(This is the backround story of Claaws) 

I wait. I wait inside a small space, a stone, to be exact. It was dark and lonely, almost as dark as my heart. It was also quiet lonely.

As I sat in the darkness, I thought of my siblings, locked away in three other stones. I thought of the moment I was released, the power, the freedom.

Right as that thought comfortably left my mind, I saw a flash of light and the blow of a horn, loud and dark and so familiar. I'd been listening to that notice for centuries inside of my head.

And in another flash of light I saw the world form around me. The trees, the moon, it was all so bright. I flinched, before remembering that I was supposed to look powerful. I straightened my back and spread my wings. The darkness in my heart flickered on my scales like black fire. My eyes were a silvery white, as clear as the full bright moon. Then I saw a small shape in front of me, barely as big as my talon. I looked down on the small shape. "A dragon," he gasped. "This is what this stone does!"

i looked at him in amusement as he continued his speech to me. "I am from a scientist company. We test on animals and creatures like you. We must know what you are! How you got here! Oh my! This could lead to a great scientist discovery!"

He gestured for me to follow. Then I surprised him as I spoke his language in a deep, rusty voice. "Why shall I follow a meat morsal like yourself? Who is the one who summoned me? Only one of true evil and a heart of pure darkness could summon me."

He held the rock in his hand. "I blew this trumpet, cleverly disguised as a fossilized tooth." I traced my tongue over the gap in my mouth that the tooth had come from. "And I am your master! I wonder... If there are others like this? If there are lots of rocks disguised to summon a creature! We must experiment! On you, creature. Then you will tell us where the others are. They too will becom slaves for us. Then we will imprison all of animalkind! Then we will find all the secrets to the world, and full dominate Mother Earth!"

Even my truly dark heart didn't want that. Imprison every animal kind? My siblings? The human, as I now recoil, held the tooth high above his head in trumpet. "I bow down to no pesky human," I growled. "Least of all one who wants to hurt my siblings."

With that I snatched the tooth from the human's tiny clawless talons and flew away into the darkness. 

Ever since I have watched the most hated humans, stalking them untill the time was right to slit their throats. I have watched as the humans slowly took over the world, and imprisoned many animals who don't know what hit them. But I could do nothing about it. My power is not enough to destroy all of them. But if I could free my siblings... 

(No one knows Claaws' secret. She's just joined with this team because if she steels the Powers once they have them, or know where all of them are, she could summon her siblings... And take over the world.)
