Shining so Bright
Prologue: Shadow of Devils.
The dim veil of her breath ventured from her mouth and over the pillow leaving a trail of thin moist. The lone candle that flickered on the bedside table moved disturbed by the exhaled and shadows began dancing on the walls, floor and ceiling. Then as the flame settled the room became calm once again and the young lady rested in her bed clutching the pillow with one hand and her tangled blond hair resting against the sheet. Her face was peaceful, complete with thin eyebrows and lips plump, pink and rubbed against each others as she snuggled closer to the pillow and deeper into sleep.
The room itself was plain, a high window close to the bed along the right wall. A small table with two chairs and a oak wardrobe and beside it stood a chest ornamented with the regalia of many old kingdoms to whom her parents where the descendants.
A second strong exhale escaped the sleeping beauties mouth and disturbed the candle leaving shadows to dance over the walls, ceiling and floor, but when and all other shadows where motionless one still moved, a shadow that walked out from behind the wardrobe and remained flat against the wall as it regarded the lady sleeping in the bed. Then the shadow steps out from the wall and gains presence in the room. The flowing dark garb that covered the body and a hood covering a face present only as a mirage of contours carved into darkness.
With slow, silent steps the creature walks towards the bed while two arms releases themselves from the body and with the dark garb hanging from them they where brought to rest over the sleeping woman and without disturbing her sleep stole her from the chamber and left the bed empty.
Then with her task complete the creature turned towards the candle and with a gust of magic extinguished the flame.
