《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.

Ode to Fallen Angels
Jericho, the land of humanity, squirms in pain. Magic has been forbidden for so long in this so called "Age of Silence", that all Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with every passing year. The sight of Demihuman caravans is less frequent every day, as the likes of orcs and elves have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. Clearly, they can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind. Many have succumbed to despair, some driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age that they only ever read about in books. And in the middle of it all, in an old chapel lost in the Eastern lands, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. She is another orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints; one bearing the mark of evil in her red hair, the telltale sign of a Witch. In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, she clings to a single hope: that one day, be it in life or maybe after it all ends, she may find herself forgiven of her sin. The sin of being born.
