Buffy meets her makers

Shadowman

In Get It Done, he Scoobies open a portal using items from an old Slayer bag. Buffy jumps into the portal and meets the Shadowmen who made the First Slayer and discovers how she was made: “First there was the earth, then came the demons, after demons came men, they found a girl to slay demons, they chained her to the earth, filled her with dark.” The Shadowmen gave a human girl the heart of a demon. She also learns that the girl didn’t do it voluntarily. This vastly contradicts Buffy’s conviction, or rather, hope, that she doesn’t have a ‘dark side’.
The meeting with the Shadowmen is important to Buffy in two ways. Firstly, she chooses not to accept their offer of more power, which would entail her being merging with some kind of evil mist. Secondly, the men convince her enough that there’s something wrong about the way the Slayer was first brought about. She decides in Chosen to reverse their decision to give only one girl the Slayer power.
The language the Shadowmen speak is Swhaili, as spoken in East Africa.
