In the Shadow’s clan meeting room all the members were 
gathered.  They were all talking to each other for they 
were confused as to why Panther would be calling a 
meeting that required all of the Shadow to be there.  As
Panther approached the front of the room everybody
suddenly became quiet, no sound could be heard except 
Panther's footsteps on the stone floor.  When Panther 
reached the front he stood for a minute to compose 
himself and then began talking.  "Shadow members.  I 
have gathered you all to tell you of a great evil that 
has once again shown itself.  It may seem to some of you
not of the clan’s concern especially with mention of the
Omni Gem.  But it is indeed of Shadow concern for it is 
our fault this evil was created and therefor our 
responsibility to see that it is destroyed," Panther 
said.  He then continued on after a second or two. "Some
of you may remember Hyru.  He came to this clan about 
twenty years ago.  Hyru was a very undisciplined and 
unpleasant man, but he was willing to learn.  So we the
Shadow clan took him in and taught him our ways.  He 
became quit a skilled warrior after years of training 
and learning.  Over time though he kept wanting to learn
more and his hunger for power grew," Panther paused for 
a minute because it seemed that he suddenly became 
agitated in going on.  "I told Hyru to be satisfied with
his power but he wanted more and would not let me stand 
in his way.  He stole the secrets of the Shadow and 
abused the powers.  He even took the power of the 
TIZANS!!," Panther said at last.  The members suddenly 
began talking wildly to each other for they knew what 
the Tizan’s were and knew they were forbidden.  "The 
Shadow ruled to banish Hyru from the clan and from the 
state of Kinshou, telling him never to return.  Hyru 
over time has gained more power and has disobeyed the 
ruling and returned but not alone.  He has gathered up 
other followers from different clans and people from 
around the world.  He has formed his own clan and 
intends to take over the world!!  He will begin by 
destroying the Shadow first and then anyone else who 
stands in his way.  The Shadow’s course is clear.  We 
must find Hyru and kill him.  First we need information 
on where he is hiding," Panther said.  Panther pointed 
to two Shadow warriors and told them to go collect all 
the information they could on Hyru and then return back 
to base.  Pressure was mounting and time was against the
Shadow.  Hopefully no new problems would impede their 
progress.
