They armlet, weapon, and armor carry traits based on the spirit. Also when a creature is destroyed and absorbed.(wolf, tiger, ect) It has beenknown that some times the memories are enherited as well. The armlet also has a curse called teh darkened to keep the chosen in check.

False Chosen They are fake chosens that made similar armlets to the real chosens. They are weaker then the real ones but can be very destructive and can be a really threat. They are often made by using a piece of a real armlet and a demon soul instead of a spirit to form a fake armlet. Plus the false chosens do not have to worry about the darkened curse.

Biography: Issildia Nevar is one of the last of the demon slayers. She was taught the art of the blade as well as how to use her powers within the walls of Anier (The White City.)*additional note- Anier and the realm in which it existed, is not of Earth but of another realm.*
It was after the destruction of Anier that Issildia took refuge in the mortal realm in hopes of drawing her Father's assassins off her trail.

(((If anyone wants to know the circumstances concerning why Issildia is being hunted down by her father then check out the story in ~Ashen Blade~)))

While on Earth she realizes that the mortal realm has been tainted with demons and the like. For thousands of years it has been nothing more that humanity's ignorance that has spared Earth and its inhabitants the knowledge of demonic existence. Issildia now uses her powers and abilities to fight those that seek to destroy the balance between the mortal and demonic realm.

~((This is awesome Rei,I wonder what this second installment of the Darkened will turn out like. ))~

((Remember, as Streak hasn't met Yugo yet he is evil. He also doesn't know Kitsune or Hanak so isn't going to betray the demons yet.))

"Magie Has the spirets chose you? Are you a chosen?" *Dash asked Magie who had just came back from the changing Labrenth created as a test for shamens to get to the Forge. Currently the Forge was being used to comunicate with the spirets. Dashes armlet was the first to be created in the Temple of the moons Forge. The other spirets were trying to choose who of all the shamens at the temple that were loyal to them, who should be granted there power and become a "Chosen."*

"No... They spoke and said I have potential, but they are not yet for sertain if I should fight against demons..." *Magie said looking a bet down. Magie was a good friend to Dash and Leos. They all had became shamens and helped each other with the colonies of other shamens that gathered and helped build the temple.*

"Hey.. They havent desided yet.. so you still might get the chance to be a chosen!!" *Leos explained coming out of a room in the temple that was being used as a study for Dark Magic*

"Yah Magie.. Leos is right, you still have a chance!" *Dash said trying to cheere her up.* "Yah your right, theres still a chance for me!" *Magie said smiling again.*

"Tonight my ladies and friends we will be patroling the dark point! Going to come?" *Leos asked who was in between Magie and Dash, and had his arms wraped around both of them*

"Yah I plan to go... Magie how about you, you can use the Bow I made you!" *Dash said trying to purswade Magie to come. The Dark point was a small ruin near by that was created by a dark priest that worshiped the Demon lords. There he had forged a gate that alowed demons to get through with the cost of a sacrafice. The dark priest was killed by a demon lord named Garrion and the Dark point had ever since been abandoned. It was now one of those "Lets go I dare you!" places to go now. Some say every one that goes to the Dark Point sees the ghost of the dark priest cursed to be tormented in his oun ruins like a prison.*

"Yah why not, Ill come with. Ill bring charms just in case!" *Magie teased*

"Then its setteled! Will meat at the forests edge tonight before sun fall!" *Leos said and took off back into the temple to continue his research*

Chehero sat in one of the dark rooms of the castle her father had bussness at the nearby temple and she was orderd not to leave unless she had orders to do so. anger bled through her. why did she have to listen to such and ancient old demon anyways. ears bashed against the young girls head. ** this sucks ** she mutterd slowly at last, as she jumped off her bed. her fox tail swinging behind her. on the table against the far wall from the door Chehero had been studying her magic learning spells and enchantments that her father had wanted her to learn. they where all dark. however her mother seemed to hide a gift from her father one that if he ever found out he would kill both of them.

** alory aneth eain ** she repeated and a single beam of light formed in her hands. a simple healing spell for the wounded. it was a light spell and not one that a demon would greatly apreciate. but her mother was a good demon her father evil. but her mother had abandond the both of them long ago and Chehero was left with only her father. however her spells were too weak to be of any use or protection.

completely bored now Chehero lifted the book from the table and headed out to the temple where her father was. The Temple Of Darkness....

Streak followed them. He needed to get there trust so he'd have to act human. Streak went up to the group.

"Hey are those spiret armlets you have on there?" Streak asked.

"who are you...?" *Dash asked with surprise and backed away slowly* "More guests! I dont recall inviting you..." *Leon spoke, drunk*
