Tippet had to keep himself from shaking. He was both nervous and excited and the combination of the two was almost to much to stand. No one his age had ever been requested to meet the Shadow Council before.
At only seventeen Tippet was the youngest ninja to ever complete the the Night Trials. Even though was still learning most of the shadow arts he was a prodigy in the art of combat. When he was only twelve he defeated six upperclassmen by himself in a sparring match. He was a natural with the sword but even though he could have been the best in his class with almost no effort Tippet continually pushed himself everyday.
More than anything he wanted to be a ninja grandmaster and lead the crusade against the Light Stone. Even now, as he waited in a dark alley he could feel his anger burn inside him at the thought of those fanatics.
The Light Stone was a group of religious zealots who murdered his entire village when we was barely more than a baby. Even though he was so young he could still remember the event perfectly.
The Light Stone samurai's tore through the village. Slaughtering dozens upon dozens of helpless civilians. His father and mother were cut down right before his eyes. Only moments before one samurai was about to kill Tippet the Darkheart ninjas appeared.
Tippet remembers the look of confusion on the samurai's face as he was cut down by the Darkheart. The Darkheart saved him that day, unfortunately they did not make it in time to save anyone else. Tippet was all that was left. From that day forward he devoted himself to becoming the most powerful ninja in existence and to eradicate the Light Stone.
