For a second, uncertainty clouds his gaze—and that’s all I need to believe that maybe, just maybe, we have a chance. “You don’t know who you’re messing with,” Shadow whispers, his voice deeper, darker, like a lament, as if everything he’s endured has prepared him for this moment.

Never in her years of studying Wielder’s Psychology had she encountered someone whose features differed from one Wielder to the other and who survived being shadowless for about a year. A Wielder and a Shadow were like a package deal. They both existed to provide each other sufficient energy to prevent themselves from deteriorating. Shadows, though not always by the Wielders side, could be summoned and unsummoned, but it’s simply different to Z’s case. If she just unsummoned her shadow, they’d still be linked together. This means that the shadow would appear at the moment the Wielder’s threatened. That never happened, though.

And now I knew that the reaper was, finally, knocking at my door. “Come in daughter, I have been expecting you.” I call out to the shadow that lurked behind me.

I ran like there was no tomorrow on the road that looked abandoned from the lack of people walking in the middle of the night. It wasn’t also a surprise that I heard the man tailing me behind. He knew my scent and wherever I would go, he would still find me unless I mixed with other humans. That’s why the subway station was a good place for me to lose him. After turning several blocks, I finally reached the street where it was located. There were humans now going home from working late. I crossed one last road, and I didn’t stop myself from turning around to know where the man was. He just left that one corner before the crossroads.

Kill every single thing that moves. Make sure your earpiece is on at all times and if we get ambushed which I doubt your trackers are on at all times in case you get kidnapped. Have fun and make sure you bring back a good story for your families I don't need to be preparing any funerals when we get back" Shadow says and everyone just nods

Another’s annihilation. The thought follows me like a shadow. Which a "Shatterpoint"

No contact. Just a shadow trailing another.

The death she was currently experiencing is the slow yet burn death. It was exactly the way she would die in the future. Shadow was immune to many times and she had a long life ahead. And she meant it. Literally. Her body wouldn’t age and she would maintain her youth forever. She wasn’t immortal, however. She could die and a few people in high ranking could kill her by triggering her trauma. It sounded complicated when actually it was not and this story was the story of the future so she wouldn’t tell anyone just yet. “You… you can- buek…” Her mouth was numbing and vomiting dark red blood.
