Bab 406: Shadows

"Yes, yes. Then what happened after you were caught?" Arabella could bear such smugness since she knew he was, indeed, very much capable.

It was then that I learned she was Evania, the only princess of the shadows," Alwin revealed.

Alwin explained that Evania was among the long-lived races they called Shadows. Once they mature, shadows can live without the need for a physical body.

A physical body becomes their weakness so there were those who gave up their body after some time and lived completely in their shadow form.
