The shadow pulsated full of power, and a dark fog surrounded the prince. He inhaled it deeply and wetted his lungs with its pale aura.

“Rest now. Everything we have planned over the years will soon change that world. Without the book they will not be able to stop it,” whispered the dark voice.

“But what if they have already learned of it? They know more than you believe,” the prince asked, and immediately the shadows formed a noose around his neck.

The woman, who stepped out of the shadows, stood before the prince, and put her hand on his cheek.

“They know nothing! And now sleep, my son,” she said gently, and loosened the grip of the shadows.

“As you command, mother,” whispered the prince and closed his eyes.

  

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Maximilian Warden and I was born on the 25th of October 1989 in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. My interest in philosophy and the writing and telling of stories lead me to read many books. Especially the works of Oscar Wilde and Friedrich Nietzsche inspired me to write my own. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
