I’ve never really been there to see how Pitch and the rest of the Councillors act towards Ice dragons.
__But I’ve worked with some before, and I’ll continue to work with them. They’re nice to have when fighting Water enemies.
__When I was visiting the Councillor’s chambers, as I do every few days, Pitch was sitting and banging his head on the desk.
__“Um, Pitch? Are you okay?”
__“No. Shadow, how are we supposed to deal with the dragons who have ideas?”
__“Ideas?”
__“Yes, ideas. Ideas can be dangerous. I don’t want us to run into an issue with the revolution.”
__“Don’t worry, Pitch. We’ll still have plenty of dragons who are loyal to us once everyone gets sorted out.”
__“Yes, but not enough!” Pitch stood up and flew around me in circles. “We have to do something without it looking bad. Like we’re trying to suppress this revolution at all costs.”
__I considered for a moment. Thinking out loud, I replied, “What if, instead of trying to force them, incentivize them to stay.”
__“Brilliant, Shadow. It’s a shame you’re rarely in here, we need you and your good ideas more often.”
__“I thought you said ideas-”
__“You know,” he continued, “it’s up to us. We have the responsibility here to keep total chaos from breaking out.”
__So I guess the reason I’m siding with Shadow is, I’m a Councillor. It’s my job. And I go along with what they want.

EXTENDED LORE

After a long day of listening to the complaints of the clan in the weekly meeting, I stumbled into my room and hastily gathered all of my supplies. I didn’t have to be back in the Shadow Fortress until a few days later for a Council meeting. As I grabbed a to-go box of my favorite insects and meats from the dining room buffet, Pitch knocked on the wall next to the doorway. With Pitch, it was less of a way of asking permission to enter and more like a warning that he’d be entering the room.
__“Can I help you?” I said, flicking a stray beetle back into the box.
__“I’m just here to wish you luck on your next expedition, and to check up on the progress of our current recruits.”
__“I’m confident Raymundo will reach her full potential within the week, but Cory still isn’t as aggressive as I need him to be.”
__“Well, change that as soon as possible. Selling dragons with battle expertise is one of the main sources of income, and we’ll need the funds for expansion in the future.”
__“Will do.” I shoved the last of my things into my bag and headed towards the door, but Pitch stopped me with his claws.
__He glared at me with his big eyes. “Shadow?” he said sternly, “Please be prepared for the meeting in a few days. You know I hate it when you aren’t up to date on Council decisions.”
__I saw the current battle team when I flew over our camp in the Tsunami Flats. Raymundo was stretching, while Cory was nervously stuffing his face with the rabbits from his bag.
__“Are we ready for a day of fighting monsters?” I said as I approached. Raymundo snapped to attention, while Cory sighed and slowly got up.
__“What’s going on at the Fortress? Has Ice made a move yet?” Raymundo asked.
__“Nothing new. If something happens with the Ice Fortress, I’ll fly over here immediately and tell you guys. Now let’s get going. I’m excited for today. Have you guys taken your potions yet?”
__“We drank them just a few minutes before you arrived.”
__I pulled out a bottle and poured the potion to help me breathe underwater down my throat. “Come on.”
__We swam down into the Sea of a Thousand Currents, scanning the sand for any sign of monsters. Behind me, Raymundo exclaimed, “There! Some cloud chasers!”
__Cory visibly looked relieved and geared up his offensive Shadow magic, ready to combat the Wind oriented monsters. As we got closer, Raymundo swam ahead and used her claws to attack the closest one, and I did the same, storing the energy each attack gave me. A few moments later, Cory finished off the last one with one more Shadow attack.
__“Well done, guys. Take a little break and get your-” But Cory was shaking violently. He pointed behind me at a cluster of golden porpoises.
__“Wind and Shadow magic does nothing to Light. We should run while we still can!”
__Of course. At the beginning of every dragon’s battle experience, they hold onto ideas about elements and how they compare. It’s infuriating how many dragons there are in this world that keep these ideas firmly implanted into their minds.
__One of the porpoises knocked Cory down. His eyes widened with fear.
__“Shadow! Help!”
__Sighing, I took the energy from the last battle and channeled it into my most powerful attack. When the red smoke cleared, the porpoise was eliminated.
__“Cory? When are you going to learn? You’re more than just your element. As long as you learn that, you will succeed in not just battle, but life.”
