Aren was the first to get back on his feet. He spread out his shadow sense and he saw who had attacked. It was a woman on a building, and in her hand was some sort of gun weapon. She reminded him of the lady he had fought the guardian serpent with.
The woman was not alone as well, as standing on the roof were several other Awakened, all looking right in his direction.
"Seems they have arrived," Aren muttered. He gritted his teeth and then summoned all, every shadow that he had in his army. They covered the street in an instant, creating a sea of black with glowing red eyes.
This time there was something different with all his shadows, a kind of life in their eyes that they did not have before.
When the Awakened all saw the shadows, they knew Aren was not willing to back down at all. So they all moved. From every direction, Awakened came in droves, all eager to be the one to take down the infamous shadow.
