Shadows are beings than hunt and kill, ripping through people's lives in a desperate attempt to escape. They never surrender, never turn and flee, never cry out for mercy. They fight till the last breath has left their body and even then go on, driven by forces of darkness and evil, feeding on our fear and leaping onto our backs once their fill has been taken.
But beyond their presence in the dark they are nothing; being unable to exist where the sun shines or where the torch's beam explores.
Shattered is the hope of plenty for shadows know nothing but take and the world can't exist without shadows. Good without evil is pointless, a mere lie or reconciliation that does not know true beauty, only death.
