《Shadow’s World》chapter 16 The shadow is born.
Advertisement
The screen changes and instead of showing the stadium it is now a gray screen with black numbers with the number 3 showing. The shadow snaps his fingers, and he is now sitting back with us with popcorn and the screen starts to countdown. 3, 2, 1, and it now shows us a small village with around a hundred people. We see a few people in a room and a lady is giving birth. There were eight small fairies hovering over the pregnant lady. The fairies were color code to the elements there was a dark blue, light blue, brown, green, yellow, red, black, and white fairy. I never seen those type of fairies I thought they were all neutral in the color purple. Both my sister and I have purple fairies that hover over us. The baby is born and the fairies push the people to make them go outside with the little boy.They left the mother inside of the room to rest. The people looked confused, wondering why the fairies was so excited and wanted them to go outside, but they did as the fairies ask. That is when I saw an unbelievable scene. Faries by the thousand or maybe even millions lined up outside kneeling in front of the baby boy. The other eight fairies also got on their knees and bow to the boy. A dragon was showing flying overhead. It wasn’t like the dragon that brought us to mars this one had limbs and it was the darkest creature that must have ever lived. It gave out a loud deafening roar. The people in the village started to scream and run around. The dragon flew down, and it crashed into a building and gave another roar. The villagers stopped and were shaking in fear. Now, seeing it up close and it was huge, it must have been 30 meters tall. It pointed to the people and the point to the fairies that were kneeling. The villagers looked around and some of them started to knee. The rest look at the dragon and he points back to the kneeling villagers. The rest got down on their knees as well and kneeling to the dragon. The dragon shook his head and pointed towards the child. The villagers turn toward the child and put their heads on the ground. They were still shaking from fear. The dragon spots one person a male and grabs him. The man screams, but the dragon raises him in the air and then roared. The fairies in response hit the ground with their fist. They did this seven more times and each time they gave a louder response. The eight fairies then got up and flew right next to the baby. They circle him and beams of light came out of their hands to enter the baby. On, his hand a tattoo of a spider appeared. The baby giggles and try to touch the fairies, but they flew out of reach. The fairies then shoot different color lights in the air. The dragon roars and sends out a jet black flame into the air and the rest of the fairies follow and shoot up different elements.

The villagers watch the spectacle and then something unexpected happens. The baby also shot out the elements of fire, water, ice, wind, and earth. But he does something unexpected. From his eyes one shown a bright light the other cause darkness to spread anywhere he looks. The villagers looked at the baby with awe and fear. The dragon gave one last roar and put down the man and bow to him and knee to the baby. After that, it took off. The eight fairies took off right after him. The other kneeling fairies got up and walked away, leaving behind tremors. They handed the baby back to the man that the black dragon picked up.
The man took the baby back into the shed where his mother laid. She is sleeping inside of the bed. The man shook her awake and gave her the baby so the baby could breastfeed. It seems the man is the baby‘s father. The father was making clicking noises to the mother and waving his hands around. Wow, was the shadow born before there was even a language. The mother didn‘t seem to mind what the father was trying to communicate. She was just worrying about the baby. The father gives up on trying to tell the mother what just happened. The mother is humming a soft melody to the baby, the father pace madly around the room. An older man walks into the shed and points to the baby. The father leaves and the mother keeps singing her song.
Time fast forwards and it is now at night and the father is back angry and the mother looks worried. It doesn’t seem the villagers know what to do with the baby. There was a knock on the door and the father grabbed the women and held her tightly with the baby. The knocking grew louder until they kicked the door in and the villagers had torches and grabbed the family. The baby whines and the villagers brought the family to a horse and buggy. It seems they will send the family away when the screen goes dark. Yet, we could still hear the people and the torches and the family. Seven different lights pop up on the screen. They were dark blue, light blue, brown, green, yellow, red, and white, it seems they were the fairies from before and the black fairy was the only one I couldn’t see. The white fairy moved and then the night turned into day. The villagers looked confused. The baby pointed toward the fairies and back to the house he was born in. The fairies took the mothers and father's hand and flew them back into the house. The villagers we still looking in shock when the fairies came out of the house and they wiggle their fingers to the villagers, the fairies pointed toward the sky and the black dragon was their also with him was an Asian type red dragon. The same type that flew us to mars. The black dragon pointed towards a mountain in the distance and the red dragon let out a huge fireball. It blew the mountain away with one attack. All the villagers scream and then fall to the ground, bowing toward the dragons. The black dragon’s roars and then pointed toward the baby’s house. The villagers all nodded and then bowed toward the baby’s house. The dragon few and the fairies wave goodbye and left, the villagers look at one of them and then form a circle around him. They took their touches and started beating a person. They beat him until he was a mess; I think he is dead. Wow, the guy was a pile of burned meat. The villagers all went back home. The next day a little boy came out of the shadow’s home what happen did he grow overnight? “I fast forward the story a little. I next time I will show a hint instead of just having a time skip.” The shadow says to the audience. Oh, that explains a lot, and it looks like they treat the little boy special among the other villagers. The all move out of his way and bow when he walks in front of him.

The boy left the village and walked to a nearby pond and started to skip rocks. The spider tattoo is still visible on his hand, and yet nothing seems special about the boy. Well, the next second took the words out of my mouth. Not only was he skipping rocks but also killing fish. He would hold up three of his fingers and then skip a rock. It would skip three times before hitting a fish jumping out of the water blowing away its head. Well, at least he isn’t doing this only for sport he is collecting the dead fish and putting them inside of a bucket. I wonder if he could use his fairy and elemental powers. We see some grass fairies playing around him in a flower patch. The boy jumps out of the water after collecting the last fish and run over to the fairies.

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
