《Shadow’s World》Chapter 18 The Shadow.
Advertisement
The black dragon is back with the eight fairies once again and they seem to be outside of the shadow’s house. The shadow walks past them and enters his house. His kids are now around our age and had a worry look on their faces. The shadow’s parents holding them tightly in their arms. Their mother was lying on the bed pale and sickly. The wife waves the shadow over; he takes her hand. She uses her other hand to touch the shadow’s face rubbing it. She coughs up blood, and the shadow sat there while the blood hit his face. He gets a drink and tries to give it to her but she doesn’t drink it. She tries to give the shadow back the cup, but it falls out of her hand as her hand drops Shadow’s wife loses the last bit of color. The eight fairies bust into the room and take the children and the shadows’ parents away. The shadow hits the ground and causes a huge crack in the ground.
The room freezes over and darkness creeps in. As the fairies were running away, the darkness spread. The darkness brought ice. The world was turning dark and cold. “Roar!” There were 5 dragons flying toward the house with the shadow. The pure black dragon was in the lead. The black dragon points to the fairies as they are running away. The 4 other dragons nod their heads and fly towards the fairies. They pick them up and put each of the family members on their long snake like bodies. The black dragon entered the darkness and instantly frozen over. The frozen black dragon falls to the ground. Before it hits the ground, the world turns bright. I had to close my eyes and put my arm in front of them. A white flame now covers the dragon. The dragon flies straight at the house. When it is in front of the house, it takes a huge breath and roars. The shadow exits the house with a dead look on his face. With a wave of his hand, the shadow causes the dragon to freeze. The shadow mindlessly walks away from the dragon. Small cracks appear in the ice. Boom! The dragon breaks out of the ice and roars at the shadow. The shadow slowly turned toward the dragon. As the shadow turns toward the dragon, the dragon grows brighter and brighter. Huge white flames covered the dragon. It was burning away all the ice around the house. It was causing the grass to turn to ash. The shadow waves his hand again, but this time nothing happens.

The dragon’s roar causing the ground to shoot out and grabbing the shadow limbs. The earth tries to pull the shadow down into it. The shadow stomps on the ground settling it. The dragon takes in a huge breath and shoots a huge bolt of lightening at the shadow. The earth shoots out from the ground blocking the attack. Boom! Spears made of rocks comes flying out of the dust and flies toward the dragon. The dragon dodges all the attacks and starts flapping his wings. After each flap, tornados forms. The dragon takes a deep breath and fire onto all the tornados. It swings its wings again, causing all the tornados to head toward the shadow. The tornados suck in the dust, showing the shadow once again. The shadow looked at the dragon with pure hate. The shadow jumps through the tornados and punch the dragon. The dragon flies backward. It cash through a mountain. The shadow punch the dragon so hard it flew out of the darkness and caused a small mountain to fall. The other dragon that flew away was flying just above the black dragon. The shadow comes in and punches the dragon again in the face. Wait, the dragon block the attack and punches him into the ground. The dragon puts his hand over the shadow and three different elements surround the shadow. The Earth pins his legs and arms, ice froze all of his limbs, and a ball of water surrounds his entire body. The dragon flies high in the sky, while the shadow is trying to escape his entrapment. The world grows darker. As the area is getting darker, the elements that are holding the shadow in place and get stronger. The dragon roars and the entire area grows dark. Yes, this was the perfect trap. A trap that only the highest tier of fairy can make. The shadow squeezes his hand. The entrapment falls apart and causes a huge shock wave. All the dragon in the sky are push back and one child falls to the ground. The child screams as he falls to the ground and the black dragon drops and saves him.

The black dragon drops to the ground while holding the child. His son saw the shadow lying in the crater and ran toward him crying. The shadow gets up from the crater and looks at the black dragon full of rage. His son runs up to the shadow and starts crying. Begging the shadow to pick him up. The shadow looks down at his son. The shadow falls to his knees, and he gives them a hug as he cries. The other dragon drop and his other son runs to the shadow. The shadow picks both of his children up and walks back to the village. All the villagers got out of his way and the shadow arrived at his house. He put his kids down and looked at his dead wife. He nods his head and takes her into his arms. He beckons his kids to follow him and he walks outside of the village. He stomps his foot and created a hole in which he gently laid down his wife into the ground and then with the wave of his hand cover the hole up again. He takes his kids by the hand and walks back into his house. “I’m sorry about your mate, yes death is a hard thing to take. None one can bring back the dead even with all of your power and mine. The dead are forever dead and there is nothing you or me can do about it. Yet I cannot die I will be here. Your sons cannot live forever no one but us. Come to me I will be your friend forever.”
The shadow looks up at the sky and nodded his head. So even the shadow can’t control life and death. “Oh yeah, I can control life and death. I wasn’t able to before but now I can. But I only bring back people here so they can be my toys. Death is the only thing that is absolute and I refuse to play with that idea. Well, that and also I can careless if I brought back anyone to be anything besides my toys. I didn’t bring back my wife and child because I didn’t want to explain to them what type of monster I am and rather them die thinking I am a good person. Now another time, skip.”
The shadow is now in his 50s looking at his two sons who were standing next to two women from the looks of it they were being married to the two women. The shadow looks thrilled he was standing behind his two sons with his hands on their shoulders. The next scene we see the two sons had many kids while the shadow looks on. We have another time skip this time the two children are grandparents and have died while the shadow looks older but is still alive. The shadow looks down at his children and wife grave. “We are here come there is no reason for you to stay there anymore.” The shadow looks up and called over his now adult grandchild and gives them all hugs and wave goodbye at them. He takes off into the sky crying, leaving his home.
