"No"
"Nooo"
"Nooo----"
The scream cuts as a blade a meter long ,seamlessly slides through the flesh. The wind blows picking up dust and blood , going across a desolate remnants of a field trampled by the presence of battle. There stands a youth nearly 2 meters tall , skin the color of onyx, azure glyphs cover his arms and back, his black and white hair grown past his eyes and down his back, with eyes the color of emeralds but the shine has dulled.
Looking towards the horizon , he aimlessly walks the field . He reaches a tree on the side of the field. He sets his blade and equipment down beside him as he sits and leans against the tree ,viewing the entire field of decapitated soldiers, rangers,and magicians. Dusk soon settles and youth sits quietly in the night.
" They sent squadron after squadron after you. Time and time again you defeated them. An unrivaled combatant."
A sudden female voice breaks the ethereal silence that enveloped the land causing the youth to jump and reach for his blade. To his surprise the only thing capable of acting was his mind and his eyes.
"Unrivaled ,yet the last of the Nightkin. Your people sought after by the other races to join their alliance for peace but only fell victim to betrayal. The humans feared you, the elves loathed you, the orcs wanted your land, demons wanted to devour you ,the dwarves your craft expertise, and finally the Draconians just wanted a challenge. I ask you are you tired from your journey?"
Silence
"Hmmmm almost slipped my mind"
SNAP*
The sound seems to echo stretch across the entire realm. The power that emanated from just two fingers seemed to shake the world. Making the youth nervous and cautious of who this mysterious being was and what she wanted with him.
"My family gone , friends tortured and executed , my entire race gone except for me. I ask you wouldn't you tire from this life? Why do you ask this ? who are you?"
Silence
Slowly a female figure walks out from the shadows beyond the tree. Her night black hair , marble colored skin, she shined as bright as the sun in that void like night. The youth gasp for she was by far the most breath taking beauty he had laid eyes upon.
"My child, I am the goddess of night Nyx. I made your people, you are my children. However much you have my favor there is only so much that I can control and aid you with. Lucian out of your entire race you have been the most talented and outstanding of your kind."-Nyx

"Have you come to just tell me this! Where were you when my people needed you ?! WHY ONLY ME?!!!"-Lucian
Sparkling diamond like tears slowly cascaded down the goddesses face. A look of sadness and despair that enveloped everything in the surrounding area came to pass. Death itself would not dare tread within this zone for if it did it would be shattered and cast into the abyss.
"I....I am restrained for what I'm allowed to do in mortal affairs. I have mourned the loss of my children, however you are the last and I will offer you a choice . Your people are much like the elves and the fairies where as they have no determined life span like the humans or the other races. You may continue on in your current path and perhaps you make it out alive or die in the process, or you can accept my gift and be sent into the distant future where the races have all but forgotten the Nightkins, giving you a new start in a world fresh from this blight. You will be free to carve your own path in the world without fear of the threat of today."-Nyx
"Goddess Nyx, I can witness your grief and despair and feel it surpass even mine . How can I not take this choice , I am your last child and this is to ensure my safety. I will accept your offer and in will revive the Nightkin race where I am going."- Lucian
"Lucian you have pleased your Goddess and with that I will gift you with a companion on your future travels as well as give you my blessings. Take this Shadow pup. This pup is different from its kind that your race bred and domesticated I will leave its hidden traits for you to discover. I will be watching you so do not disappoint yourself or me. You are the pride of your race as well as your goddess . Now sleep Lucian."- Nyx
Lucian's eyes grew heavy as Nyx spoke this command. He quickly drifted into a deep slumber. A Sphere made up of what looked to be the night sky itself surrounded the slumbering Lucian. It proceeded to float 3 meters off the ground, and then slowly shrank in size with each passing second. Until finally all that was left of the sphere was a small dot and even after a moments time that too disappeared as if it never existed to begin with.
The silhouette of the Goddess of night slowly moved towards the tree line. Pausing only just a second to look back at the battle field and the previous location of where Lucian was sleeping.
"see you soon Lucian."- Nyx
The Goddess slowly sank into the shadows.
