Skylanders Nightshade Novels & Stories

Each of them formidable alphas from packs with unique abilities and legacies. Caius Knight Black of the Nightshade Pack was a tall man with long, sleek black hair that framed his chiseled face. His eyes were a piercing silver, sharp and calculating, often concealed under the shadow of his brow. The Nightshade Pack was known for their mastery over shadows and stealth, and Caius embodied that secrecy and quiet danger. His wolf, as dark as night itself, was a shadow among shadows, capable of blending into the darkness without a trace.

"Sure, I'll be direct. I want to purchase the Nightshade Discipline." The Nightshade Discipline was the secret technique that allowed Derek to conceal his presence. It was so effective that even Felix, who had achieved several realms above him, could not detect him. Any martial artist would know how valuable such a technique was. Darren's smile vanished instantly. "I don't care how you found out about it, but please leave. It's not for sale." This reaction surprised Felix, but he wasn't about to give up. He held up one finger. "Let me make an offer—"

The same strength sucking world she’d insisted on walking one last time before the boys got back. I looked down at her, eyes closed, teeth clenched, struggling to hang on. I balanced her silver ring, a gift from our Mother, on my knee and pulled my grey sleeve over my finger tips, dabbing at the beading sweat on her forehead. Something was happening in the Blacklands and for the first time in memory, Shades were crossing the Southern boundry in droves, bringing with them their violet sky and starless nights. They didn’t eat, they didn’t sleep, they didn’t stop. They just kept coming, pushing us back and taking our land, leaving a sea of dead bodies in their wake.

“Let’s find somewhere safe together.” A strange skittering sound made me whip toward the shopping district. A long, spindly humanoid figure crawled up the wall and vanished over the roofline. Oh god... what in the fresh fuck was that? We have spider creeps now? I blinked hard and stared at the bowling ball-sized holes punched into the brick wall. the sleds reins pulled taut. I swallowed my terror and turned back to Trey. He stood pale and frozen, his body locked in a runner’s crouch. His eyes remained glued to the roof, and only his white-knuckled grip on the reins kept him from bolting.

"Summon Elder Pei and Beta Prime Marcus to the Royal Study immediately!" *** The Phantom Nightshade bloomed only once every five years. Its petals were a deep, bruising purple that emitted a strange, intoxicating fragrance. Under the moonlight, the flower seemed to refract light like shattered stars—breathtakingly beautiful, yet fatal. It was known as the Flower of Death. If a wolf ingested even a speck, their insides would liquefy within moments. Its cultivation was notoriously difficult, requiring a specific balance of soil and shade. Many high-born she-wolves in the Royal Capital had attempted to grow it for its beauty, but only one had succeeded: Beta Prime Marcus’s daughter, Cassandra.

Drawing power from the moon had actually energized me instead of draining me. We walked back to the pack house in comfortable silence. The forest around us felt peaceful. Safe. I could sense Shadowcrest’s pack bonds, even though I didn’t belong to them yet. The territory itself felt protective. We were almost at the house when Kade’s Beta, Marcus, appeared. He looked tense. “We have a problem,” Marcus said. “A courier from Nightshade just delivered this.” He held up an envelope sealed with the Nightshade crest. Kade took it and read the contents. His jaw tightened.

Lysandra asks as we run. "Somewhere they'll never think to look." "Where?" "You'll see." We reach the border just as the first hints of dawn touch the sky. A figure waits there. Cloaked. Hidden. "You're late," the figure says. "We're here." I step forward. "Do you have it?" The figure produces a small vial. Dark liquid swirls inside. "Essence of nightshade. Mixed with wolfsbane. Enough to kill even an Alpha." I take the vial carefully. "And the location?"

She lost her son and her best friend in the process, she wasn’t likely to make the same mistake again. First I would have to get him to agree. Waiting until the sun was low in the sky I walked to the boarders of Lilith’s wards, once again the small bonfire could be seen between the trees. I was unsure on how to proceed, knowing if I stepped out of the wards I would be unprotected. I needn’t worry for long, before I could decide how to go forward, Lysander appeared before me. Once again, his towering form shrouded in his heavy black cloak, his face hidden from view bar the two bright glowing orbs that are his eyes.

He mumbled a little before turning on his side but did not awaken. She shook her head, How can you be Dusk and Duskin? How can you pretend to be such a dark child when you are so kindhearted? Although she desired the answer to the question, she figured that she would never obtain the answer. Nightide remained secretive about their past. Hae Mina shook her head as she ventured up the staircase then fell on her bed in a heap. Her brain was too exhausted to push her back into her dreaded nightmares and so she slept heavily and deeply.

BRYNN We were heading over to Nightshade for a very important meeting. We were not really told anything other than the fact that it tied into the gifted wolves that had been going missing from various packs. It was something that the Council had us all on full-alert for. Nightshade was a sanctuary for gifted wolves. Shadow Falls, Dante’s pack, also had a fair share of gifted wolves as well. Hell, even our pack had quite a few since we were taking them in too instead of it just being those two packs. We were a team after all.
