The Awakening

Now that L'ac was able to see the shadow, she felt a surge of unfamiliar power coursing through her veins—an intoxicating rush that promised boundless possibilities. Eager to understand and control this new force, she headed to the training grounds.

L'ac extended her hand, focusing her will on the dormant energies within her. To her amazement, shadows coiled around her arm like living tendrils, responding to her unspoken commands. With a swift motion, she directed the shadows towards the dummy. The impact was explosive—shards of the wooden figure scattered in all directions, leaving a smoldering silhouette where it once stood.

Flushed with success, L'ac pushed her limits, moving from one dummy to the next, each strike more powerful than the last. Her abilities were diverse: she could manipulate shadows to shield herself, conjure a sword from the dark, or even meld into darkness, disappearing momentarily and reappearing through a short-distance portal.
