World of Warcraft
The Carana Chronicles
Ark II
Ruler of the Frostmourne
Chapter VII
The Lich King
Carana gulped again as the Lich King stood above him, silent and aparently unnoticing. The Lich King then looked down, and noticed Carana.
"Move out of my way or I will kill you." The Lich King growled, his voice gravely.
"No." Carana answered.
"You will pay for your treason!" The Lich King roared, attacking with the Frostmourne in a downward slash. Carana brought up his staff, and blocked the attack. Shoving back the Lich King, he groaned as his muscles ached.
The Lich King roared again, and brought his helmet down, and charged Carana, meaning to ram him with the crowns spikes. But Carana lept up, and grabbed ahold of one of the spikes. "Going down?" He snickered, and wrenched the Lich King off his feet. But the Lich King had expected this, rolling and throwing Carana off of him.
Carana fell back ten meters, crashing into a statue of a lion. He groaned, and struggled upward as the Lich King went onward. Groaning, Carana bounded forward cutting off the Lich King. Finding a discarded sword and pulled it up between him and the Lich King. The Lich King groaned, and lunged at Carana, pushing him away.
Carana fell to the ground, but he rolled, and raised his hand. A bolt of pure shadow jumped out of his hand, and sped toward the Lich King, blasting his armor in the back. He turned, and intoned, "Freeze."
Ice crept up Carana, and as the ice came over his entire body, the horizon glinted gold, and his body began to try to generate heat. Trying out a new spell he yelled, "Dumanare, kalbadore.” He heard someone cry in a metallic voice, "No!" And the world was gone, replaced with red and yellow. Then he saw no more.

Actually, Phil here not Yvette.

Anyway, "A bolt of pure shadow ..." is a really good way to get your brain thinking. What would a bolt of pure shadow be? It is not darkness, where all is black. It is not fog. It is shadow, hmmmm.
