Novel & Cerita Shadow Series

Hunters. “Shadowthorn sends a message!” one roared. “The Alpha wants his heirs!” Aria shoved the twins behind her, blades already drawn. “Over my dead body.” Luka’s shadows flared. Lila growled, tiny body vibrating with power. The lead hunter lunged. Aria met him mid air, driving both blades into his chest. Hot blood sprayed across her face. She twisted, using his momentum to slam him into the second attacker. Luka’s shadows wrapped the third wolf’s legs, yanking him down. Lila pounced, ripping out his throat with a snarl that was far too mature for her age.

I saw a world where I was still a servant in the packhouse, and another where I was the one who had killed Silas. My stomach turned. My head throbbed with a pain so intense I thought my skull would split. It was too much data. Too much reality. *"The Shadow unit was a necessary sacrifice for the ignition of the White Fire,"* the voices said. *"He has been returned to the Source. He is being repurposed for Iteration 402."* "Repurposed?" I stood up, my legs shaking, my eyes flashing with a sudden, violent heat. "He isn't a tool! He’s a man! He’s the King of Shadows!"

​The aftermath of the orbital phase-shift had left Neo-Tokyo in a state of beautiful, terrifying suspension. The "Static Blanket" was gone, but the air still crackled with the residual energy of the Vane Triad-Link. Above, the stars were visible, but the sky was also crowded with the flickering lights of descending recovery teams. The Shadow Council was no longer interested in a clean purge; they were moving in for a brutal extraction.

Golden arrows slowly emerged, timidly trying to chase away the shadows of the night. The great fire disc made its appearance. First, it emerged as a red line growing wider and wider until it rose victorious into the angelic blue sky, ready to stretch its arms over the whole earth. It tamed its color slightly, becoming comforting as it shyly soaked up the night frost with which you would think it was soothing its own color.

The shadow was the Spirit Tool of the Celestial Abode. In modern terms, it would be something akin to an artificial intelligence robot. Though it was not a living being, it had a consciousness, which allowed him to converse with humans. The shadow looked at them once more and shook its head slightly while sighing, “It appears that Master must have set the designated time wrongly. Who the hell are these people? With how weak they are, how are they qualified to obtain his inheritance?”

While Bo has a shining white head free of even a single strand of hair and a short thin (mostly gray) facial hair and smells like golden spice. Gray is standing on the left side of a semicircle made up of him, Cordelia and Bo, with cordelia being in the middle, a few yards just ahead of us. Gray’s holding a long thick metal link chain in his hands, conversing with the two. Iselyn and I stop a few feet away, just close enough to alert them to our presence and hear the conversation.

Shadow water touched four of the ninjas and all of them succumbed to darkness, leaving behind no trace at all. The shadow eater shot towards Hikari and me. Hikari slashed his Katana, shooting out bright blue and white light like the waves of the ocean. The shadow eater veered, changed its projectile and then shot at us again. Yuki roared, chasing after the shadow eater. We were so distracted in handling the one in front of us we lost track of the ones who were still trying to get out of the crater. “Zeve! Watch out!” Rage yelled, and it was then I saw that four of them had been released already.

"Shadow never leaves the third realm, not since he became the head of the assassin clan." "Brandon Kane is going undercover and has been requesting information regarding the shapeshifter in the photo," Stefano said, putting a photo on the desk where Clavier was working on. The doctor glanced at the photo for a second, and his eyes trembled slightly before he looked away. Undoubtedly, it was Shadow in the photo, even though it wasn't his real appearance. Clavier knew it from a glance because Shadow's eyes glowed in a particular color when he faced the camera. Other shapeshifters' eyes glowed in yellow when they looked into a camera.
