Luke's StoryOne fateful night, Luke was returning to his home after a long successful hunt, when he was caught flying through a major storm, he was mysteriously struck by lightning, which sent him falling down to earth, to what should have been his death, however he survived, taking minor damage, and was left unconscious for quite some time.
The lightning was not from the storm itself and did not strike Luke from the sky, but came from below, it struck his chest and turned his feathers white. When Luke finally awoke, he found himself in the dark room of a ruined temple, chained and surrounded by evil knights, old servants of the former Master of the Valley, who had captured Luke, in fear of his trico power. One of the knights held a talisman shield, pointing it at Luke in attempt to control him, the others held spears and swords, and just stood there waiting.
Another knight opened a hologram and appeared to be communicating with their new master. A few moments later, a strange cloaked figure entered the room, he looked at Luke with an evil smile and said: “Now you will be mine.” he unleashed a fury of dark lightning that struck Luke, he screamed in pain and pulled at his chains, the lightning turned his feather coat black and his eyes flashed red as the evil master attempted to bond and corrupt him with dark energy. Then, out of nowhere a bright flash of blue lightning lit the room, striking through and killing the knights, all but the one with the shield who managed to deflect the bolt. The master’s bond to Luke was broken as he turned and saw the dead knights. A mysterious creature appeared out of the dark and approached the knight and his master with static sparks flickering from her fingertips. She unleashed another powerful bolt of lightning that destroyed the shield and electrified the knight. The master approached the creature knowing who she was. “Hello Shocker, I have been expecting you.” He stroked her cheek with an evil grin on his face. “And now you too will be mine.” he said with a chuckle. “Ah yes, our long awaited meeting has come at last.” she replied with a confident smile.
Luke could only watch as the two engaged in a short fight, exchanging blows of powerful lightning, Shocker was strong and fast on her feet as she managed to overpower and weaken the master who was eventually defeated. She let out a loud thunderous roar, signifying her victory, she then backed away, sparing his life and allowed him to leave. “You’ve not seen the last of me!” the master said as two knights came to his aid and escorted him out of the temple. Luke looked at Shocker with cautious yellow eyes, he was still agitated from being nearly corrupted and struggled to break free of his chains. The creature slowly approached him, and spoke softly: “Don’t worry boy, you are safe now.” she grabbed the chains and a stream of lightning shot out from her paws, breaking the links and freeing him. Luke stood up, shook his feathers, then looked at her again with deep blue eyes, he lowered his head to her in attempt to nuzzle, as if to say thank you. She raised a paw to stroke Luke’s muzzle, and a white ring formed upon contact. Surprised by this, Luke pulled back, his eyes widened and flashed multiple colors. Shocker, also a bit surprised, noticed Luke’s white chest and apologized to the beast: “Aw I’m sorry boy, I must have struck you down.” Luke chirped and purred as she continued to pet him affectionately. Some time later, Shocker decided it was time to find their way out of the deep dark temple, knowing they were not safe there. More knights were standing guard and evil creatures roamed in nearly every room. Luke resorted to his own physical strength, while Shocker unleashed a storm of lightning as both fought and defeated their dark enemies. Luke would occasionally become agitated from their battles and Shocker always managed to calm him down, petting and healing him as well.
Eventually, the two made it out of the temple and were greeted by a warm rising sun on the horizon, a gentle breeze blew through their fur and feathers. Luke once again lowered his head down to Shocker, nuzzling her. Stroking his cheek she spoke in his ear: “Now we are free.” she then turned and walked away down the large stairway of the temple. Luke could only watch for a moment then ran to her, the temple stairs ended near a huge cliff where he caught up to her. Shocker turned back to Luke, He chirped at her as if to say “I want to stay with you.” He then lowered himself to the ground, allowing her to climb onto his back. Shocker smiled as she took a moment to bond with Luke, holding his muzzle and stroking the white ring. she then mounted the beast, as he rose up and spread his wings out, then he raced to the cliff edge, and with a great leap of fate they flew away and their new journey together had begun.
