109 My Shadow (2/2)

Looking into Valara's eyes she knew she had to display her might she then took a look at the Emperor, she did not know how he would react if she hurt his beloved wife in front of him.

”Just fight her and be done with it.

She is just trying to show you that she is currently the leader among my wives, with you showing up she might gain or lose influence and power so she wants to see that between you and her who is stronger.”

”Shut up Dashnell! I will not hand you over to anyone.”

Valara then manifest her violet spear she named Volt.

Watching this a smile appears on Samara's face as well as a few others, Adina then manifest a red spear that begins to burn the air around her.

As they launch themselves at each other I quickly change the location we are in as I do not wish to see my throne room destroyed.

The first Clash of fire and lighting sent Valara flying backwards, she then slammed Volt into the ground to stop herself.

Standing back up the trickle of blood running down her lips slowly returns to her mouth, she smiles at Adina before getting ready for the next clash.

She was happy, happy that Adina was not already so much stronger than her that she and the others might not be a match for her.

As the two women continued to fight spear vs spear sparks and flames burnt the land around them, the others watching alongside me were cheering loud for both women.

Not picking to only support Valara with their chants, this made a smile appear on Adina's face as she fought harder not wanting to lose.

She could feel that Valara was learning and adapting as they fought, the girl was a natural born warrior and her ability to grow and learn so quickly during combat proved it.

As she knocked Valara away once more she prepared to deliver the final blow and knock this battle maniac out.

Swirls of molten lava can be seen circling the spear in her hands as she herself radiated intense heat melting the ground beneath her feet, Valara watching her opponent prepare a massive attack and decided to do the same.

Lifting Volt into the air she focused as she called upon Veles power of storms.

Putting up a barrier to brace for the incoming apocalyptic attack that is bringing this small world to ruin everyone watches as a shadow comes into being and absorbs both attacks.

”Why are you keeping me waiting Master? To watch these children play with each other?

You have changed, I remember when you allowed nothing to exist alongside you.”

Hearing the voice echo out both Valara and Adina know to stop fighting and find the person calling Dashnell Master.

Watching their own shadows flow from beneath them and merge into a beautiful women causes more than shock to appear on their faces, they knew this was one of the Shades, Laura had fought and killed Shades back in Lantar.

Why would one show up here, how did they show up here? They knew Dashnell brought them to a different place so Valara and Adina could fight freely, so how did this Shade find them?

”Don't look so shocked, as his wives and trusted loved ones I am sure you know about Ibrahim and Morrigan.

I am the same as them a part of Dashnell or should I say I am his living shadow.

All those years ago when he lost himself to maddness many of his powers among other things gained a life of their own.

Some left him while others like myself Morrigan and Ibrahim stayed with our creator.

Once Lilly created this new world I stayed by his side but he went into an eternal slumber, as I could no longer follow him I left to create a power that would protect him should he need it.

As his shadow I am just as powerful if not stronger than the current Dashnell, as my body can endure more of his power than his current one.

Now.

With that out of the way could we hurry this along I am busy after all.

Samara rubbed her forehead hearing all this, as did most of the others while a select few glared at Dashnell who simply turned his head as if this had nothing to do with him.

”Many of my (lost children) are alive and well within these vast Realms created by Lilly.

They can feel my energy as it is what created them but only when I am close enough to them.

When I went to the Lantar Realm I encountered her, she attached herself to me before she left and as my shadow... Well she knows where I am at all times as well as what I am doing or thinking.

The others are all linked with my body that is still within the Void and have yet to encounter this body so they have no idea that I am currently running around and alive.”

After filling them in on what is happening Samara speaks up.

”Why not gather them all, would that not make you more powerful and aid you in everything that you wish to do in this life?”

”Let me introduce myself, I am Xillah. Dashnells shadow given a life and body of my own, creator of the Shades.

The reason he will not alert the others is simple. Some wish to kill him, they have already merged together with other powerful creatures to find a way into the Void and kill him while he slumbers.”
