The figure, the so-called master of the Heart, had disappeared, leaving only the weight of its cryptic words behind.

With a scream of anguish, Liora plunged her blade through his chest. The golden light flared, swallowing the shadows. “I’m sorry,” she sobbed, holding him close. Caelum smiled faintly as his body crumbled into motes of silver and black. “Thank you… little star.” The Shadow’s Whisper As his essence scattered, a faint, cold voice slithered into her mind: “Do you think this is over?

In the center of the room stood a pedestal, atop which rested the Heart of Shadows-a pulsating crystal radiating dark energy. But as we stepped closer, the air grew thick with tension. Shadows coalesced around the chamber, forming the figures of Black Faes, their eyes glinting with malice. "You think you can take the Heart of Shadows?"

Jason shouted, his voice filled with authority.

“You think you’re the only one?” “You wound me, Delia,” Gray chuckles. She slaps his arm playfully, letting him know it's time to get serious. He straightens up, as all signs of amusement snap from his face in a split second and holds still while she goes to work on the chain in his hands.

I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I call it my dark shadow … it’s a part of me, but it’s a part of me I can mostly keep hidden, that I can control.

The shadow platform pulsed softly—like a heartbeat. Kael’s voice echoed distantly through the sealed chamber: “Alessia! Don’t do anything reckless!” She closed her eyes, breathed and stepped barefoot in the shadow. A shockwave rippled through the chamber. Her breath vanished. Darkness engulfed her vision. not evil, not cold, just quiet. Her heartbeat slowed. Her breath steadied. Her mind sharpened. Her shadow core welcomed her like a long-lost memory. She opened her eyes. Her silver aura glowed dimly—Lux and shadow intertwined like a living ribbon.

She highly doubted he was sorry, she could have bet he did it on purpose. His face showed no signs of remorse. He looked very intimidating and the fact that he wore dark clothes and his long black jacket bellowed around him, his irises were black as the night and his hair unruly long did not help him much.

"You could try," the First Shadow said, stepping closer. "Or, you could save him. And her. And the world you’ve spent so much energy trying to stitch together."

You could not take my love. He reached into the shadow and pulled. Something came out. A heart—black, pulsing, covered in thorns that dripped with dark ichor. The same heart I had seen in my vision when the Luna tested me. But this time, it was not Kaelen's heart. It was the shadow's. The core of its existence, the source of its power, the anchor that kept it tethered to this world. This is your legacy, Ravenna, Kaelen said.
