Flame Shadows Novels & Stories

I tilt my chin higher, though my body quivers. The torches crackle, flare, and then gutter, their flames guttering into tongues of green fire that spit shadows across the walls. Each lick of flame warps the banners, melting their wolves into smears of ink. The chamber bends and breathes as though it has lungs of its own.

Three pillars of fire bloomed across the realm, distant but unmistakable. One to the south. One to the east. One near the Umbra Divide. Xavier clenched the railing. “Duskwatch. Elenfir. Moonhold. All at once.” Ceres watched the flames rise like funeral pyres. “He didn’t just attack. He made sacrifices.” “Openings,” Xavier said. “Doors to something worse.” The sky shimmered. Above the burning horizon, a crown of Flame—wreathed in smoke, molten and impossible—flickered into view. Suspended for a single heartbeat and then gone.

"The Red Blood... it’s the future. You’re the one who’s going to build the world that doesn't need a Save File. But shadows... shadows belong in the past." "Silas, don't you dare," I hissed, my heart beginning to fracture. "Don't you dare give me a 'Heroic Ending.' We’re a team. We’re the Flame and the Shadow." "And the Shadow's job is to protect the Flame from the cold," Silas said. Before I could react, he slammed his palm into my chest. He didn't use a blade; he used a **Shadow-Push**. I was launched backward, flying toward the closing portal of the farmhouse door.

Moonlight filtered through broken skylights, casting shadows that moved like living things. "Hello?" My voice echoed off concrete walls. "You came." Camilla stepped out of the shadows, looking immaculate in a designer coat despite the surroundings. "I honestly did not think you would. Thought you would be too smart to walk into such an obvious trap." "Where is my brother?" "Safe. For now." She moved closer, heels clicking against concrete. "But whether he stays that way depends entirely on what happens next." "What do you want from me?" "The truth. Finally." She pulled out a folder, similar to the ones I had seen before. "Do you know what is in here?"

I was pinned down but, I would fight with everything in me. I reached out to Rudolph through my mind and gave a mental image of everything. I knew now why I felt so connected to him. It had nothing to do with me, yet it felt like it had everything to do with me. I was his eternal soulmate. We were Shadows of the night passing each other, torn apart by death but, meant for each other by fate. Eternal soulmates, yet shadows in the dark. I reached for Rudolph with everything in me. I could almost see him in the field of flowers. He reached for me. I felt myself fading. Edgar must have figured out our connection in my mind cause he screamed.

His eyes burned with a malevolent fire that chilled even the heart of the coldest winter. “So, the flame and frost queen falters,” the Shadow Lord sneered, voice thick with contempt. “Your shadow is mine to command.” Lyra squared her shoulders, her heart pounding but her spirit unyielding. “I carry my shadow. Not yours.” With a deafening roar, the battle escalated. The Shadow Lord twisted shadows into deadly weapons, striking with ruthless precision. Lyra parried and countered, her blade blazing with fused fire and frost, sparks flying as ancient forces collided in a violent dance.

Malachi, eyes scanning the horizon, suddenly pointed, "There, in the distance! A shadow, out of place amidst this luminescence." The guardians followed his gaze, and indeed, a dark form seemed to be approaching, its energy clashing with the radiant vibes of the grove. Isolde, her instincts kicking in, said, "We need to intercept, and understand its intentions." Liora, holding out her hand, produced a gentle orb of light. "Let's use this to guide the shadow, lure it closer." The shadow, drawn to Liora's orb, began to take a more defined shape as it neared — a cloaked figure, its face hidden, emanating an aura of chaos and disruption.

Merely watching her enjoy the place, gives him more than the joy he is expecting to feel. Maddie stopped a few inches away from the fountain in fear that she might get burned. Although it looks like a real flame, it doesn't feel hot even when Maddie is already near it. She even raised her hands to feel the heat but she felt nothing. She was about to touch the flame to see if it is even real but Theo stopped her hand.

Obstacles that could be overcome, but how? Matthias stood still and watched as she continued down the path and noticed that she turned around again, seeking one last glance at him before she disappeared from view. He knew right then and there that he needed to win her over and quickly. He needed a plan to win her over. Immediately! There was no time to waste! Time was of the essence. But how? Pure and simple, manipulation. Manipulation. Reader Notes: Welcome to the world of Das Schatten, aka, the Shadows. The Schatten can turn into shadows and travel through walls and objects, unless they are bound with silver chains.

He shouted, causing Falla to laugh so hard but her joy eventually vanished the moment she saw what did happen to the mansion. Falla moved closer to the burning mansion where the fire is slowly swallowing it. She can feel the intense hotness around the place. Talon is also shocked to see what did happen to their home being ruined by fire. Everything is set on fire, even trees and shrubs had been damaged too. Falla pulled her wand and cast a spell to eliminate the fire until it's too late. “Tollere ignis!” As she said that the fire is gradually getting smaller and smaller until it turned into a thin smoke that mixed through the air and fades away.
