《Shadow’s World》17. Where it all started
Advertisement
The fairies wave their hand at the young boy and flew towards him. They fly into his hair and start playing hide and seek with each other. In the distance we see other little kids playing as well but they saw the shadow and all of them ran away. They ran back to their village and the shadow looked sad and went back playing with the fairies. The boy games with the fairies brought him back to the village but there was something strange about the house. It seems to be located on the outskirts of the village and it looks run down. These people might be outcast and are living on the outside of the village. The young shadow looks around and finds a farm behind the house. The shadow sees someone and hides in some bushes and watches the people farm the land. It was a family of three with a little girl the shadow’s age.
This is a funny sight the shadow acts all macho and stuff but is hiding when he sees a girl his age. I look at my sister and she just shakes her head. “I bet he still thinks like that little boy now. He is just a big kid.” The family seems underweight and the girl is someone you wouldn’t remember on the street if you pass them by. She had a dark brown skin tone with big cheeks. She had braids running down her back. She looks like a little brown squirrel. What makes it worse is she is cover in dirt.
Yet looking at the shadow’s face he is in love with her. He cannot take his eyes off of her. The fairies try to pull him away but he just sat there looking at the girl. The fairies got tired of trying to pull him away and instead sat on top of his head. The screen starts moving faster and day turn into night. The fairies have left the shadow and he was still in the bush watching the family. They seem done with their work and start heading back inside. That is when the little looks at the bushes where the shadow was hiding. She gives him a smile and waves her hand at him. The shadow sees her looking at him and takes off into the night. He runs back home where his mother hugs him tightly. She starts to cry, “sister why is she crying like that?” my sister sighs and says “it seems that the shadow is out past the time he usually home or he went somewhere that his mother couldn’t find him. She was worried about him and is happy that he is safe and sound. Or there is another reason she is worried that he is lost and something bad might happen to the village and her.” I turn back to the screen and it seems like there was another time shift now it is a new day. The shadow once again visits the house and this time the little girl was waiting for him. She takes his hand and takes him down to her farm. At first, the shadow looked shocked and now he seems happy to follow her.

She shows him to her parents and the adults just look at him with cold emotionless eyes and got back to work. She took the shadow to another part of the farm and start showing him how she works. The shadow picks it up quickly and in no time at all, they finish the job. The parents looked at the kids and just nodded and the shadow took the girl to the lake because the work was finish. The shadow shows the little girl how to skip the stones on top of the water. They played to the girl's parents went to the lake and got her. They looked scared and quickly left after they got their child. The next day the boy and girl were shown to do the farm work again. After they finished the shadow takes the girl to the lake again but this time instead of skipping a rock the shadow looks around and show the girl his powers. He shows off he has the ability to make a white flame on top of his finger. The little girl is happy and claps her hands at the sight and the shadow puts on a huge grin as well. He starts showing off in front of the girl. With a wave of his hand he made the water move to his will and then he makes a house out of the earth. Around them he made day turn into night and he made a snowman. The girl was excited about each and every little thing. After showing off his powers to the little girl he takes her to the fairies. The faires that were playing in the grass happy flies toward the shadow and the little girl. They start playing with the little girl’s hair and her giggles and hides behind the shadow. They play until once again the girl’s parent get her and bring her back home.
“that little girl is my wife. I am going to do another huge time skip also at that time we didn’t have a language so I never had a name and neither did she. She was one of the few people that weren’t afraid of me or my powers. Now let’s get back to the show.” The shadow’s wife is now pregnant and she is now giving birth. She gives birth to two baby boys. One has a fairy flying around him and the other one just burn fire. The shadow’s wife had this huge smile on her face after seeing her children abilities but the shadow looked confused. He pokes his children a few times and tries his head in confusion. “Hmm, I forgot this part happen. Ok, people, I am not a monster that hates his children. But I am a monster that you all should fear, no my children were so much weaker than me that it left me to confuse. I later found out it is because they had so much of my blood inside of them that they couldn’t use my abilities to their full power. It seems that my power is so strong that it has its own lock and key. That tattoo on my hand was a lock that the fairies put on me from going out of control and I have been done that to my decent as well unconscious. They are only able to use how much power as I think they can take, well my blood decides. Now back to the movie.”

After the shadow’s little speech we go back to watching the family interacting with each other. The shadow was poking the babies bellies and they were laughing. “come to me you do not belong there” it was the first time we heard a speech from someone, and also it was in English. The shadow looks around trying to find the source but no one in the room spoke. “I am in your head follow the waves to find me.” The shadow leaves the room and looks up at the sky. The focus zooms in and we see what must be the red planet Mars with life and buildings. They look way more advance then we were and had spaceships going in and out of the planet. There was a guy waving his hand with a light black dragon, white tiger, Phoenix, and a world turtle beside him. “ we are your friends come here the world you are living now is below you. I can show you things that you couldn’t even imagine.” The shadow shrinks his shoulders and walks back inside with his wife that came out with a worried face. He smiles then went back playing with his children. There was a long black swipe.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
