The dragon gives a small sigh of relief.Not what, but who. At least I think. Whatever it may be, it is no good. I am the only who knew of this creature before now. At least to my knowledge. It and I have encountered twice. The first time, I was unable to reform for a while. The second time, I hid. This creature is a black, shapless form, able to manipulate it's matter into tentacles, which it uses as we use hands or claws or whatnot. I named it Anti because of what it obviously is: anticreation, antilife, antiexistence, antieverything. For all I know, it lives only for destruction. You can understand my fear. He shudders slightly as he recollects that encounter and he smiles a grim smile.

The unicorn nodded. I and my kind call it Shadow.
The leopard shook its head, bemused. I see. I have never seen it before, but I have heard legends passed down from my ancestors. We call it the Destroyer.

The dragon nods. Ah. So I am not the first to know and survive.....that is good. It means that whatever this is is not undefeatable.....or at least not unescapable......still, no matter it's name, it's goal seems as obvious as our bright warm sun: Destruction.

The wolf frowns slightly, hearing about all this darkness and destruction made it quake in fear. Even with this evil, will it be able to be stopped? the wolf whispers, trotting over to the small group. The phoenix nods slowly, answering to the others. I have heard before that my kind calls this thy Darkness. My kind quakes in fear like the wolf, they are afraid. the phoenix mutters, still perched 'pon the branch.

The unicorn inclined its head, horn glinting like polished moonshine. I have never met this Shadow, this DarkDestroyer, but I have heard many tales, woven under the stars while frost settle in. It seems to be a deadly and fearsome thing.

A white pegasus, with mane and tail golden as a sunbeam, has been standing there unnoticed. He suddenly moves, stirring attention, especially to the golden star upon his forehead. I know this Shadow, he whispers, almost better than I know myself.... His eyes flash crimson in the sun. Yes, I have heard the tales...but I know so much more...so much.... I have been encumbered with a terrible secret...for I have seen the Shadow. He pauses for a moment. His existence is still more dangerous than that of Man, but there is no way to escape it; it settles thickly upon the grass and flowers and trees--and onto the very air--like dust might in an old abandoned cave or den. Although it is not especially near, its presence is made known everywhere...the world has felt its burden since the blackened, inky night when it was born in the shadows. I was there, and I hid; but it is true.
The Shadow has been reborn.

The dragon looks thoughful.Hmmm.......Whatever it may be, I can't help but ponder......'twas it this that has made man so cruel of late, or is it born of man's hate? The dragon gives a little smile of amusement at his unintentional rhyme.

The unicorn paused. It is my belief that it is not born of man's hate, but reflects it. It reflects the hostilities of all the world, all the universe. I do not think Man's existence is quite so dangerous. So of them know, some of them are fighting.
The leopard growled. I do not have courage like the dragon, tenacity like the wolf, nor wisdom like the unicorn, phoenix, and pegasus. All I know is to fight when I can fight and plan for when I cannot. The question is, will this be enough?

The pegasus nods, his amber eyes again flashing scarlet. The unicorn is right. The Shadow is not of Man; no, the Shadow reflects--is--all the evil of the world...everything, including the streak of evil in all creatures. Man does not contain everything bad. He frowns, his eyes lowering with solemnity.

The wolf blinks curiously in the conversation about the shadow. Reflects it? And I thought other things were weird... it mutters, looking over at the phoenix, who is nodding. The Darkness has been reborn... I slightly remember a tale of which the darkness was reborn, but I never knew that it was true. The phoenix pauses.

What had appeared to be an owl gives off a slight hoot, and then jumps off of the branch it had used as a perch. As it jumps into the air, it starts to change, and soon a green dragon with patches of yellow stands there, and she folds her wings. I listened to what you said. I too sensed the danger, which is why I stayed hidden in owl form. I should have guessed that Shadow had come. She lays down up on the ground, curling her tail up against her side. This is a danger to all creatures that walk the planet. I shall help an any way possible.

So, it is like this creature feeds off of evil. The more evil there is, the stronger it is. The dragon summons a small whirlwind in a nearby spot of sand with a small wave of his claw. ............Oh. Tell me, shall we speak our names, or shall we be addressed by what we are?

The dragon smiles. Heh...No, I meant as for me to be referred to as the Wind Dragon and you as the Shapeshifting Dragon. My name is Ashtarth.

The phoenix stares off into the forest, than looks back towards the group. I'm one of the great Birds of Flame, but everyone else calls me Shishangi... And this is Dintelle... the phoenix points at the wolf with it's beak, the wolf nodding slowly. I'm the wolf of ice... even though it doesn't look very much like it. The wolf chuckles, then blows a bit of ice out slowly, making a small sculpture.
