Hi! I am Shade, the Element of Darkness. I come to endarken you and take you with me into the shadowy depths of my writings... enjoy! Nowadays, Shade-Duelist is also rediscovering her horrible talent as an artist on DeviantArt. If you wish to see the fruits of her pencils, go check over there.

My first story, Mirror of Souls, is set in the world of SD3, and is written by me and my faithful minion, Duran the Gladiator. What if our world were linked to theirs? What if one of us must be chosen to do battle there in order to save us all? What if... one soul were to be more than just ONE being...? Note: this story may be discontinued due to lack of response!

My second story, Reach for the stars, is a short and once-in-a-lifetime Civilization story about the space race victory. Thoughts on space, and a wink here and there to what is supposed to happen on the space ship. Warning: though Alpha Centauri is said to follow the space race victory in Civilization, I will NOT use its storyline anywhere! (I do have some wordplays that might sound familiar to those who have played AC...)

The third story, Things you do not wish to..., is based on Alpha Centauri. A love started on one planet and blossoming on another, and in the meantime much confusion and sadness... Doctor Deirdre Skye and professor Prokhor Zakharov have made each other's acquaintance during the mission, and the professor finds himself attracted to his young and optimistic new friend, but - as it is so often said - 'the course of true love never did run smooth'...

A fourth story, The Bound trilogy, is set in the world of Lufia. A lonely young woman and a fighter of a desert kingdom cross paths again - someone or something seems to be bent on their staying together. A heart that was broken will always have scars, but will it still hurt? ...wait and see...

The fifth story, All's fair in love and war, takes place in the fascinating world of Neverwinter Nights 2 - a Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms setting. Calenna Signe is Knight-Captain of Crossroad Keep and gets confronted with both her duties to Neverwinter, her fate to save the world, and her heart... in the form of a dark-haired paladin. Sometimes, the heart is more important than anything else... but can love even grow when darkness is so close by and destructive?

And finally, something non-game, a sixth story taking place in the universe of Dragon Ball Z: Keep your distance. When Trunks broke her heart, she swore she would never return. When events forces her to return, she finds herself once again confronted with him - and he is totally enticed with her. But when a visitor from the future shows up that same day, what will happen? Will Trunks break her yet again or is she too strong to be broken? And will Trunks come out whole himself?
