Introduction
According to the Inheritance Cycle Wiki, shades are born from a mishap of magic, spirits, and possession of a host. Shades allude to shadows. According to "Christopher Paolini, it was nearly impossible for a Shade to be good because of the inevitably evil nature of the spirit." The story even says that only evil spirits would take the opportunity to become a shade.
But as I found, their are loopholes in these statements. If you think about it, the stories never really mention anything about unwilling spirits forced into becoming a shade, or even an extended clear explanation on the nature of spirits.
It is generally left untouched, and for some, something to speculate about. Sadly, I am one of them, and took advantage to it.
I could be wrong...or I could be right. Only what we inherit from the stories will tell.

Hi! I was sort of bored when I wrote this. If anything seems out of character, I apologies about that. I enjoy writing character development, but stories and trying to be in person for characters that aren't mine are a bit tricky for me. I noticed there are not a lot of shade fics with a Shade besides Durza at its center, so I wanted to add something I hope is good and a little different.
I drew a bit of inspiration from analytical fics that examined the story and found several flaws.
To those who wrote those fanfictions, thank you for opening my eyes to a new opportunity for something else. They were actually really interesting. I might make a few characters punching bags on the occasion, just a warning for a few.
Because seriously, Arya may seem beautiful in Eragon's eyes...but I was offended by a certain comment she made in the first story. I wasn't to keen on it as Angela was a strong female character, and one of my favorites, so I took some offence to it.
Anyways I hope you enjoy this. Don't burn me too much...it's been a while since I posted anything. I may not be consistent when writing this, so I will settle for writing short stories in to particular order. This is also a fanfiction, so don't take it so seriously.
