A Room of Shadows

--

"Then..."

"... who lit them?"

Shizuka and Kishi both quivered at the scary thoughts that flew through their heads. Hugging themselves for assurance the two young Spirit Wielders cocked their heads around the vicinity, checking to see if there was anyone there.

It seemed that they had forgotten that they're both are one of the world's strongest beings. In their case, they're Spirit Wielders.

The two adolescents could definitely feel eyes crawling on their skin. The goosebumps they felt weren't to be underestimated. It was as if a shadow had grabbed hold of their forms, hugging them to trap them from discovering what's in the room.

Shizuka grunted and exclaimed incoherent words, not caring if the boy on Kishi's back woke up. She ruffled her blonde tresses and jumped down from her platform. Her feet tapped against the stone-cold floor. It sounded like a water drop rather than someone's feet.
