The Shadows and their magic

Chapter 1

"How much for this boy?",asked the man.
The seller rolled his eyes and signed, "What does the sign say at the front, you dumb head".
"What did you call me?"
The seeller glanced over to see who the damn annoying man was and realised it was Tyburn.  An executioner that works for the house of shadows.There are many rumours about him killing and executing people who tried attack and kill the royal members of the Shadows.
Each one of the houses have their own personal executioner but Tyburn is probably the worst. There are four houses of magic. The house of Aquatics , the house of Flames, the house of Solars and the house of Shadows. Each and one of these houses possess a type of magic.The Aquatics possess the power of water, the house of Flames possess the power of fire, the house of Solars possess the power of light and the house of Shadows possess the power of darkness.
The seller started to shake his eyes started to water, "please forgive me I wasn't thinking".
Tyburn gave a stare.
"Fine I'll forgive you, now how much is the boy?"
"But I'd told you, the price is at the front, didn't you see it?", he asked in confusion.
"But there's no sign", replied Tyburn.
The seller glanced over where placed the sign. "What! It's not there! Sorry for this confusion, I'll give you him for free".
Tyburn took me without even thanking him and we started to walk. "So what's your name?", questioned Tyburn.
"Why should I tell you dumb head", I answered.
"Well do you want to die?".
"Yes I do", I answered hoping that he might kill me.
He looked surprised , "well you're one of a kind...what's your name ?".
I stared at him, "wouldn't you kill me already?".
"Why would I?".
"I called you a dumb head now would you kill me already?", I whined.
"Wow I've never seen somebody so willing to die, fine if you tell me your name I'll kill you okay?".
"Deal...my name is Andrew".
"Now where do you come from?", asked Tyburn . I gave a furious look, "so when are you going to kill me!Fine if you can't kill me even though your job is to kill people, I'll kill myself !"
I snatched his sword dangling beside him and said, " I'm sorry Mum, Dad, Rachel and Thorn", as my quick last words.
"WAIT!", screamed Tyburn.
"You sound like a girl when you scream, oh great now I have to say my last words again", I complained.
As I started to repeat my last words again, Tyburn screamed out again. "Stop! I don't want to hear your girly voice again, disgusting filthy peasant".
He rolled his eyes and snatched his back his sword. "But you're also a disgusting filthy peasant, you smell like a turd, and you looked as if you hadn't showered in years!".
I looked at him in disbelief. "Is this what you say to convince a person to not killing themselves? This is why I want to die. Disrespect!", I said furiously.
As we walked further into the dark mysteriously forest, I asked him, "where are we going ?".
"A magical place called Gehenna also known as the land of the living dead".
"How is this magical, when people say magical I picture unicorns and rainbows. The way I would describe the place is creepy...".
The forest seems full of life, but as we walked closer to Gehenna everything started to die, like if their life was sucked right out of them. Instead of birds there were bats. Blood thirsty, blood suckers. They had white sharp
fangs, sharp enough to cut through a pile of freshly, slightly gnawed bones, but worst of all it's always night.
