The fairies wave their hand at the young boy and flew towards him. They fly into his hair and start playing hide and seek with each other. In the distance, we see other little kids playing, but they soon saw the shadow and all of them ran away. The shadow stares at their backs. Once the children were out of sight, the shadow used his sleeve to wipe away his tears and went back playing with the fairies. The boy games with the fairies brought him to a house. There was something strange about the house. The house was on the outskirts of the village and it looks run down. These people might be outcast and live outside of the village. The young shadow looks around and finds a farm behind the house. The shadow sees someone and hides in some bushes and watches the people farm the land. It was a family of three with a little girl the shadow’s age.
This is a funny sight the shadow acts all macho and stuff but is hiding when he sees a girl his age. I look at my sister and she just shakes her head. “I bet he still thinks like that little boy now. He is just a big kid.” The family seems underweight, and the girl is someone you wouldn’t remember on the street if you pass them by. She had a dark brown skin tone with big cheeks. She had braids running down her back. She looks like a little brown squirrel. It doesn’t look like she had a bath in her life.
Yet looking at the shadow’s face, he is in love with her. He cannot take his eyes off of her. The fairies try to pull him away, but he just sat there looking at the girl. The fairies tired of trying to pull him away and instead sat on top of his head. The screen moves faster and day turn into night. The fairies have left the shadow, and he was still in the bush watching the family. They seem done with their work and start heading back inside. That is when the little girl looks at the bushes where the shadow is hiding. She gives him a smile and waves her hand at him. The shadow sees her looking at him and takes off into the night. He runs back home where his mother hugs him tightly. She cries, “sister why is she crying like that?” my sister sighs and says, “the shadow is out past the time he usually home or he went somewhere that his mother couldn’t find him. She was worried about him and is happy that he is safe and sound. Or there is another reason he worries her. If he turns out lost or something. something might wipe the village and her off the face of the planet.” I turn back to the screen and it seems like there was another time shift now it is a new day. The shadow once again the shadow sneaks into the bushes, but this time the little girl was waiting for him. She takes his hand and takes him down to her farm. At first, the shadow looked shocked and now he seems happy to follow her.

She shows him to her parents and the adults just look at him with cold emotionless eyes and go back to work. She took the shadow to another part of the farm and started showing him how she works. The shadow picks it up quickly and in no time at all; they finish the job. The parents looked at the kids and just nodded and the shadow took the girl to the lake because they finished the work. The shadow shows the little girl how to skip the stones on top of the water. They played to the girl’s parents went to the lake and got her. They looked scared and quickly left after they got their child. The next day, the shadow and the little girl did the farm work again. After they finished, the shadow took the girl to the lake again, but this time instead of skipping rocks, the shadow looked around and showed the girl his powers. He shows off he can make a white flame on top of his finger. The little girl is happy and claps her hands at the sight and the shadow puts on a huge grin. He shows off in front of the girl. With a wave of his hand he made the water move to his will and then he makes a house out of the earth. Around them he made day turn into night and he made a snowman. The girl was excited about every little thing. After showing off his powers to the little girl, he takes her to the fairies. The fairies that were playing in the grass happy flies toward the shadow and the little girl. They play with the little girl’s hair and her giggles and hides behind the shadow. They play until once again the girl’s parent gets her and brings her back home.
“That little girl is my first wife. I will do another time skip also we didn’t have a language, so I never had a name and neither did she. She was one of the few people that weren’t afraid of me or my powers. Now let’s get back to the show.” The shadow’s wife is now pregnant, and she is now giving birth. She gives birth to two baby boys. One has a fairy flying around him and the other one just burn fire. The shadow’s wife had this huge smile on her face after seeing her children‘ abilities, but the shadow looked confused. He pokes his children a few times and tries his head in confusion. “Hmm, I forgot this part happen. Ok, people, I am not a monster that hates his children. But I am a monster that you all should fear, no my children were so much weaker than me, it left me to confuse. I later found out it is because they had so much of my blood inside of them they couldn’t use my abilities to their full power. My blood was way too powerful for their weak bodies. So they could only unlock a miniscule of power. That tattoo on my hand was a lock that the fairies put on me from going out of control and I have been doing that to my decent as well unconscious. They can only use how much power as I think they can take, well my blood decides. Now back to the movie.”

After the shadows little speech, we go back to watching the family interacting with each other. The shadow was poking the babies bellies, and they were laughing. “Come to me you do not belong there.” It was the first time we heard a speech from someone, and also it was in English. The shadow looks around trying to find the source, but no one in the room spoke. “I am in your head follow the waves to find me.” The shadow leaves the room and looks up at the sky. The focus zooms in and we see what must be the red planet Mars with life and buildings. They look way more advance than we were and had spaceships leaving the planet. There was a guy waving his hand with a red dragon, white tiger, Phoenix, and a world turtle beside him. “We are your friends come here the world you are living now is below you. I can show you things that you couldn’t even imagine.” The shadow shrinks his shoulders and walks back inside with his wife that came out with a worried face. He smiles then went back playing with his children. There was a long black swipe.
