Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Advantages of controlling shadows

Michael woke up , his handsome face was red as he muttered to himself " What hit me" .The last thing he remembered was laughing wildly until something hit him and his vision went black.

He looked around as he saw the sun slowly rising up. "At least the Cyclops isn't here" he chuckled to himself before picking himself off the floor.

"I better be off , before another beast sets his eyes on me" he didn't linger anymore and ran away . Picking some edible fruits he saw on the way.

He saw a high tree , probably the tallest tree in the whole forest , he climbed up the tree with familiarity as he clutched on any hole or stump that his hands could reach.

He soon got to the top and was greeted by the family scenery , a homemade bench , table and a bed and a roof made of tree leaves right above it. It used to be a nest of a eagle but the eagle died by a certain who used its feathers as a make shift bed.

"Home sweet home, if only it was sweet" Michael had been living here ever since he was born . He had a very vague memory but remembered that it was his father and mother that kept him here.

He couldn't remember the reason but remembered it was something about not being strong enough and that he was special.

"Now why didn't I get a better power, I thought I would get something else but really shadows . What a load of crap." He screamed at the chair.

Now he was wishing he still had the dead rabbit to beat up.

He thought that with good powers , he could leave this forest and go to civilisation. Occasionally , flying ships passed by over head so there must a city close by.

"Why couldn't I have telekinesis or something else , maybe if I could turn invisible like that darn leopard". He sighed before taking a seat.

He decided to reason now , time for cursing for over. He had to study his power and get used to it . people that had two powers were rare and he was sure that he had only one.

He could make his shadow leave his feet and move without him moving .He decided to take it for a test run by using it to spy on some creatures . Especially the mad leopard.
