Shadow smiled and shook his head " sadly Shadow is my true name. i dropped my last name the day that my parents died. my true last name is Slatefire. my parents were well know around the world as professional potion makers. i gained that skill already but there is always more to know. they knew that i had the ability to use magic but never got to teach me more of what i could do. they did say that i had the ability to be the strongest person to walk this world but i don't really trust that." he stood up and started walking to the edge of town with her so they could get their horses and leave.
