The Nine Knights of Creation: Research Notes: Shadows
Part of a short novel I've been working on (It's still being edited & Written)
The Knight of Darkness made a race known as The Shadow Khan. They are his people, a race of humanoid people made of pure darkness and shadow. At birth, they have a tail, but to single out the true warriors from the weak, the changes can be noticed when a Shadow Khan hits puberty. If he has not learned to use it like a warrior, then the tail drops off and disintegrates into the darkness. They live in a realm made by The Knight of Darkness called the Dark Realm, a realm of pure shadow where the only light is that of Shadow Fire. The Shadow Khan were made for many purposes; one was to make guardians for the realms of Darkness, and another was for The Knight of Darkness to have a people of his own that would never betray him. He succeeded in his goal and made them the most intelligent race in existence and the strongest, and they can only be matched by his brother's Angels. When a Shadow Khan gets their dagger, they have full control of their powers and potential.
