In the quiet corners of the soul, where whispers fade into the dark, lies a world of hidden truths and veiled emotions. The Shadow’s Embraceis a collection of poems that delve into the mysteries we conceal—the words left unspoken, the wounds buried beneath smiles, and the love that lingers in silence. Each verse is a journey through light and shadow, where echoes of the heart dance between secrecy and revelation.
Let these pages hold the confessions of the unseen, the sorrows of the unheard, and the beauty found in the quiet embrace of the unknown.

A fanfic about Tokoyami, Dark Shadow, and Hawks from My Hero Academia.
------------------
With Tokoyami stressed about falling behind in studies, he retreats to somewhere quieter to focus.
But with Dark Shadow feeding off his worries, Tokoyami begins to wonder if he had made the right decision before his mentor, Hawks, shows up.

Nothing sexual. Just a nice story about Tokoyami, Dark Shadow, and Hawks.
This story was made as part of a contest in Penana about fanfictions.
I do not own this picture.
"Emmy, who did you say was taken by the Shadow?". "Oh, my mai... sister. My sister. May. That's her name". "Do you have any family left to go to?". She sat and thought about it awhile. "No. But I can't stay here". "Well, can I at least get to know you, Emmy?". "Ok..." She said wearily, "but only for a little bit". "So... how old are you?". "Sixteen thought my birthday is in a few weeks. What about you?". "Eighteen. My birthday was a few weeks ago". We went on like this for a while. Her favorite flowers are light purple lisianthus', her favorite color is Indigo, and she has no siblings. "Wait, I thought you said you have a sister?".Her eyes went wide then she said, "Had". "Oh, sorry...". "It's fine..."She looked like she was thinking hard about something. She looked up. Then she said,"I should tell you the truth".
This will be where I will be sharing short stories that center on a character that will, was or could be a main character of a future work. They all take place in Aphelia in one region or another. I will indicate who the character is that is the focus since at least three of my characters each have more than one short story that pieces into their own story. I hope viewers enjoy.
