((yah, I figured plants and animals were changed too, Also, going to do two sections. oh, and that was just set up.))
After the magik changed things the Shadows((if ya want to change name go ahead, I'm just rollin' with what I came up with)) were made. The majority of Shadows are born of hate and anger, and only seek to kill and destroy. The only things they don't attack are their fellow Shadows, so long as they don't attack that is. The Shadows formed War Bands, exhibiting an odd kind of collective intellagence, each knowing their role.
But then you have the other Shadows, the ones born of empathy and knowledge. These Shadows seem to glow with an odd aura, and are peaceful to all they encounter. However due to the majority of Shadows being evil beings these peaceful folk are often attacked since they tend to be mistaken for their vile brethren.

Ostas walked out into the woods, heading for the wolves den. As he reached it he nodded to one of the wolves guarding it, stopping for a moment. The wolf nodded it's head to him and he walked in. He saw Old Grey and walked over "Howdy old man. You know a healer could do better then I, right?"
The wolf whined, and looked at him sharply. "Hey, I'm just pointing it out. As is I'll do my best, just calm down and let me work."
And with that Ostas went to work, applying salves to the wound on Old Grey's side. Ostas finished after a few minutes and closed his eyes, remembering the day Old Grey had received the wound. "Alright, that's all I can do. Rest, don't do too much, all that."
Old Grey stood up shakily, letting out a short bark and walking Ostas to the exit. Ostas left without a word walking home with his helmet off. Until he heard the war drum.
He ran towards the village as the drum beat carried through the air. Every warrior from every Clan would be rushing for town at this point, irregardless what they were doing.
When he reached the town the warriors were shutting the gate, but stopped just long enough for Ostas to get inside. "Everyone at the ready! Get archers on the walls now, any archer that ain't on that wall I'll personally shove a dagger down their throat!" Williams shouted at the top of his lungs "Hurry it up, the Shadows aren't going to wait for you to sit about like lazy bastards!"
Ostas took his position on the wall behind the archers, waiting for the Shadows to besiege the wall.
((And I don't have time to write the rest of this up, so I'll finish the battle tomorrow.))
