Shade moved swiftly across the city with a deeply worried expression etched on his face. He leaped high into the air and expanded his shadows into dozens of gigantic hands, carefully catching several people who were still hiding instead of fleeing the chaos. Children, the elderly, and those with nowhere else to go, such as homeless individuals trying to hide underground, were all gathered by his shadows. He quickly pulled them into safety.
"Sorry about this, but I have to be rough. Please do not resent me."
As the people ran desperately from the rampaging monsters, many fell into the Shadow Traps Shade had previously set to catch enemies. Terrified beyond measure, they screamed as they plunged into what seemed like an endless abyss. Yet instead of death, they found themselves floating gently in complete darkness, surrounded by dozens of other frightened civilians.
"W-Where am I?"
"What happened?"
"W-Weren't we just in the city?"
"Is this some trap set by the monsters?!"
