The Shadow Games

Your body flares w/ ki energy it travels thru your body down your arm and to your hand. There you form it into an orb in your hand and w/ all you have fire a blast straight at the figure.
Your father yells out as the blast passes him by. The figure readies himself and knocks the attack rapidly towards your father. Your father is ready however and is able to bounce the beam back.
Something resembling a tennis match begins as your father and the figure struggle w/ the beam. Your father comes out the victor though and the beam catchs the figure a unawares and takes its head cleanly off.
You rush to your father and embrace him. You, visibly shaken, ask what happened. Your father tells you of a dark-cloaked man that had come to the door. How it asked for...you!
How it had killed your mother when she refused to let it in. How your brothers had defended your sisters, but one by one fell to it. And how it unleased an unbelievable amount of energy that had destroyed the house. Which then led up to the fight between he (your father) and the figure.
Your face is red from the crying as you try to regain your composure. Your father places his hand on your shoulder, "Forget it," he says choked up, "it has passed, life WILL go on."
Suddenly you both get a weird feeling. As you turn around you see the fallen shape reforming its missing head. Aghast, you both stand there frozen. The figure stand and removes its cloak to reveal, not a man, nor a woman, but something that you could not really put a name on. Darkness shaped into a human form.
The darkness that it consisted of was so black that it killed the light around it. And as you stand there in shock it lunges for your father once more and somehow breaks thru you and your father's defense.
Forming its appendages into slender spikes, it drives them thru your father, repeated times. For some reason you are unable to move. It bounces back and you both watch as your father falls limp to the ground...
The figure stands up-right and defiant. It turns its errie gaze upon you. "Are you Rio Lamei?" it asks
