Light, darkness, and nothingness…
If one had to list the three hardest elements to shadow, these three would take the top spots. Light was difficult to master because a shadow reshaping itself into radiance was somewhat paradoxical, having become its own source. True darkness, meanwhile, was by far the hardest — it was, after all, the opposite of both shadows and light.
And nothingness… nothingness was antithetical to all elements, so shadowing it was meant to be impossible.
Nevertheless, the Mad Prince effortlessly reshaped himself into beings that wielded all three of these elements — and at the same time, no less, each manifested through an independent incarnation.
Shadow was not sure that he was capable of doing the same.
Blinded and weakened, robbed of all senses and assaulted by nothingness, he felt a peculiar emotion for a brief moment.
It was shame.
'Was that madman right?'
