You are beacons of light, bearers of empathy, and guardians not only of the world around you but also of the light within yourselves and others. He paused, a reflective silence settling over the room before he continued, "Our victory over the King of Shadows wasn't just about defeating a powerful entity. It was about understanding the root of its power – despair. The whispers thrived on it, amplifying it and twisting it into a weapon. We learned that true strength lies not just in brute force, but in the courage to face our own darkness and the compassion to understand the darkness in others."

Fear sharpens into fury, molten and blinding. I reach. Not with hands. With instinct. With that strange internal pull that drags me into shadows night after night without permission. The darkness beneath my feet answers. Not violently. Not chaotically. It opens. Like a mouth welcoming breath. Like a path recognizing its traveler. The shadows gripping my legs falter.

Ember staggered backward, shaking her head. “That can’t be right. You’re lying.” The shadow didn’t move. “It is the law that created your world.
