Tales From the Shadow Guardians

Perhaps a little background would be in order.

They call us the Shadow Guardians, because we are Shadows (Digimon without physical form). They also think we are nothing but myth and legend, but as they say, "All myth has its roots in fact." We were created about the same time as the Digital World: twenty-four thousand years ago give or take a few centuries.

We were created specifically to decrease damage by natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and wild fires (my specialty). Each of us has a pure elemental status, one for each for a grand total of ten.

Our leader is the Light Guardian. He decides (second to the Creator) where we go, what takes precedence over what, who goes and what he does once he gets there, and how we train during the off seasons. The Dark Guardian is second to him, deciding these things in his absence.

I, the Flame Guardian, have been blessed with the gift of having multiple counter elements. I work in almost all environments, including submarine conditions. Stemming from that fact, I've seen the majority of the Digital World and its history (much of which I am inclined to share).

(NOTE: Starting from the year 00000, the Creation, whatever year I say, divide that by four and you'll have the time in the Real World. It might present a parallel to our timeline.)

A/N: This is from the same world as the Digital War series. I'd like to present to you a timeline for the Digital World in the form of a series of short stories told from the point of view of the Flame Guardian, BurningGreymon, and maybe a few others as I see the need. I may not update this as often as some other things, but there shouldn't be that many excerpts.

Currently, I plan to do the Creation, a couple of excerpts from the Clan Wars, the overthrow of each Imperial Dynasty, the rise of the great cities, and DrakeAngemon's death. One might think of this as a prologue to the Digital War series.
