CHAPTER 1 – The Darkness Inside –
“Shadow sped up on the highland. He was running really fast, as only a creature of magic could. He was chasing and looking for someone. He was worried, overwhelmed, energetic. He carried heavy feelings. He wasn’t just a shadow, but he had a direct link to Ben…
” It was like being inside Ben’s skin, knowing his thoughts, his feelings of joy, of fear. They were one and the same. And right now, Shadow knew how Ben felt. But this was confusing, demanding, even scary for him. Shadow was just getting used to his individuality and freedom. All these thoughts, emotions, ways of thinking, ways of perceiving the world. All this was new to him, because, before the magic, Ben did everything for him…
“He was just his shadow before, and that was it. The magic was growing now, and he loved it. But right now, he wasn’t happy. Not at all. He was feeling the pain Ben felt. And as he stopped at the top of the hill, he became aware of this psychological and emotional pain. He fell on his knees and shrank on the ground. He rolled over a few times on the short grass underneath him…
“He had never experienced this pain, which wasn’t that terrible really; however, he was like a little kid experiencing deep anger, impotence, and frustration for the first time. “Oh, the agony. What is this?? Stop this Ben. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!,” he muttered to himself…
“He held his chest tightly and rolled around while moaning upsettingly. He was getting acquainted with the pain he felt. He knew that this was what all sentient beings felt, that this was “normal” for them. But he still didn’t want it…
“The sun was directly on him. The skies were clear. Fresh winds blew from the east. Now Adit stood above him, and with his rooted feet stopped him from his childish caper. He glared at him while covering the sun. “What are you doing…?? I thought you were looking for him,” he said.
