Shadow Novels & Stories

I was able to display my intelligence. “Look at the Forest of Shadows, named because it shadow is twice as much as its geography making it look a lot bigger than it actually is and thus making it look very dark miles before you even reach the actual forest. We can use this to create confusion,” as I spoke, I pointed at the large map that was spread out on the table.

Right after I spoke, Isolde screamed, pulling one assassin her way. Thorne moved back to shield her. All his focus was on Isolde, and he did not see another assassin coming at me. I could feel the poison coursing through my veins. My sight was fuzzy, and I was quickly losing my grip on consciousness. Through the blur, I thought I saw someone bravely step in front of me and kick the assassin's blade away... When I woke up, my four friends who might one day be more than just friends were all by my bedside.

But the more I pulled, the more complicated everything became. At midnight, my phone buzzed again. *“The mirror shows what’s hidden. Look closer.”* I glanced at my reflection in the windowpane. 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. ---

I melted into the shadows, dodging each attack, the heat grazing my skin but never quite touching me. I emerged from the darkness once more, sending tendrils of shadow snaking toward him. This time, they were thicker, more solid. They wrapped around his arms and legs, pinning him in place. I tightened my grip, feeling the shadows constrict his movements. Hyperion struggled, his muscles bulging as he tried to break free, but the shadows held firm. For a moment, it seemed like I had him. But then, with a roar of effort, Hyperion's body exploded with solar energy. The

“It hurts… it hurts… make it stop…” The woman crouched beside me. “The Blood Oath never truly dies, my dear. It only waits for the one with the mark.” I gritted my teeth. My hands dug into the soil beneath me, knuckles pale. The woman’s face started to flicker...like a glitch. It felt like... like a televion screen that had fault. Like a broken screen, her features twisted, faving some sort of pixel. Then her image returned a little clearer now.

“Does that mean…” Li Xian took a closer look at the red mark. His observation lasted for about ten minutes before he finally showed a very happy expression mixed with pride. It was a shadow stroke, a move whose complexity often made some warriors give up on learning it. Shadow blow is a move that can injure the bodies of several opponents at once because the move has a fairly long wavelength of damage.

The quiet thickens again, this time not as a blanket, but a web. Caitlyn snarls. Her eyes go black and stay that way. She raises both hands, and darkness comes up off the seams of the shadows like they’re trying to be rope. “Shadows,” I whisper into the small silver thread in my ear. “Help.” ‘Okay,’ Tara says, brilliant and solemn. The roof shadows move. Not big. Not showy. They just decide they’re busy elsewhere. Caitlyn’s hands close on nothing. “Who?” Caitlyn hisses, scenting a child she cannot see.

- "Pin of shadows." Where did he get your mother? - Alud knew what this strange object was doing: being driven into any surface, this pin generated an impenetrable cocoon around itself, from which it was impossible to get out until the pin was pulled out. In addition, she transferred everything around her to another film of reality, hiding what was happening in other matters, only slight perturbations of space can betray what is hidden from prying eyes in such a place. The best way to incapacitate someone or hide something is with the Shadow Pin.

So I knew that they were in there. I mind linked my warriors to bring the men of the town to the mine shaft. As soon as they arrived I looked at the mine shaft and then at the human men. “Start digging.” I said. “We will never get through there before night time.” One of them said. “Yes you will. Otherwise one of you might have a really bad accident in the night time. And there won’t be any witnesses because I don’t see any street lights or any kind of lighting out here.” I said.

No time to change now I'm almost late. Rene looks like a movie star as always, she's dressed in a black top, black skinny jeans, and black boots and she has a black hat and dark sunglasses on. I asked Rene if the sun can kill her she said it can't. It can only weaken you, it won't set you on fire until you turn to ashes. As long as she has something protecting her from the sun she's all good. Whether it's sunglasses, a hat, or an umbrella. Right now she has a double combo. "You ready?" She asks and I sigh.
