Having powers doesn't always make you the hero I am a Xenocrate. This makes me what some might consider "special" - and everyone wants to be special, right? It means I was born with powers, but these powers come with a price. The price is one that my mother, among many, has had to pay. For this reason, I went from a modern day Robin Hood, to a lawless villain. I am Delaney Benson. I am the Shadow, and this is my story.
