Eminence In Shadow の小説・ストーリー

"Yeah. Sin just got home, he's in the library. I believe I saw him there last." "Okay thanks." I smiled gratefully as he nodded in return and walked away. I took the corner, and found myself in front of the large library room. Thank God Nikolai had shown me around the place at first. Now it wasn't that hard to find around. I stared into the room where I noted Sinister seated at a luxurious oaky-coloured leathered armchair. He seemed to be deep in thought. With his elbow resting on the arm of the chair, his face was propped up against his knuckles defining how chiseled his features were. This man is handsome. The slight subtle seemed to emphasize a roguish yet elegant portrayal of him. A blen

"The High Council is paralyzed. Saed is a ghost in his own empty halls, stripped of his titles and his dignity. But we both know the real war didn't end in that amphitheater." Anna didn't look up immediately. Her fingers, steady and deliberate, traced the sleek edge of her modified sync-pad. "Saed was just a variable to be cleared from the board," she replied softly. Her voice was remarkably calm, contrasting with the crackle of the hearth behind her. "He was a predictable, short-sighted obstacle driven by vanity and fear. You can bargain with fear, Liam. You can manipulate vanity. The Shadow is different. It doesn't operate on political logic, territorial ambition or economic leverage. It i

“One must willingly surrender their greatest love. Only then will the relics unleash their true power to destroy the shadow for good.” Before anyone could respond, the ground quaked violently. The shadow entity, larger and more menacing than before, surged into the chamber. Its smoky tendrils lashed out, forcing the group into a defensive stance. “I grow tired of this game!” the shadow roared, its voice echoing like a storm. “Give me the relics, or I will consume your very souls.” Wickham stepped forward, his weapon raised. “You’ll have to go through me first!” The shadow laughed darkly. “Bravery without power is foolishness.” It lunged, a tendril wrapping around Wickham’s arm and flinging h

A shadowy figure rose from the earth a darker, hollow version of myself and charged at me with terrifying speed. I dodged her strikes with all my strength, but her movements were swift and deadly. One hit landed hard against my abdomen, and I was sent flying several meters across the battlefield. I coughed up blood, spitting it onto the ground as I looked up. My shadow twin stood tall, shimmering with moonlight. Though it mirrored me, its eyes were empty and lifeless. “Let’s kick this bitch’s face in, Emily,” Amelia snarled, and a surge of power erupted within me.

"Wait a moment. I'll find a book that contains information about the incident. Damian walked away, leaving Alex still standing, staring at Damian's library. "Here it is!" Damian shouted soon after. "Come on, come here Alex!" He invited Alex to sit down at a large table in the centre of the room. On the table was a large book sealed with a metal chain. Damian opened the chain with the same gold key. He opened the book carefully. On the first page of the book were The legacy that once was.. Clan Echelon: Past, Duty and Destruction.

On our wedding night, my wife, who almost never drank, got wasted because she was supposedly too happy. Just when I didn't know what to do, my best friend sent me a long message explaining how to take care of her. I blushed, but I still followed his instructions and soothed her the way he described. Natalie, who had been making a scene, miraculously quieted down. But just as I was about to call my friend and thank him, Natalie suddenly hugged me from behind. Heartbroken, she whispered, "Ashton Hawke, you're the one I wanted to marry." As she said it, the tattoo near her heart slipped into view: a hawk with its wings spread wide. My mind went blank. Ashton Hawke was my best friend of

Far from that, the colorful trees, the horizon, even if it’s darkened by the heavens, were perfectly synchronizing to the details of each patented barrier—a thin sparkling line that surrounded its premise, separating it from the rest of Pasithea’s Empires. Its downside—exactly the main reason why Michelle was so glad to leave its radius—was the restriction of Shadow Wielding. It’s outrageous—in her own words—to prohibit a Wielder to wield the thing that made them a Wielder. Although they were allowed to use their shadow, they were only limited for an hour of doing so, which Michelle sometimes violated in her months of being stuck in there, convincing a hard-headed president to allow the head

The sanctuary was filled with a low, evil laugh. "Fools," said a sneering voice. "Did you truly believe you could escape my grasp?" The Shadow itself sprang into being, a whirling mass of blackness with coal-like eyes. It hung over the group with a threatening air. Elarion's face was contorted with sadness as his veil fell. They said, "I tried to warn you," in a shaky voice. "The Shadow’s influence is greater than I anticipated." The Shadow just laughed while the comrades pulled out their weapons. "Your selflessness has only made me stronger. I will now assert my ownership of this refuge.
