Shadows were a strange thing. They were the darkness elemental man that had shrunk in to where the light would not chase it away. It was a place that most people could not interact with. Mordant was different. Shadows had always been close to him since his birth.
A shadow and darkness elemental mana came second nature to Mordant as a darkness dragon. He had studied it for many years alone in seclusion. When he had been doing so, he was lucky to notice that not all shadows were the same. Some moved.
Regardless of the monsters that used shadows to travel or hide, they were few in number. But the things he saw moving were not monsters, nor were they other dragons. They were darkness elemental spirits. One in particular, had taken to watching him even when he was considered a young dragon.
