This bully was scared half out of his breech-clout. Bom's abject cringing pleased her more than screams. A tall shadow loomed in the doorway of his tent. Terrified, Eolair gasped and flung himself to one side, scrabbling for his sword. But I still say that getting laid is the best workout there is. That wasn't so bad, Julio said without gasping. was only coming to check on the Queen's box. The same? Have you lost your mind? How could you think we are the same in any way! He craves power! He would chance destroying the world to get it! I don't want power, I just wanted to be left alone! He murdered my father! He ripped his guts out! He's trying to kill us all! How can you saw we are alike? You make it sound like he isn't even dangerous! And it seemed at this very minute some sound startled my sister, and she looked about her, and I heard a faint echoing laughter come from the darkness of the stairs.Ĭaptain Kemal says this is it, and I have the map from the Russian. ''Balance is a lie - we are the true ninjas.I thought of those small beings I had seen for an instant at the castle gates. Zed rules as the Order's master, and his edict is simple: perfect one's technique, and kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows. Now the temple is a dark training ground for the Order of the Shadow. Though many students died, some escaped thanks to Shen's heroic efforts. Screaming in rage, Zed commanded his followers to slaughter the master's students and seize the box. Mysteriously, he emerged unscathed, and threw the severed head of the master at Shen's feet. Moments later, the assembled ninjas heard Zed cry out in pain. The dark ninja followed the master inside. The old man implored Zed to enter the temple, destroy the box, and lead his followers to balance. By banishing his former student, the master had doomed Zed to the shadows, instead of leading him to the balanced path. The old man laid his sword at Zed's feet, declaring that he had failed Zed as his master. At the gates, he was surprised to find the old master waiting, receiving Zed and his disciples as if they were welcome guests. He led them back to the temple to claim his prize. One day, Zed looked at his followers and saw that his students were now an army. As his power grew, so did his circle of followers, but he knew that without the box, his technique would never be perfect. His bitterness turned to ambition, and he began to train others in the style of the shadows. Humiliated, the young ninja wandered for years. He expected praise and recognition in his moment of victory, but somehow the master knew Zed had used forbidden ways, and banished him. Now armed with a secret edge, he challenged Shen, and this time he defeated the master's son. In an instant, shadows touched his mind, revealing techniques that had long been hidden. Sensing the dark knowledge within, Zed knew he should not open it, but he peered inside nonetheless. The young ninja ventured into a sealed part of the clan's temple, where he found an ornate, foreboding box. Frustrated and jealous, he sought an advantage. It seemed Zed could never win the favor of the master, as every match between the rivals ended in a draw. Only one other student appeared to be Zed's equal - the master's son, Shen. Zed now offers power to those who embrace knowledge of the shadows, and slays those who cling to ignorance.Īn orphan, Zed was taken in and trained by a great ninja master. He defied his clan and master, casting off the balance and discipline that had shackled him all his life. Zed is the first ninja in 200 years to unlock the ancient, forbidden ways.
