I always used to notice my shadow moving without me doing anything for it to move. Trick of the light I would tell myself, since the sun was very strong here in Candrid. That's what I always thought before 3 weeks ago. My village Daidril was under attack from an undead unit controlled by a looter necromancer. The necromancer was nowhere to be found but we could always destroy his unit. I picked up my sabre, not my weapon of choice but it would have to do.
Once I stepped outside half of my village was on fire, but I could tell that everyone else was up fighting. I ran to the nearest skeleton and it chopped at me with an axe. I dodged to the right and stabbed forward aiming for the heart. Necromancers always trapped their minion's souls inside the heart, so if you got to it they were finished. That skeleton dropped dead in the range of a Nano-second. I bent down and picked up its axe. I then turned and spotted a likely target. A shambling zombie who was about to eat a small girl. "Oh no you don't" I said throwing the axe. It struck right in the back of the head, the axe slicing clean into the brain like a Butcher on ham. It dropped to the side of the girl. "Thank you Lanza!" She screamed to me. I nodded while she ran away to her home.
I forgot to mention that my name is Lanza Ombra. This name means Spear Shadow. It's in an unknown language that my parents failed to tell me before they died. The last thing they told me was my name means spear shadow and I will have the power of the world.
I was about to go get another skeleton when something grabbed my foot. "Bruuugh" the zombie said pulling me down. Its head was basically cut in half but for some reason it was still moving, and quite fast. I fell down and it began crawling towards me. I shuffled backwards on my but until I hit a wall. So this will be my end huh? I thought to myself. I closed my eyes, ready for my demise. I stayed that way for 10 seconds but it felt like 10 hours. Aren't I supposed to be dead? I asked myself. I still heard all of the noise of my village fighting so I found the courage to open my eyes. Standing there was the darkest thing I have ever seen. It was shaped like me but its eyes were a very bright white and it was a bit taller. "Who are you?" I asked it. It replied "I am your shadow". It turned its back to me and impaled the zombie through the heart with a double sided Spear.
