I was gonna wait till Nahla's story was done but now I realized lot of it won't make sense due to the odd mention of characters never heard of before. So I do advise you read this first and then read How Do I Still Live as a sequel...when they are done anyay.
This is pretty much of how the Shadowlands came to be,they weren't always like the way they are.
So what happened?
Read on and find out

Chapter 1: Bred For Evil
A purple female longneck laid peacefully on her side,her red eyes dropping from laziness. Artemis yawned and flicked her tail waiting for the return of her mate. The black and grey male was walking slowly back towards the nest. Dionysus's amber eyes flickered boredly. He wanted some action. He knew he would have some soon as his beloved mate Aretmis was pregnant. The child would be born and trained for war. The land was just recovering from a heavy drought. The herd had lost some members but Dionysus just shrugged them off deeming them unfit anyway.
The herd was like no other,this herd was evil. They lived for war and bloodshed. The former leaders-Dionysus's parents Cadmus and Semele walking towards him.
Semele smiled at her son her grey eyes still having the murderous look she was born with,her tinted black scales were covered in red scars from old wars. "When will they be born?" she asked referring to the expected children.
Dionysus thought for a minute "Artemis should lay the eggs any day now,she seems tired all the time lately" he flicked his long tail "I just hope I get at least one son to take over my role".
Cadmus nodded,the old mud brown male with amber eyes that he passed on to his son agreed "Yes,you need at least one. However it is best there is only one. Remember Attis? That was drama..kinda fun though" he laughed.
Attis was Dionysus's brother,wanting to be leader of the herd he challenged his brother who Cadmus already gave his role to. The fight was bloody by Dinoysus came out the victor much to Casmus's relief. He was afraid he might have chosen the weaker one as his heir,rather then worry about his sons safety. But such is life as a longneck many knew at the time as 'Bloodshedders'. Or just flat out murders.
Aretmis jerked her head up at sudden rush of pain "DIONYUS!" she screamed.
Another herd member-Galli rushed to her leaders side "Calm my leader,soon the heir will be here. And we can continue to bring torment and death to world for many more years" she chuckled.
Dionyus gently smacked the red female "Now now Galli don't be nice" he teased before lowering his head to his mate "It's time now?".
Artemis nodded and screamed again.
Dark thunder colours quickly covered the sky the sky turning a sicking red.,the herd cheered. This was a sign of a demonic presence to them. This was just to great.
The world will suffer and beg for their mercy...serves them right for what they did to them.
Artemis kept screaming out,Dionyus rubbed her cheek "It'll be ok,soon our children be born".
Artemis gritted her teeth but did not answer just tried to get through this laying already so she could get her beauty sleep.
A few hours passed
Two large eggs laid by Artemis's side a,she was looking at them a satisfied smile on her face.
Dioynus jumped on to a ledge as the clouds cleared and showed the red sky he let out a evil laugh "BE PREPARED!" he shouted to the world.
The herd gathered to look at the eggs-the eggs bred for evil.
