Shadow Shadow Fruit Novels & Stories

"Whatever you have, Emily," The little girl pulled out from underneath the stall a basket of fruits of all shapes and colors. Each little finger pointed at each fruit and said, "The black dragon fruit helps the fire-system spirit beast increase its attack power. The blue hedgehog helps the ice-system spirit beast increase its defense; the spiny hedgehog helps the spirit beast level up; I am not sure what effect the red avocado has. Most of them come from murky forests." "Heavy goods, yes?" Aoip asked.

Frank raised his eyebrows. “Thanks Boss” Pete walked back with four tall tumblers of drinks. “Cheers!” They drank and sat talking political nonsense and sporting bets. Drinks flowed non-stop. “Are we drunk?” Shadow placed his hands before his face and continued with a silly smile “Hark, I think I have superpower… Look” He raised his hands in front of Ben “I have four hands like the gods in legends.” Hark rubbed his eyes and looked again at Stinton’s hands. Grey raised his finger and counted “1, 2, 3, 4…”

Ciara’s POV My eyes widened at the sight before me and somehow my arms around Dax’s neck tightened and his hold on me tightened too. “Deep breath, little one,” he mumbled. “I got you.” I nodded, trying to keep my racing heart in check, my eyes focused on what's around me. Shadowfen wasn’t just a pack territory. It was a living masterpiece where nature, technology, and raw magic had fused into something breathtakingly impossible. Towering trees with leaves that shimmered like liquid emerald rose hundreds of feet into the sky, their trunks wrapped in glowing runes that pulsed softly.

"That crappy orchard your brother bought. It’s got quite a bit of rosemary in it. Ha! Not only has that dump never made a single dime, we still have to pay a crew to maintain it every year." A thought flickered in my mind. I knew that place. The orchard sat on a ruined silver mine, its trees drawing on the soil and the breath of silver for years, gaining a power to ward off evil. The Haunts came with the wind, but silver tamed the wind. Those trees were worth far more than my mother and brother could ever imagine. If my infant spirits had wielded weapons made from that wood, they would have been unstoppable.

The light of dawn filters through the foliage, draping the forest in shades of gold and green. Shadow sits beside me, still recovering from his transformation. His arms rest on his knees, head bowed as though carrying the weight of the world. He doesn’t speak, but I know he’s trying to process what just happened.

“…You’re my SHADOW. So, you fucking STAY as one!” Black tendrils spread from her shadow onto Nozomi. It wrapped around Nozomi's arms as it climbed up to her face. It also spread down her torso to her legs. The more the tendrils consumed Nozomi, the more the shadow melted away, as if they were melding into one.

I clear my voice and took a deep breath as I mentally prepare myself to read this monstrosity. ’I love you. I know for a fact that I will never be able to understand why you question how much I do... But you have given me something I’ve never had. And that’s my shadow. Love isn’t selfless, sweet, or innocent. Love is dark, selfish, and passionate. And I wouldn’t have known what love genuinely was without you. Love is a dangerous drug with intoxicating feelings as side effects. You may think being my shadow is terrible, but what is light without its darkness? What’s a life without the inevitable death? You must realize how much you mean to me, right? I even made this sappy speech for you. But

It is so dark here… I want to get out from here but I can’t move my hand and lags feels like I am paralyzed… Why? I am trying my best to move but I can’t. Why? Help! Help! I want to get out from here… soon I lost my hope… Unexpectedly, I saw someone swimming towards me giving me her hand and she is a girl… girl? I can’t see her face, I want to see her… who is she? It is so dark here; I want to see her but unfortunately… “Sam”, I heard someone is calling me, it sounds similar… I realized that,

He helped me through and pulled me close to him. "Ready?" "Yeah." Adam held up an apple and called, "Shadow." Shadow began to walk towards us. Adam took my hand and put the apple in it. "Okay, just stay still and hold your arm out like this." As soon as Adam stepped away from me, Shadow stopped walking. "Shadow," Adam firmly said, making Shadow let out a low neigh. "If you want Apples, this is the only way you're gonna get them." Shadow neighed again. I began to feel nervous.

Willow grabbed her phone and typed back furiously. As the bubbling water spilled over from the pot, Willow knocked it off the stove in a panic. Immediately, a sharp, burning pain shot through her foot.
