They were images of blackened houses, broken bodies, and trembling survivors murmuring in fear. “They said they saw… shadows with horns,” Eden whispered. “They said the shadows walked through fire and didn’t burn. They tore through flesh like paper. One old man said he saw a child disappear in the blink of an eye. There was no blood. No scream. Just… gone.” Sophia paled. Her fingers trembled as she reached into the folds of her robe and pulled out a tattered, leather-bound grimoire. She flipped the pages quickly. “I’ve read this before,” she muttered,. “Long ago. When I was a child. The signs… horned shadows, vanishing people, soulless fire. It’s not mortal.”

It threads around the hex, digging between it and my aura, prying it away from my throat bit by bit. The binding fights back. Needles of black light stab into me—into my lungs, my ribs, my spine. Images slam into my head. Not mine. Blood on stone. A woman screaming. A man shouting orders in a voice I know and don’t know. Moonlight hitting a bassinette. Hands lifting a baby wrapped in something soft. A shadowed figure leaning over with eyes like cracked glass and a smile carved sharp and wrong. “Such a pity,” sthe shadow whispers. “All that power wasted on the wrong side.”

Even their voices, when I passed by them, stayed low.

Sylendra gulped in horror before roaming her eyes back and forth at the huge cabin of her foster brother. Taking two steps ahead. "W-who is it?"

She buttoned the fabric on in quick manner with her shaking fingers while still having her eyes round the cabin with alertness.

Dance with the Devil is a song by Immortal Technique that I once heard. After dancing with a rumored devil in the flesh, I don't know why I can still recall these songs. Nicholas is a peculiar and mysterious individual. When I questioned him about our relationship, he replied, "I'll show you." Shortly after, he had my legs spread wide and had his cookie all to himself while I was resting on my back. I keep wondering just what that particular moment meant. Am I just a gullible young woman who just abandoned herself to a stranger? Love is supposedly blind, but I don't believe it to be more blind than I am. If a blind man can accurately play piano notes.

This time the cloaked figure met him at the top of the stairs and said, "Not tonight. Let's explore." They walked deeper into the hall and entered a library and the figure pulled a book off of the shelf and opened the page without ever showing Anders the spine of the book. Anders was too trusting in his dreams, for dream casting wasn't a power known to either the Schatten or the Toten in the 1100's. To Anders this was just a silly dream and nothing more. "Let's read poetry this evening. The words are so hauntingly beautiful and you will make them just sing off of the page. Here try this."

I felt the heat against my skin and smelt the ozone in the air. The sigil on the walls flared, reacting to Luca’s energy. For a brief moment, the world held its breath. Then… a shockwave of light and shadow erupted, pushing everyone back. --- The Shadow Awakens When the dust cleared, the tunnel was no longer empty.
