Wings Of Shadows Novels & Stories

Ash still drifted in the air like black snow, settling over ruins that had once been Dawnspire’s proud walls. Serenya’s lungs burned with smoke and power as she struggled to hold herself aloft. Her new wings—woven of starlight and fire—shivered with exhaustion, dimming at the edges. Below, Thalric’s broken crown lay in shards, but the man himself rose from the ashes, alive, his form cloaked in a new and terrible shadow.

Take it down now! However, he did not wait for an answer. I calmly stepped out from the shadows of the room and announced, "I did."

“You… you are not human. Impossible!” Riven’s chest heaved. “We’re not perfect. But we’re alive. And we’re not letting you win.” Suddenly, the shadow heir’s form began to shift, coalescing into something more terrifying: a massive figure, wings of darkness unfurling, tendrils like living blades, and eyes like molten suns. “This… is only the beginning,” the figure hissed. “And now… the choice. I will take the artefact… or the vessel will be destroyed.”

Lucky there’s nothing deep needing stitches. In my grieving and broken state, I begin to feel faint. I let myself go and pass out. Opening my eyes I feel myself transported into another realm. Standing in front of me is my grandmother’s house which stands in front of a looming property which I dare not go near. The “LeFleur” mansion. A place said to belong to my ancestors from centuries ago. A place that continues to haunt my dreams since a child. Something about this place calls to my soul, it pulls me and begs me to return. The house stands in the Normandy countryside. She feels it in the wind and air, she feels it in the depths of the earth, it’s as if a spirit like a piece of me is locke

Iconic. Bukky ducked behind a forklift and returned fire, barking curses in Spanish as he clipped two more. “Cover right!” The Shadow King yelled, diving low. The fight was brutal, quick, but the Shadows were built for this. Shadows don’t blink. They don’t panic. And then, like thunder rolling in, their secret roared to life. Antonioni signaled. A whistling whine pierced the air thickly. From behind a metal crate, one of his boys hoisted it, and two controlled it from their ends.

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

A voice crackled over the intercom, signaling their departure. Sienna took one last look out the window, watching the lights of the city flicker in the distance. “This is really happening,” she murmured. Enzo took her hand, lacing their fingers together. “Yeah. It is.” As the plane lifted off, carrying them toward the life they had fought for, Enzo allowed himself one last thought of the past. And then he let it go. Luca stood in the shadows, the glow of the cigarette between his fingers the only light around him. The roar of the jet engines filled the night, vibrating deep in his chest as he watched the plane carrying Enzo disappear into the darkness.

"Good God!" She had seen pictures in books, many owned by her and her brother back in their role-playing days, and she had seen images on movie screens and paintings, but nothing compared . . . nothing could have prepared her for this. Wings of leather carrying aloft of muscular reptilian body . . . legs tucked underneath the body with a long, barbed tail coming out the back and a serpentine neck coming out the front. And those eyes . . . even in Shamira's Shadow Sight, they glowed an angry red.

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.

I watched with wide eyes and balled fist as she slipped through the door_leaving me to deal with my own unrequited feeling. I let the bottle within my grasp fly across the room in one swing as it shattered into tiny piece just like my heart. This isn't over yet. Not until I say it's over. Aria will be mine. I walked over to the couch and settled back down against the first one as I allow my aching muscles to relax bit by bit. You will be mine Aria...
