Darkness Within.
In a world full of light and hope, ray had always questioned his existence, his purpose, his will. Ray as a kid had no parents, he was a poor orphan and as long as he could remember he never even saw his parents, he was surviving out of his own will and power.
As time passed on ray came to find happiness as he was adopted by the mistress of the red plains. Since she was infertile and couldn't give birth, she always longed for a kid to raise and ray came to be that child. She gave ray the childhood he never could've thought of.
Life went on until the tragic day where everything fell dark for him. Someone and a specific someone wanted the red mistress to die and apparently the whole mansion got attacked in the deadly night. Everyone massacred except ray of whom the assassin's showed great intrest in after his explosive act of trying to save the mistress. Thus they deciding not to waste such a talent and took him back to the asassin master.
You see ray had posssesd great affinity for shadow control and the assassins could use it but inorder to get ray to obey they had to erase all his memories and hypnotized him into thinking he is an elite weapon only available to the Assassins. They made him believe that he was the son of the asassin master and had to do anything and everything to carry out their order.
That was the rise of SHADE, the most ruthless asassin known to mankind. The once kind and nice boy now a savage and unruly asassin who lives off of killing.Shade continued the great work until his name was far and wide, making people be scared of his mention.
Shade was so ruthless he would kill his victims in broad daylight as people watched in horror and those who stood agaisnt him payed the same price.
One day shade gets sent on a mission to assassinate scarlet, princess of the amulate kingdom, currently she was on a ship and with her she had the amulet of Talos, which as you would expect of a relic has great untapped power. The assassin master wanted the amulet so he sent shade, his new "son" to go and fetch it for him.
Upon arriving on the ship shade kills everyone and right as he is about to asassin the princess he sees a familiar face, the face of mistress and stops creating a small time slip for scarlet to escape, and since she had water affinity, she travels to the nearest island and the whole ship blows up.
Shade wakes up and finds himself in the same island and finds himself weaponless, his weapons taken by scarlet who saved him and now takes him hostage. Turns out the amulet can supress elemental affinities, making shade powerless and weaponless agaisnt the princess. Now stuck in a far away island and being kept hostage by a familiar face will ray regain his memories or will he finish his mission and kill the princess while returning the amulet to his true enemies?
