Shade The Echidna Novels & Stories

A low deep growl of approval comes from my mate as he stands, strips and lands on his huge paws. Shadow stands in front of us, his dark grey fur looking like liquid silver in the moonlight. His bright blue eyes are stunning against his colour. Eclipse starts to rub herself all over him; shameless hussy I think as she makes sure he has her scent all over him. I can feel her possessiveness coming from her, she will kill anyone who goes near him.

It released black smoke from its mouth. I fell to my knees, struggling to breathe, and felt something warm trickle down my chin. I wiped my face with the sleeve of my bridal dress, coughing hard, my chest hurting from lack of oxygen. The shadow moved closer, its feet barely moving. I tried to push myself up and run away, but I found I couldn’t move a muscle even as my entire body gave up. I quickly lit the fire in the torch with my magic and held it above my head to watch the shadow looming over me. I gasped as I saw its long serpentine body covered in a rough, stone-like hide that mimicked the texture and color of the cave's stalagmites. This hide was a mix of dark grays, earthy browns, and

"What's this?" Several sheets of paper were taken from the dinosaur's hand. A pamphlet informing the existence of a new cafe with a cheap menu list and different from other cafes. "Chris?" asked Lilyana trying to guess. Ed Shane nodded his head. "He's there." His hand pointed in a direction and Lilyana followed the direction of that hand. She saw someone else this time wearing a kingkong-shaped costume. At the same time, a baby was seen passing in front of him and crying after seeing the scary kingkong. This was very funny for Lilyana, she laughed out loud and so did Ed Shane.

It was pretty obvious from the way they sneered at me. “Dino charger” Chase shouted extending out his dark energem, “Ready!” a bulky yellow and black gun appeared in his hand. He shoved something on it which made it buzz with energy, “Energize!” he then raised it above his head and clicked something, “Unleash the power!” a large misty hologram of a dinosaur head appeared from the tip of it and swallowed him as a whole. When I opened my eyes again, he has worn a cool black outfit with a sharp sword in his hand.

“Enara, what are you doing? We don’t have all the time in the world. The channel closes in an hour. We have to be back at Lunara after midnight. Otherwise, I don’t know where in God’s hell will be wandering this time.” Ethos said with impatience in his voice. They walked through the narrow channel of unseen dark walls that came with loud dripping noises. Shane tried to touch the walls but Helios blocked his hand with a stick his holding. He saw how the stick melted in its darkness like a black acid that easily burnt. It didn’t have a smell but the sight was enough to hold off Shane from extending his arm again. Helios let go of the stick and the black ink of acid swallowed it.

Lord Davis had been working with creatures of the dark to fight other creatures of the dark without realizing. Lazarus knew they were stronger than this but were trying to appear human while fighting. He did his best to defend himself but they needed backup. He tried to reach the other's telepathically but realized they had already arrived. Acheron reached them faster. All of them were fighting three or four shades each. A few humans joined here and there but they were easier to knock down. The shades eventually realized they couldn't hold back their powers, so they shape shifted into different animals. Suddenly a large dog sank his teeth into his arm and Lazarus tried to fight it off while

The shadow screamed as the light struck it, but it didn’t retreat. “You can’t fight it alone!” Eli shouted, rushing to her side. “I’m not alone,” Lyla said, her voice strong. The pack joined her, their combined energy bolstering the light. The shadow screamed again, its form weakening as the light grew brighter. Lyla felt the forest’s energy surging through her, stronger than ever. She focused all of it into a single burst of light, aiming it directly at the shadow’s core. The shadow let out one final, deafening scream before it dissolved into nothingness. The tree shuddered, its blackened bark cracking and crumbling away to reveal vibrant, glowing wood beneath.

“Send the invitation.” The tablet buzzes in my hands. Not an alert. A message. Not to us. From us. Elder Max is faster than I thought. He’s cut in, pasted a line of text into our own mesh so we can’t miss it. It sits on the screen like a dare. SUN OR SHADE, MISS DALTON? I laugh right out loud. Sable’s fingers tighten on my shoulder hard enough to bruise. “Shade,” I say to the room, to the river, to the line of text, to Hazel’s face on a screen three miles away. “Always shade.” I tap the glyph one last time.

Its body was snake-shaped and spiked, but its head had a human body: Echidna, a mother of monsters. "So that ugly monster, the treasure Jemma was referring to," said Jay. It was huge. I ran towards it, spinning randomly, making it dizzy. Again and again, the giant creature tried to run over me. Its purpose was to stomp on me because Jay and I were what it considered soul-disturbing pests. I pulled out a fiery dart and aimed at its eyes. "Ruby! Throw your darts at me so you don't get stepped on!" Jay shouted. You'll spill your jug, you noisy idiot.

Before heading off the field as if nothing happened. The next warrior and creature come onto the field at opposite sides and I hear Fiadh gasp quietly. I immediately feel bad for her. The creature her Glortinon has to fight makes the Bunte look like a kitten. This beast has dark bark-like skin giving it the perfect camouflage for living on Shikaz. It is standing on two legs like the Bunte, but it has four arms with human-like fingers, not hooves. The Latroot's face has four green eyes that blink at different times, and its fangs are the color of mold. It is also about eight feet tall.
