Shadow Moon American Gods Novels & Stories

Kael couldn’t speak. Not with the fire god’s cock stretching his throat open, thick and tight. Not with the storm god’s mouth still working his hole, tongue slick and wild, paired now with fingers, two, then three, curling inside him with divine hunger. Not with the shadow god’s voice in his ear, low and cruel and soaked in want. “You like this,” the shadow whispered, stroking Kael’s cock with a slow, teasing hand. “You like being on your knees, choked and split open for your gods.”

Roy once appreciated Willow for knowing her place, but now, he resented her indifference. Along the way, Roy chatted with Sierra while Willow was left to sit in silence. As the car could only take them halfway up the mountain, they had to hike the rest of the way. Hence, Roy put Willow up in a lodge while he and Sierra took the hike. Willow’s call came in at ten at night. She had an emergency and needed to leave. Roy fixated on the candle on the altar table, his voice hushed. “I can’t leave right now. We’ll discuss this tomorrow.”

“Is this why you’re asking me about The Sky Guardian and The Lightning Shadow?” Ethan nodded slowly and then turned to my father. “What do you want me to do? What do you want us to do?” My father looked at me and then at my sister. “I’m sorry, Izobel, Amber, but it looked like I failed in protecting you,” He heaved a deep sigh, facing Ethan. “Your council won’t be happy about this, Ethan, but only you and Nolan have the shield to protect us and remain invisible again.” His forehead creased like he was thinking of the right words to say. “I am only asking for three months, Ethan.”

With the knowing looks they passed, Emma knew the Elders knew something and might not be willing to share so easily so she pleaded. "Please, I just want to make sense of it." "There's only one explanation Emma." Eunice, one of the council members answered. "The Moon Goddess. A long time ago, it was prophesied that a human with the soul of a shifter will take on the burdens of the pack and once a while, in the face of extreme danger, she would shift to protect those she holds dear. A curse and a gift, if you ask me."

Shadow coalesced between her palms—thick, writhing, *alive. Selene's essence, channeled through her champion. She hurled it. Luna threw up a shield of moonlight. The shadow *punched through.* Slammed into her chest. Luna screamed. The shadow did not burn. It *corrupted.* She felt it trying to sink into her, to twist the divine light inside her, to turn it sick and green and *wrong.* Her crescent flared desperately. Moonfire poured from her skin, burning the shadow away.

The storm above us cracked open, lightning spearing the earth. Damon hesitated. Just for a second. It was enough. Kael struck, tackling him, driving him back, tearing at him with fangs and claws. The Shadow God shrieked, its form flickering, destabilizing. But even together, Kael and I could feel it—Damon’s strength, fed by the god’s darkness, was too great. Every blow we landed was answered tenfold. Every gain we made was ripped away. The Shadow God began to merge with Damon fully, its monstrous form sinking into his body, its voice joining with his until they were one.

Her heterochromia eyes fused into a single, brilliant shade of celestial mercury. "What... what is this?" Kaelen recoiled, the fur on his snout singeing. "The Goddess... she abandoned this world!" "She didn't abandon us," Luna said, her voice layering over her mother’s. "She was just waiting for someone to be brave enough to hold the light." "Kaelen," Seraphina’s voice was now a chorus of the divine. "The debt is due. The shadows you borrowed are calling for their return." "NO! I am the King! I am the Shadow!" Kaelen gathered every ounce of his corrupted essence into a single, spear-like projection of void. He fired it point-blank at the family.

Sabrina crouched down on the ruined building, hidden from the eyes of everyone. “Thinking.” “What is it?” “... it has been a while since I’ve been here.” “You are the instigator of the ruin of this territory and this country.” “This is great. I missed it so much.” Shadow just shrugged it off as if it was nothing. Country C was used to rule by the Gods. The previous ruler was Hercules. Shadow was the mastermind of his ruling and the one who stole Dionysus, Hades, and Persephone from Amino.

So disturbing! I looked at my companions. A Goddess with an attitude problem, a dangerous supernatural guy whose species I was yet to find, a powerful but eccentric witch and a Goddess who lost her memories… What a team! “We have to capture at least a few shadow demons. They are a relatively new breed and so far, we had only killed them on meeting them. Never had anyone tried to capture them, and I don’t know if traditional containment methods work on them. We shall hope it does or it will all be for nothing,” Artemis said.

Their people grew and in order to keep them safe, he granted them the power to hide into the shawdows and flee from hatred and witchcraft trials. As humans become more advanced he granted the Schatten powers to cast their thoughts and to read the minds of humans. With that, Matthais stopped casting and asked Emma, "So what do you think? Am I still a monster?" She looked back at him and asked, "What about the blood? Why did I drink your blood when turning? Are we like vampires?"
