What's Done In The Shadows Novels & Stories

Trigger Warning: This chapter contains depictions of severe psychological trauma, depression, an attempted act of self-harm, and themes of captivity and abuse. Reader discretion is advised. Dying. Every single day, I feel like dying. The urge to simply throw myself out of the bedroom window just to escape this torment constantly claws at my mind, but something always holds me back at the edge. It feels as though some unseen force, a lingering echo of an instinct, is desperately stopping me from crossing that final threshold.

I slid my hands beneath my thighs to hide the tremble in them. Asher leaned forward in his seat. “What did the spell do?” Instead of looking at Asher, Zeke met my eyes as he spoke. “The spell created something. Something dark and never before seen by our world. It created the Shadows.” Tristan’s already pale skin grew paler, like wet tissue paper draped over cobalt veins. “The Shadows? You’re sure?” He asked.

All the verbal abuses were unintentionally recalled as soon as he read all the reports regarding what had happened around the country. A sneaky attack. It was one of Shadow’s specialties. She had a lot of specialties and she usually was so keen to show off every bit of it. And destroying the enemy’s gold mine was one of them and she could do it discreetly until she had done. “What should we do, Amino?” In trembling, he raised his head and his quivered eyes gazed at Amino.

I applaud your courage. Smiling Trish said with a lopsided head. ‘Compliment me all you want but I will never do that again, ever!’ She spoke as she unlocked the car door and they hopped inside. They drove in silence for some time ‘Coming to think of it I suspect that there is more going on in that place and that the night club is just a cover. I am curious to find out what they are dealing in.’ Trish murmured Puzzled Connie asked ‘Are you out of your mind Trish? We narrowly escaped from that place and here you are thinking of meddling in their affairs, well you can count me out.’

The truck sped across the muddy beaten path full of tire tracks from other vehicles. Lukas stared at the bright sky. Even if it was morning, the fact that the things they fight in the shadows existed made the world a dark one that no sunrise could ever illuminate. Back when he was living in ignorance, everything was colorful but when he was pulled into a battlezone where incarnated nightmares are the belligerents, everything just becomes black and white. And he thought that the Moro rebellion was dark enough. This conflict, simply known in the documents as the Shadow War, had made him see everything.

Obstacles that could be overcome, but how? Matthias stood still and watched as she continued down the path and noticed that she turned around again, seeking one last glance at him before she disappeared from view. He knew right then and there that he needed to win her over and quickly. He needed a plan to win her over. Immediately! There was no time to waste! Time was of the essence. But how? Pure and simple, manipulation. Manipulation. Reader Notes: Welcome to the world of Das Schatten, aka, the Shadows. The Schatten can turn into shadows and travel through walls and objects, unless they are bound with silver chains.

I tried not to exert any surprise expression even though I couldn't help every time one of His Majesty's shadows appeared out of nowhere. With my wolf senses, there were times I failed to notice their presence. Elite knights and Shadows were different. Shadows were more precise and frightening. They could end someone's lives if they found that it threatened the Alpha King. The two factions had the same goal, but they had different tasks to handle. Shadows could be messengers, delivering the orders of the His Majesty in secrecy. They moved as light as feather, impossible to detect as if they were invisible. They wore in black clothing and hid their faces to protect their identity.

I asked again. He stopped sipping coffee and looked at me. “You’re making me worried, Ethan. What exactly happened between you and Izobel? Did you two break up? You seemed to be in shock?” “Nolan, have you ever heard of The Lightning Shadow Pack? The Sky Guardians?” I asked again, looking blankly into space. In between us, while I trained more in the use of weapons, Nolan spent time in the library, reading and investigating about the council.

Valeria, sensing the undercurrents of deceit, became a pivotal figure in the unfolding drama. The Pillars of Unity, standing tall in the heart of the empire, seemed to cast long shadows as Valeria grappled with the hidden machinations of the Shadows. Cryptic messages, left in the shadows of the Pillars, hinted at the impending threat. The Keepers of the Veil, alerted to the clandestine activities, initiated a discreet investigation to uncover the true motives of the Shadows of Discord.
