《Shadow’s World》16 The Shadow is born
Advertisement
The screen changes and instead of showing the stadium it is now a grey 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 we are now shown a small village with a few people. We see a few people in a room and a lady is giving birth. There were 8 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. The people looks confuse 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. Thunders or maybe millions of fairies were line up outside kneeing in front of the baby boy. The other 8 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 crash into a building and gave another roar. The villagers stop 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 look around and some of them starter to knee as well. 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 point 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 starts screaming but the dragon raise him in the air and then roared. The fairies in response hit the ground with their fist. They did this 7 more times and each time they gave a louder response. The 8 fairies than 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 light, fire, water, ice, wind, earth, and darkness. The villagers looked at the baby with awe and fear. The dragon gave one last roar and but down the man and bow to him and knee to the baby. After that, it took off. The 8 fairies took off right after him. The other kneeing fairies got up and walk away leaving behind termers. The baby was hand back to his father.
The father took the baby back into the shed where his mother laid. She is sleeping inside of the bed. The father shook her awake and gave her the baby so he could breastfeed. Something is strange we can hear the surrounding but no one is talking. There is a lot of pointing and random noise but it doesn’t sound like a language. The mother starts to hum a soft melody to the baby, the father, on the other hand, start to 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 grabs the women and holds her tightly with the baby. The knocking grew louder until the door was kick in the villagers had torches and grab the family. The baby starts to whine and the villagers brought the family to a horse and buggy. It seems they are going to send the family away when the screen went dark. Yet, we could still hear the people and the torches and grab the family. The baby starts to whine and the villagers brought the family to a horse and buggy. It seems they are going to send the family away when the screen went dark. Yet, we could still hear the people and the touches. 7 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 look confuse and the baby’s family as well. The baby point toward the fairies and back to the house he was born in. The fairies took the mothers and fathers 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 a Asian type red dragon. The black dragon point towards a mountain in the distance and the red dragon let out a huge fireball. The mountain was blown away with one attack. All of 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 start beating the person. They beat him until he was a mess, I think he is dead. Wow, the guy was a pile of burnt 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 bit, I next time I will show a hint instead of just having a time skip.” Oh, that explains a lot and it looks like the little boy is treated 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 walk 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 as well. 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.

Dungeon Scholar
Girl meets dungeon. What could go right? A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn't that only logical? Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn't pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won't be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let's say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy. Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important 'character,' arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story's core remains 'girl meets dungeon,' not 'dungeon meets world.' (To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It's just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress's greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her. Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.) Updates every Friday Cover made using Waifulabs Written using 4thewords (referral code: UZJRY55368)
