Erina Nakiri – Shadows


A girl with a legacy.

A palate of the gods.

A tool of mankind.

.

She's never seen the sunlight –

.

– hasn't stepped out of the shadow called 'Nakiri'.

.

Of course not.

.

She is the shadow – a shadow that sits behind her grandfather's throne. She's only a palate of the gods – nothing more, nothing less.

.

But she meets someone.

A boy with hair like fire and eyes like the sun.

A boy who wants the crown.

The sun can't banish shadows, she says.

Oh, he replies, but shadows exist thanks to the sun.

.

They are two halves of a soul.
