Shadow left the kitchens and right down the hall, there stood a knight, waiting to strike.

He could feel the energy within. He smirked as he focused the magic on the knight.

"Not so fast..." He said, but his voice didn't sound normal...it was like an echo. Deep, cold and empty. This should be startling him, but surprisingly it different.

Maybe it's cause you already sound like a beast! Acalia said.

Shadow formed a crooked grin. "I AM a beast!"

Focus.

The knight tried to move, but was stunned as it looked up at Shadow. The blond boy snapped his fingers.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Back to the depths..."

The knight suddenly collapsed, the pieces of metal dropped to the floor with loud clunks.

He picked up the pace and scouted out the rest of the knights. He could shift, but the thing is, they were made of metal.

Shadow then walked down the halls and hunted for more. He could feel his internal body get cold, like he swallowed ice. He tried to ignore it, but he just couldn't hear the thought that maybe this was a bad idea.

What could I be doing though? He wondered to himself. He HAD to go through with this.

Shadow sighed from the cold. "I have to make this quick, Acalia." The ghost didn't reply.

He could change his form, but he had no clue if they would even have a scent. "Acalia, do they have a scent I can pick up on?"

Yeah, they have an earthy scent. She replied.

He changed himself into the black wolf and continued his mission. Surprisingly, the black pelt kept him warm from the cold he was suffering from underneath.
