Demon Shadows Novels & Stories

“The shadows are bound. The ley lines are locked. There is no passage through, no shadow to walk, no darkness that leads outside. We are contained.” The first demon appeared at the courtyard’s edge, emerging from the space between buildings where no space had existed before. It wore the shape of a student, a familiar face that I recognized from the dining hall, from corridors, from the anonymous crowd that filled the Academy’s spaces. But the eyes were wrong, the pupils slitted, the reflection absent, the presence carrying a frequency that made the contract scar scream. Then another. And another. They emerged from shadows, from reflections, from the spaces between heartbeats, rogues that had

That sensation of otherworldly influence had haunted him for weeks now, but tonight, it felt more palpable, like a shadow he could almost reach out and touch. The room fell into a chilling silence, thickening the air as Tomoya’s thoughts grew heavier. Just as he was beginning to lose himself in his recollections, the atmosphere shifted. Shadows curled and thickened in the corners of the room, condensing until a figure began to materialize within them. There, in a shimmer of darkness, emerged Rener—the demon whose presence was both familiar and unsettling. His entry was unnervingly smooth, his figure a melding of elegance and darkness.

His eyes… molten gold, burning like they saw right through me. A shadow guard shoved him forward, a dozen more tightening the chains. "Don’t," Hartfell barked, thinking I might step forward. But the shadows didn’t keep him long. The demon moved in a blur, chains snapping like twigs. He surged forward, his wings flaring wide as he tore through the shadows with inhuman precision. Clawed hands ripped one apart, his tail speared another, his sheer presence scattering the rest. By the time my mind caught up, every last shadow was gone.

"Interesting! I wonder if you have met one of the Shadows, my child. If so, I would be very careful, especially with his wolf. They are righteous assassins of the goddess and will eliminate any who possess evil in their soul." "Well, I don't think I have any evil in my soul so I should be ok, right?" "Yes and no. See these Shadows are also wolf and human so they too can possess evil or conflicting emotions. If their wolf is in control they can become quite violent and can rationalizing just about anyone as evil." "Oh, I see. Homicidal manic looking to burn the world. Got it, don't piss off a Shadow." I kicked myself for the amount of times I threatened Ryker's life. If he was a Shadow then I

“Alright. The two of us. The rest of you… stay here. We’ve got a lot of potential power in this room, but also a lot of scaredy-cats. We need to move fast. Historical data suggests the Shadowalker’s influence—its conscious control—peaks during the night, under the moon. If he’s not in full control now, he will be soon.” The two of them left the control room, heading for the surface transport. The unspoken question hung heavy in the air, on every monitor and in every mind: Would Northstar join them? Or would they be walking into a trap set by an ancient, tormented demon wearing a teenager’s face? Two Hours Later – Forest Perimeter “We’ve got to hurry,” Amy urged, checking her wrist-mounted sc

I just needed a fix to calm me down, to push the shadows that screamed and shrieked at me to let them out so that they might feed. Tears fell from my eyes, and I kept shaking my head hoping the voices would disperse if I did. I sniffed and slowly raised my eyes up to Tade's television. I could see my eyes, an unnatural eerie purple, and my hands, consumed with unharmful purple and blue flames. I didn't know what to do to hold them back. Even worse I could see my shadows reeling out of my body at their own will and there was little I could do to stop them. "Fuck you!" I yelled at the demon staring back at me from the television, and grabbed the TV remote by my side and threw the thing at my t

At the end of the words, a faint smile, although her words at this time appear to be lighthearted, but in fact, has been carefully guarded up, even if today's questioning the sky has long since ceased to be in the past, but back in the day, since she can be sealed, then it is still not to be underestimated. Asked the sky gaze cold, staring not to say, both palms raised, only to hear "rumbling" a loud noise, but see twelve blue sarcophagus lid rises up, a large area of black fog dispersed out, to be black fog dispersed, only to see in mid-air, has already hung twelve demonic shadows. The twelve demonic shadows, each of which was about ten feet tall, similar in form to the ghost seal, were all

Then came the first shadow. It surged from the broken gutters like black smoke, curling into the shape of a man — faceless, eyeless, bleeding darkness from every limb. Behind it came more, slipping through alleyways and clawing up from shattered wells. The air turned sharp with the stench of sulfur and scorched bone. Demons. Not mindless ones... but hunters. Lucien snarled, his fangs already lengthening. Selene pulled both her blades. Cassius summoned fire in the palm of his hand. And Evangeline…

Lukas sighed softly, "Shadows can merge with other shadows, becoming part of them," he said, his voice still near a whisper, "And can move through them, from one to another, with little resistance."
