Those stories had filled me with fear. The type of fear that lived within you and grew with you. The fears that turned into shadows, following right behind you.

The fear of who I was, and what I was capable of.

That fear. 

Of being hated.

They hated me. I knew it because I heard the stories they told of people like me... People who had one foot in the real world, and another foot in the shadow world. 

I was one of them. A mlezi. I didn't know what would outrage my people more... Being a spirit of dark element or their princess?

Whatever their reaction was, I knew my days were numbered in this kingdom.

Kamaria And The Shadows.

Shani had disappeared, leaving me all alone in this room. 


A lot had been said, yet it was not enough to convince me to leave. Once I had set my mind on doing something, not even death could stop me. However, Shani had left me with a reason to be afraid. The urgency in her voice and the fear in her eyes summed it all. I wondered who the "she" she was talking about. 


Maybe I needed to get out of this place to clear my mind and breath fresh air. The door opened behind me. I quickly spun on my heel with my sword up in the air. 


" Look who's here." He said in sarcasm as he walked in. 


" You look like you saw a ghost." He continued as he closed the door behind him. 


" They don't exist." I shook my head with a smile. 


" Okay." He started fishing around the place. 


" I saw Shani." He looked back at me, then proceeded to nod.
