In the world between shadows and light was wherei once dwelled, forever lost in the gray swirling mist that was my jail.  I looked into the daylight as was looked at with disdain, so into the shadows i retreated to hide away my pain.  I wandered aimlessly, always moving, never knowing a place to call home, until that fatefulled day, when the Queen of Darkness was made known.  At first I was afraid of her and kept myself at bay, but little by little I ventured forth to hear what she would say. And then on a starless night, while I shivered all alone, she held out her hand to me and found me a place among her island home.  And as I ventured forth and walked around my new found home, I came to realize that I was not alone.  There was Ariana and Yesenia, the girl with many names, the baby of the group named Carol and a one armed guy named James.  And when his duties would permit, prince consort Aron would come to stay and we would joke and laugh and spend our time at play.  So after months of living on the moonlight isle and talking for a bit, I found out wat I was missing in my life and for once everything finally fit.But little did I know that mischief was afot and all the cards were stacked against us, so a little push was all it took; to set the dire events in motion to bring about the cruelest fate, to send the dwellers of the light against us, full of all their hate.  The first to fall was james, he was banished far and all alone and only the Queen and her three nightowls were left to guard their island home.  The sensual voiced Shalanda and the stripper boy named Jaun came to help us fight, and to protect our island home and to dance under the moonlight.  But even as we grew in strenght, the forces of the light planned to keep us at bay  and in their devious planning, they took our queen and placed her on a giant bird, whick took her far away.  So alone the little nightowls stood in the cold and driving rain, huddled close togeether trying to stand the strain.  At first they sat there with no direction in their eyes, but then a little messanger came to them and hurriedly they did rise.  Their Dark Queen had sent word to them, to hold fast and stay true, so they laced up their boot straps and decided that is what they would do.they spent their nights and days calling allies to help them in their fight, and they kept their Queen informed when they wrote her every night.  But the Child of the Light was busy too, or so it semmed and she reached the Overlord of the West adn together they did skeam.  The days dragged on, the seasons turned and the earth brought fruit to bare, by the time the Dark Queen freed herself, her lovely island home was no longer there.  The two loely nightowls and the princce consort came to her with eyes over flowing wit tears, and they began to thell her of the cruel event and of all their deepest fears.  So the Queen and her little nightowls wandered aimlessly across the burning sands, looking for a place to live in these new and savage lands.  Three new friends wer found to help guide them on their way, and little did they know tha Veronica, Rosalee, and Esmeralda would decide to stay.  The sun had set on the old ways and a new moon rose to take it's place, but if they had known what was ahead, their smiles would have fallen from their face.  For the dwellers of the light were not content and they continued to linger round, until they found the nightowls and proceeded to beat them down.  And althougth the numbers were immense and no hope they held in sight, they rose back to their feet and whole heartedly they did fight.  Seeing her precious nightowls and not wanting them to die, she made a choice that saved them, but it was at a kingly price.  She was forced to leave the nightowls and they also were forced to disban and they wre flung far from each other into the four corners of the land.  With tear filled eyes they stood torn and weary from the fight, then one by one they wiped their eys and began to sing and dance under the moonlight.  their  pace quickened as they spun, their hopes and dreams taking flight, their hearts filled with abounding love and loyalty for her highness, the Dark Queen of the Night.
