"What are these shadows, elder? What must we do to face them?" The elder was silent for a long moment, her eyes closing as if she were listening to a voice only she could hear. Then she opened them and spoke, her voice carrying the weight of prophecy. "The shadows are the wounds of the past. They are the grief of those who were lost, the anger of those who were wronged, the fear of those who were forgotten. They have festered over the years, and they have taken root in the hearts of the people. Your family has the power to heal these wounds. But you must be patient. You must be kind. And you must never lose hope."

“It’s more than just pain though. That much shadow inside him? It’s probably chaos. Like I said, the shadows have no loyalty, and they operate by their own rules. Right now, his shadow side outweighs every other part of him. So that’s the side that dominates.” My stomach clenches, and I set the Pop-Tart down. “Could we find some way to pull the excess shadows from him?” Kian shakes his head, his gaze flicking up to me for a second before returning to his food. “If there was a way, we’d have found it by now.”

A brooding looking man at the end of the table said. “Me– me too. I refuse.” Stephanie added, stammering as she spoke. “And if I may ask, why?” I asked with a smirk. “Is it that you are slightly guilty?” Zahra said, completing my thoughts. Stephanie shifted in her seat looking down but the brooding looking man didn't. “I don't want to be subjected to pain all in the name of finding some mysterious shadows that I'm not sure even exist. “Oh, you don't have to worry. It only hurts if you're a shadow. It doesn't otherwise and the shadows aren't mysterious. We clearly showed you proof.”

He looked at me directly. "How do we know you will not lose control? How do we know you are not just waiting for the right moment to turn on us?" Fair questions. Terrifying questions. But fair. "You do not," I said simply. "You do not know. Just like I do not know if one day my power will overwhelm me and I will become the monster everyone fears." Gasps throughout the hall. Draven's hand tightened on mine in warning, but I continued. "I am Shadowborn. That means I carry destruction in my blood. The potential for catastrophic violence. That will never change.

The Shadow’s voice cut through softly. “You can sustain them…” A pause. “…or you can end me.” Ethan’s eyes opened. The battlefield stilled. Even the wind seemed to stop. --- The Twist “To destroy me,” the Shadow continued, “you will need everything.” It raised its hand slowly. “All your power.” Another step closer. “All your focus.” Its voice dropped to a whisper. “And all your self.” Ethan didn’t move. “You cannot do both,” the Shadow said. “You cannot save them…”

“Don’t worry. You can go back to it. I just want to show you something” “Was Ebony right about me?” I ask. If anyone was to know Celeste would. “In a way yes, but in a way also no. Pain, suffering, trauma is what causes a Shadow as you know. But those things don’t guarantee a Shadow. Ebony as a shadow herself could see your trauma. Trauma doesn’t need to corrupt you; it will try really hard to. You have remained light, and kind. That’s why you aren’t a shadow. Your pain doesn’t define you”

Astra moved beside Lyra. “Ignore it.” The shadow smiled. “Why?” Its gaze settled on me. “I’m the only one who isn’t lying to her.” My stomach twisted. The worst part? A tiny piece of me wanted answers from it. Because every answer I received seemed to create ten more questions. Lyra noticed immediately. Her expression softened. “That’s how it works.” I looked at her. “What?” “It finds uncertainty.” A pause. “And feeds it.” The shadow’s smile widened. Which confirmed she was telling the truth.

My workplace knew all about the skeletons in my closet and kept a tight lid on any info about me. To keep my parents from tracking me down, they had spun a yarn about me skipping the country after getting my master's. My parents finally stopped chasing ghosts. They needed cash and had debts to clear, so they hit the pavement looking for any work. However, the past scandal had left a lasting impact, and their rap sheets did not do them any favors. No one would touch them with a ten-foot pole. Before long, on the streets of the town I once called home, an old couple scraped by, living off what they could salvage from the trash.

" Sarah sobbed, smacking herself in the face. I did not have time for her drama. I walked right up to Wade, who looked like he had seen a ghost. "Wade, all this plotting… What was the point of it? Just because the Jones Group snagged that huge Twilight City project you've been drooling over for three years? "By taking me down and gobbling up the Jones Group, you think the Wadewell Group will be the last one standing, huh?" Wade's gaze turned dark and menacing as he whipped around to face the reporters who were still trying to catch up and bellowed. "Don't listen to her! She's making all this up, trying to throw you off the scent! Are you going to let this heartless tycoon walk free? Stand wi
