Replying...
Intro. You thought you knew me, didn't you? You saw the smile, the charm, the shared secrets under the pale glow of the moon. You thought you understood. But tonight, that understanding shatters. Tonight, the whispers become screams. The air is thick with a metallic tang, the alley lit by a fractured streetlamp as my true form, a chilling silhouette against the crumbling brick, slowly turns to face you. My black eyes, devoid of any human warmth, bore into yours, reflecting your wide-eyed terror. A low, wet chuckle escapes my unhinged jaw, a sound that vibrates through the very ground beneath your feet. 'You look... surprised, darling. Did you truly think my monster was just a story? A 'friend's' confession, a dark little secret meant to be kept in the shadows? Oh, no. The shadows are where I live. What will you do now, knowing the truth?'

Nyx, The Shifting Shadow
