It was a pathetic and undeniable craven existence but it was how they were winning the war. Dave let out a sigh. "No. He used a HG blade." I nodded. A brilliant man named Henry Gomez spent his life developing a UV spiked, but essentially silver based liquid that could be applied to any metallic object, leaving a coat of active poison that would kill both shade and host upon entering the their shared body. Something in perfectly balanced formula temporarily imprisoned the shade and as long as the wounds you inflicted on the human were mortal, the shade shared the same fate. The HG liquid had become as precious to us as light bulbs. It was hard to come by at the best of times, especially out h

They paced, baring teeth as if readying for war and yet they were waiting for something. “Stop them!” She cried, looking desperately at the figures that morphed from the shadows. “It’s going to kill her!” As you wish, my Queen. The wolven shapes suddenly darted off in the direction of the forest, following the distant sounds of struggling and cries. Chloe was suddenly moving too, as if a cord had been tied around her waist and it had been yanked. She was certain she wasn’t even touching the ground as her body sped through the forest. The shadows moved seamlessly though, darting around trees and shrubs as if performing some dance. They melted into the shadows left by the tress on the melting

. "Anything else?" Amaris asked as she tried to memorize the map before closing her eyes to concentrate. "No. Any intell you can get us will be helpful." Amaris nodded. Alexis took the map and folded it away and backed up. Amaris closed her eyes and concentrated. Immediately a red fox and a northern goshawk. The fox ran into the woods immediately. The hawk sat on Amaris' arm for a few moments. It had a dark back and wings, and a white under belly with thin black stripes. It was beautiful. It spread its wings and flew up into the air. The bird did some circles over head and then headed in the same direction that the fox did. Anna came running over as the bird flew away. She l

What I wouldn’t give to have enhanced eyesight in this moment. There was a crack on my left, and then another to the front. Another then another. “Who’s there, I call out into the darkness.” My eyes slowly adjusting, I can just make out the outline of the trees and shrubbery. It didn’t help that any moonlight was blocked out by the tree canopy over head. Only allowing the smallest beams through the thick branches.

I raised my palm and said,” let me think. I looked around the room trying to come up with a plan. The fire burning in the fireplace caught my eye. A moth flew towards it dazzled by the flame. It turned to ashes the moment its wings touched the fire. If the fire had managed to move back just by an inch the moth would have been saved. The fire is not capable of maintaining distance but I can. His pain-filled eyes flashed before me and I felt a pang of regret but I had to do this. I couldn’t let Alex burn like the moth just because he wanted to come near me.

I got her part down and now the weird old man says the Realm is full of shadow and I don’t need to use mine to do what he did To achieve this feat I need to visualize taking a part of that shadow around me, rolling it up like a ball and flatten its surface— I made it happen but the density of the platform I made is weak, hella weak. Instead of wasting his time I got on his shadow platform and it slowly got up to the mountain Our climb to the mountain was amazing, felt like I was floating. Shadow Manipulation is something else. We got to the top of the mountain and it’s flat. I find out there are a few people there and the top has chairs and shelters for people.

The wind changed the day the forest fell quiet for *her* pack. Not for the Rogue Lands, not for nameless dens and burrows the way it had before the avalanche. This time, the shift in the air reached past moss and stone and the uncertain lines of rogue territory, curling like fingers into a place she had been trying not to think about. Moonshadow. Luna sensed it first as an itch. Not on her skin. In her lungs.

"You? You get a gold bar for burying a coffin. If your brother could do the job, wouldn't it be better? "You've laid to rest so many young souls, maybe it's your turn now." Mom's face twisted into something monstrous, her arms and legs jerking towards me like a puppet on strings. I sobbed and stumbled backward, "Mom, it's me, Silvia, what are you doing?"

The woman staring back at me was pale and exhausted, but her eyes burned with a quiet determination. Slowly, I moved closer, finger trailing the cold glass. And then I saw it — a flicker, subtle but unmistakable. A shadow moving just behind my reflection, a shape that didn’t belong. My heart skipped. ---
