278) A shadow that shines

[A forceful alteration has been made to the martial art that is currently being learned!]

[Shade has experienced enlightenment!]

[Shade understands what his purpose is. Shade understands the truth about being a guardian. Shade understands the meaning and importance of protecting those he cherished]

[Shade is no longer bound to any other being. He has only one Lord and Master and that being is dubbed to be You.]

'Is it referring to Nyx?'

[Awakened as your Guardian, Shade has learned the importance of protecting himself as well as you]

["Strength isn't given to those who have nothing to protect. Be it dreams, insecurities, or someone or something"]

There was indeed truth behind that. While up for debate, the statement itself held value. Be it Heroes or Villains, weren't they all protecting something? If not superficially, at a layer that dominates their personality.
