Chapter 9 - A SHADOW

-DARK in the clothing, yet pained in the heart.

The innocence tries to reach you

But you failed to reach it

What then, is left to do?- Teresa

Amidst a mountain, a young tall man stood, staring at the great Elysian kingdom below.

The young man was dressed in an all black outfit, with a thin piece of clothing covering half of his face. He looked like an assassin in the cold night.

The fine brows of the young stranger narrowed as his burning eyes took observation of the two guards standing outside the giant gate of the kingdom, guarding it.

The stranger closed his eyes and took in deep breaths for some time, as his long black hair flowed in the wind.

Before opening them back, and out of the blue the golden eyes of the stranger flashed something different.

And suddenly, the young man faded into the air, forming as a shadow.

Then the shadow disappeared.

The two mighty guards stood tall and strong as they continued guarding the gate of the kingdom. They were quite awake, despite the cooling touch of the wind. Probably because they were trained to stay awake throughout.

But despite them watching around, they were unaware of a shadow gently crawling on the Great wall of the kingdom, coming right towards them.

But the main fact of life is that, when it comes to defeating mighty enemies. It begins with the understanding of having knowledge on how to know the greatest source of their weakest point.

Most especially, a soul's weakest point. And what comes as the weakest point to a soul, especially to those who hadn't had any sleep all day. Because they were so keen on their loyalty to serve their kingdom.

The strong guards kept on observing around, unaware of the shadow, creeping right towards them.

And within a second. The first guard at the left, suddenly gasped out, before falling right to the ground.

Jolting the other guard, who immediately snapped to look at his mate who had suddenly just gasped out.

Seeing his mate laying still on the cold ground, made him realise that an attack was nearby.

But before he could think.

The shadow appeared behind him, he heard a snap, and he also gasped out, before falling flat to the ground.

And the two mighty guards were down.

The shadow suddenly appeared again at the main entrance of the gate. Before it moved to enter.

And then, the shadow was in the castle.

Until suddenly, from the shadow, a young man appeared.

He gazed at the big castle, with a deep frown.

Before out of the blue, a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

And then, his features suddenly faded back into the shadows, making him become a shadow himself again.

Whereas, no one could see him.

And then he moved into the castle.

Inside the castle, the shadow kept on moving. Particularly searching for something.

And moving from one corners to the other. The shadow suddenly stopped at a particular place.

The place seemed to be a prison.

And guarding the prison gate, was another strong guard.

Then the shadow stood, while gently observing the guard with a devilish smirk on his face.

Because it seemed to be, that the strong and mighty guard right in front of it was facing his own battle. He was in a great fight between himself and his eyes.

They seemed not to be heading to him any longer, as they were about closing up. But he was doing his best to fight the urge.

So, the shadow suddenly crept through the walls, towards him.

And before the guard could blink, he felt something, and his eyes immediately closed shut. Before falling right to the ground.

Then the shadow opened the gate, and continued its search.

Until it finally stopped at a door, that had a window, which one could see the insides of the room.

The shadow passed through the door, before slowly penetrating into the room. But as it moved further inside, it suddenly bumped into something that stopped it from moving further.

The shadow stopped, as it stared.

Then raising it's hand that was also in form of a shadow. To feel what was stopping it from moving further into the room.

Until it felt something, some sort of wall, only it was invisible. And no one could ever penetrate it, it was a force field.

Then, the shadow moved back. And suddenly, the shadow faded again, appearing the young man.

The young man stood in front of the force field, staring at it. Before he lifted his right hand, covered with black glove.

Placing his palm gently on the force field, he closed his eyes, and calmly took in a breath. Before suddenly, the force field broke into black-coloured glass pieces and faded away as ashes.

And it seemed that slight sound awoke the tiny looking fairy sitting around a corner in the room.

The blue fairy turned. To find a young man standing, while smirking at it.

At first, confusion was clearly written on its face.

Until the young man suddenly spoke "long time no see buddy.."

Then a few seconds later of realization, the eyes of the blue fairy widened.

And not a second after, the blue fairy flew in speed towards the young man. Hugging his face.

"Remiel! I can't believe it's you!"

"I also can't believe the same" the young man smirked.

But the fairy continued surrounding him, as it flew in great joy of finally being free.

Then the young man walked out of the room. And faded into the shadows again, before calmly strolling out of the castle, with the blue fairy also flying beside it.

And they both soon got out of the castle, appearing at the gate of the kingdom where the two guards were still lying flat down. With the young man appearing out of the shadows again, he strolled away from the kingdom.

The blue fairy also then noticed the guards lying flat and asked with a laugh, while sitting on the young man's shoulder.

"You killed the royal guards?"

"They were in my way, it was quite annoying" the young man said with a shrug as he walked away from the kingdom.

The blue fairy grinned and a devilish smirk crept on the young man's face as well, as he went away into the mountains.

"Don't worry, they're not dead yet".

"They're just taking a nice nap".
