Back again. So my last post ended with far more questions then I meant to leave. There is only so much time I can devote to spreading information. Though it is important that as many people know as possible.

The Shadowborn are the hybrid human children of Shadowbeings. Occasionally it can involve grandchildren and even more generations, but very rarely. Most of the energy the Shadowbeings contain and pass on are diluted from generation to generation. After the sons and daughters, the grandchildren are normally human.

As far as I can tell, I don't know if or how Shadowbeings have children with other Shadowbeings. The Shadowborn are human for the most part. They have some special powers. Much more specific than those of the Shadowbeings themselves.

There are 7 types. Some are pyro-kinetic. Some can teleport from shadow to shadow. A term stupidly yet universally referred to as 'shadowporting'. A few have wings. There are telepaths. Some can change their appearance to look like anyone whose shadow they have crossed. I and others like me can create Shadowcreatures, tiny little living things made of shadows. Like small versions of Shadowbeasts, but that's a different topic. And one other, but it's strange. It isn't like the rest, the last power. There is only ever one person with this power at any one time, as far as my research goes. The user is known as 'The Queen of Shadows'. Historically, I think it's always been a girl. I'm not exactly sure what she can do. Everything in the literature is vague. Some old Japanese texts said something along the lines of "She sees all that is dark, and remembers all that was once touched by Shadows. She binds the dark to her will and they are her creation". Better find out what that means.

Hello dear reader. I'm glad to be back. Luckily, I survived my last... ordeal... with the shadows, and am now safe in a shadowy basement somewhere in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, that is all I can say. Don't want to give away my location any quicker than necessary.

So, I promised more information. And I always fulfill my promises.

There are a set of creatures that run the world. Called Shadowbeings. And they have successfully ensconced themselves in every aspect of modern society. They have unknown control of international corporations and government agencies. They don't belong to any nation. They are a global oligarchy unto themselves. The NSA has nothing on their sphere of influence.

I'm not sure how they came into existence. Humans as a species are much older than them, and I believe they first came into existence with the advent of human society. Unfortunately, they don't leave a corpse when they die and they try to stay in the dark of human society, so archeological evidence is lacking.

They are basically sentient, solid shadows. Sunlight damages, though rarely kills, them and they walk unseen at night. They have the ability to take the form of any human whose shadow they have touched. And there are a smattering of other powers they have, without really any order or classification. Some can heal, some can control the weather, some are telekinetic. And there are thousands, even tens of thousands of them, across the planet.

I have devoted my life to destroying them, for a personal matter that I will not mention now.

Anyway, the Shadowbeings can have children, called Shadowborn. And that is what I am. And we have powers too. I have to leave now, and continue my research. I will be back later.

With Love,

I don't have a lot of time. They're coming, but that's not important right now. I'll be gone in an instant and they won't be able to find me again for who knows how long. I might be safe for weeks or even months in some new place.

I don't have a lot to say right now. Or I guess... There is so much to say, but I just can't put it in words right now. I just want to say I'm sorry. For everything. God I've made so many mistakes. I can only pray for forgiveness and hope that what I did was worth it. Was worth everything.

I'll explain more next time, but for now, let me just warn you. They are watching. The shadows. Not all of them. Very few of them. But some of them are. And they know you're reading this right now. And they're taking note. This isn't a horror story. It's definitely not a joke, some fantasy game. This is something big. It's happening and it's been happening. I don't mean to scare you, but you should be careful. And I intend to stop it once and for all. Until next time dear reader.

-Love, Saint Darkheart
