Greetings! This doujinshi (fan manga) is sort of a labor of love on my part. I discovered my friend Kaiya Beck on Fanfiction.net a while ago. Of course, it had to be the promise of yaoi that got my attention, but since I've been helping her convert her stories to HTML, we've grown to be good friends. As a sort of thanks and oh, just a bit of fan-girl-ittude ^^ I started this doujinshi for her for Christmas.

Shadow of Death is based on a fanficiton by Kaiya of the same name. The story revolves around the main character, Black Waltz 3 before his descent into madness. Just after his creation, Black Waltz 3 was fresh and innocent. Find out what happened to him to turn him into the ruthless killer Princess Garnet and her friends encounter early in Final Fantasy 9.
