Chapter 22

"Cut the crap Alaric and tell me what you truly want before I kick you out of this place"

"It's a good thing that you still have some brains in that head of yours. I, playing the pitiful part is definitely not like me at all"

"Two minutes. All I'm giving you is two minutes before I kick your sorry ass out"

"Fine then. I know about the shadows that you've been seeing for most of your life"

That statement caught me off guard. Why would he talk about the shadows. Nobody ever believed me

"What shadows"

"Don't play dumb Solace, you know what I'm talking about"

"What about them"

"Rumors from above have it that the shadows cannot hurt you"

That made me laugh.

"And who told you that insane lie"

"You breathing is proof enough. Nobody has ever survived more than a week after encountering the shadows yet here you are alive and kicking. I also know that the shadows low key help you fight"
