@reneescatts.bsky.social@reneescatts.bsky.socialDemons are the guardians of the Shadow World.
They sense fear, never sleep and adapt quickly. If one enters the physical world, it sees everyone—including its summoner—as a threat.
Once it claims a territory, the hunt begins.
@reneescatts.bsky.social🌙 A piece of Shadow Stalker lore:
The Black Lake is sacred to shadow stalkers.
Its water is poisonous to everyone else.
Those who survive drinking it often return changed.
Most refuse to explain how.

@reneescatts.bsky.social📖 From Shadow Stalker Part 1 (Episodes 1 - 6):
“Reality is an illusion we create to convince ourselves nothing will ever change.”
Auren learns very quickly just how wrong that assumption can be.

@reneescatts.bsky.socialThree things Kado would never admit:
• He was terrified of failing Auren.
• Auren changed him.
• He loved her as his own daughter.
Some characters say exactly what they feel.
Kado is not one of those characters.
@reneescatts.bsky.socialExcerpt from Shadow Stalker
There was a loud roar.
“Demon! Run!” the other replied.
“What’s a demon?” Deakan whispered in my ear.
I shrugged, then realised he couldn’t see me in the dark. “I don’t know...”

@reneescatts.bsky.socialWhat's one of the most unusual laws in the Shadow Stalker world?
Shadow stalkers aren't allowed to choose their own mates. The shadow people choose their partners.
Could you live under a law like that?

@reneescatts.bsky.socialCharacters' Greatest Flaws
In my Shadow Stalker serial: Kado’s greatest flaw is his overprotectiveness, driven by unresolved guilt and fear of loss.
What are some of your characters' greatest flaws?
