《Bound in the Dark》Illumes Truth Part 3
Advertisement
Illumes POV:
"So what does that mean? You know what, explain everything to me. Stop with all the riddles and tell me right now. Everything."
The Angel reponds:" Oh, it looks as if your temper is showing itself. In doing that you have already failed to control your soul but we will work on that. So everything you say? Where should I start?"
I answer him:" Start with Shadow. What do you mean he was placed into my life?"
The Angel responds with a smirk:" Ah, your so called friend. Well to that I could say he was put into your life or rather this world by others who would benefit from his existence. To be honest he never really existed in the first place. He is simply a catalyst for the darkness within him and without it he would not exist at all so it would not be far to say that he is a lifeless puppet without it."
"What?"
The Angel continues:" Yes, he is or was a lifeless husk made to hold the darkness as a seal if you could call him that."
What the hell is going on? How is this the truth. There is no way that I'll accept that. He is or was his own person, I can't let his name be misused like that. He was a good kid. He was my friend. I don't believe any of this Angels shit. There's no way I would.
"Listen you, there ain't no way my buddy was ever a lifeless husk, he was a person just like the rest of us."
"Oh was he now? It all matters not seeing as he has been killed now does it? But one thing you might like to know is that the darkness inside him has yet to be vanquished."

What does he mean?
"It doesn't matter, the darkness is of no concern to me."
The Angel laughs and says:" Oh but it is, it is of great concern to you and that entire pitiful realm that you adore so much, since it could destroy the entire universe if it wanted which brings me to this conclusion. I have a proposition for you Light Bringer."
" A proposition?"
The Angel continues:" Let us say you really care about your world. Would you be willing to save it or would you be willing to forsake it and live here as a true being of light with me?"
"Are you nuts? Why would I want to stay here with you? Of course I'm saving my world!"
He sighs, afterwards giving me an ugly smirk and then raises his eyebrows as if he expected this. He then continues to talk with a look of disapproval across his face.
" Oh I see. You are clearly too attached to your mortal soul."
I am yet again confused. Why doesn't this guy just get to the point, he literally confuses me everytime he opens his mouth.
"You know what just shut up and tell me what I need to do."
He asks this in surprise:" What brought on this sudden burst of enthusiasm?"
I respond with a clear look of annoyance on my face:" You talk too much. You piss me off. Tell me what I need to do."
The Angel begins laughing so much that I think he might pop something. Once he finishes his bout of laughter he continues to talk again.
"No one has ever been so brash in this realm. It is clear that you are unlike the others. Let us discuss what you need to do then. The most important mission that you need to accomplish is to...
KILL SHADOW."
What did he just say? Kill Shadow? But isn't Shadow already dead? What does he mean? What does this mean? I need answers.

Superworld
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive. Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Jane’s paths are inextricably intertwined, and as each struggles to find their place an unseen force will draw them ever forward – closer and closer to a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world. A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure” by readers, and "completely unreadable" by the author's blind grandfather.
