she kept talking to him like she understood what was happening in his head. “I’ll need you to push the shadows at full force all at once.

But we do not act without telling her. ‘Fine.’ The pressure dropped. The shadows retreated back to where they belonged.

The chamber was still and silent once more. My hands were shaking, a fine tremor from the adrenaline still singing through my veins. Cassius started toward me, but a new threat erupted from the ground—a thorny barricade of thick, shadowy tendrils shooting up to form a wall between us. I focused, my breath catching in my throat. I willed my mana to flow across the floor like liquid moonlight, to snake around the base of the tendrils, constricting them like spectral vines. When my mental hold was absolute, I clenched my fist. The Shadowed tendrils crumbled into harmless nothingness.

The gold beneath my skin flickered again, weaker now, like a candle burning low, the flame sputtering in a draft. The crown on my head pressed against my temples, heavy and silent. "We need to cut it out," Theron said. He had stopped reading and was staring at my arm, his gold eyes wide. "The way you cut the shadow out of me. It worked then. It can work now."

The Sorgentone estate's grand gallery was designed to look like a modern cathedral, but when the glass broke and the mountain wind blew through the open structure, it felt more like an abandoned soundstage. The expensive track lighting lay dead. The only illumination came from the erratic, sweeping high-beams of a police cruiser idling down in the canyon, its blue and red strobes painting the marble walls in a sickening, rhythmic pulse.

I wrap my fingers tightly around the cold, rusted iron, raising my hand until the jagged tip of the nail is pressed firmly against the sensitive skin of my throat. "If you allow yourself to survive here any longer, he will only break you down until there is nothing left. You need to beat Archie to the punch. If your entire existence is going to be reduced to endless torture in this house, then it is better... it is so much better to just end it now. Let the suffering finally stop..." I squeeze my eyes shut, bracing every muscle in my body as I prepare for the white-hot flash of physical pain to wash over me. I hold my breath, completely surrendering myself to the rapidly approaching embrace

All my time and energy weren't wasted when I finally saw the last ingredient. I picked it up, it looked very black and scary. Now I see why it's hard to locate. I walked back to my secret hideout and started applying it on her whole body just as the old woman had instructed. It wasn't easy applying it on her at first because of the strong smell, but with time, it reduced and I was able to apply it on her.

The technique allowed the user to re-render his presence with help of photons in the surrounding. Photons were everywhere, so it was a technique that can be used for both attacking as well as defending. Camouflaging and hiding were also very easy to achieve and can be used as effective decoys in close and ranged combat. Kiara also activated her Chakra to minimize the incoming damage.
