The estate that is usually hustling and bustling, even into the night...it's silent.
My ears ring as the shadow man walks, me clutched in his arms. I wish he would leave me alone or at least let me go.
"You're probably wondering why it's so quiet." the man asked, and though the hallways are somewhat dimly lit, his face is hidden within shadows. "The answer is simple; I used my Silent Magick spell. It's a strange sort of invisibility; they can't see or hear me, and I can choose if I want to see or hear them. Which I don't, as I find peace in the silence."
I wanted to scream and hit him.
But instead, Shadow man continued on his walk, what looked like the spot of where his eyes should have been flicking from side to side.
He's making sure to dodge the people, I think to myself, as I try to flail my arms or legs to grab the attention of someone.
