Novel & Cerita Curse Of The Shadow Dragon

**** Deep beneath the mountain… The shadow slid through stone cracks like smoke. It entered the cavern without a sound, gathering itself on the floor until it rose, shaping into something vaguely humanoid, tall, and wrong, shifting like tar that refused to settle. Two red coals flared in its center. A voice seeped out, distorted and layered. “She hid,” the shadow hissed. “The Sorcerer hid from me.” The cavern rumbled, walls trembling as Shade emerged from the darkness, taller, denser, power radiating from him like heat from an inferno.

I repeated quietly. Drakon crouched beside another fallen attacker and pulled back the hood. The moment he saw the wolf's face, his expression darkened. "I know him," he said grimly. Kael looked over sharply. "From where?" Drakon rose slowly to his feet. "He was part of my father's inner circle. Before the curse." A cold breeze swept through the clearing, stirring the cloaks of the dead. I suddenly understood something terrible. The Shadow's followers hadn't disappeared when he died. They had simply buried themselves deep enough to survive. And now someone was calling them back out of the dark. Someone we knew.

Her sharp eyes lifted as they entered, as if she had been expecting them. "Welcome Alpha Kael. Luna Zara," Lysara greeted, her voice raspy but steady. "I heard the screams outside. So it has begun." Zara stepped forward, heart hammering. "The woman who came to our door… her face was being eaten alive. The healer has her isolated now. What is this sickness? Can it be cured?"Lysara sighed deeply, the sound heavy with centuries of knowledge. "It is no ordinary illness, child. This is the Shadow Curse. The shadow king's power is finally made manifest. Although he cannot reach you directly while you remain under Kael’s protection… he can strike at the pack instead."Kael’s hand tightened around Za

“Sealing gods, cursing bloodlines — you Dravens really knew how to keep things dramatic.” Kael ignored him, scanning a passage. The candlelight glinted off the scar at his jaw. “They weren’t lunatics. They were witnesses. This… this isn’t myth.” He pointed to a faded line: ‘The God of Dreams was not alone. Beside Him stood the Shadow-Born, His blade and voice, bound in blood and silence until the final dusk.’ Violet leaned forward. “Shadow-Born?” Kael nodded grimly. “A creature forged by magic and blood. Loyal to AURA. The old texts say it could inhabit any body — human, wolf, witch. It didn’t die when the Dream Realm closed — it was sealed with Him.”

To my shock, they pulsed warm beneath my skin, then dissolved into nothing. The library opened to me. --- Scrolls. Tomes. Relics. All buried under centuries of dust. The air itself felt alive, thick with whispers of memory. I trailed my fingers across shelves until one book seemed to pulse against my palm. I pulled it free. The leather was cracked, its edges scorched, as though fire had tried to erase it. The pages spoke of a line called the Shadowborn. Descendants of a queen who bore two wolves—one of light, one of shadow. Her children carried both. Some controlled it. Most lost themselves to it. The line was said to be cursed, extinguished by fire and war.

Kael shouted. The creature lunged, and the clearing erupted into chaos. Steel clashed, magic flared—Kael’s blade igniting with golden fire, Dain moving in a deadly dance of precision. Elara ducked, slashed, felt her dagger strike something thick and unnatural. The creature shrieked, staggered, and vanished into mist. “What the hell was that?” she gasped. Dain’s face was pale. “A shadowbound.” “That’s impossible,” Kael said, eyes narrowing. “They were destroyed in the Siege of Velrin.”

“I need each of you. But not as enemies, tearing at each other.” The dragon flicked its tail, but leaned closer, and curious at the same time. The wolf sat down, ears perked in patience. The demon beast tilted its head, eyes narrowing with interest. I met each of their gazes in turn. “You, shadow-fox. Your cunning is my blade in the dark, swift, sharp, and clever. You, dragon. Your strength is my shield, my storm, my fire when the world threatens me. And you, wolf. Your wisdom is my compass. Without you, I would be lost.”

He was shocked at the power of the shadow and yet he couldn't attack it via normal means, he managed to pull the pillow away from her face and heard her breathing hitch, as she managed to take in the air to sustain her lungs. The shadow then turned his ire towards Matthias, stabbing him in the chest with a poisoned knife. Matthias screamed in agony as the fire of the poison worked through his system, before falling to the ground next to Emma. As they both lay there dying from the venom in their system, the door burst open as Katana and Viktor entered with brutal force. Katana had faced such an evil shadow once before and knew exactly how to stop this evil with a silent magic spell. With each

Those years of waiting for his arrival never seem to end. It’s been five years now. The alpha is yet to be found, neither could Imogen find a way to lift the curse nor did she forget how Braylon was swallowed by a dark shadow right in front of her eyes. She is yet to discover what that shadow was. And she will stop at nothing to look for a way to lift the curse. ***

Cai Kang commented. "This is why it is called a curse." Hoshino says softly. "It harms you in ways you'd never expect. Even the seemingly harmless Yin-yang curse has caused pain in some form." she said to him. Cai Kang remembers his past life and his gender dysphoria. "What exactly did the first white dragon do?" Kurai said.
