Shadow

Author's Note

    Hey, guys :) I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that made it this far. I never would have thought an introvert sixteen-year-old girl like me could have come even this far. I've wanted to be an author ever since I started writing five years ago, and this is the first book I've ever sent out for public viewing. If I hadn't had such kind and supportive readers like you guys, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish Shadow. You helped me come out of my writer's shell. If someone would have told me a year ago that I would have twelve thousand reads and ranked up to #7 on Wattpad Adventure stories, I would have laughed and called the police because you would most likely be one drugs. But it happened, so thank you guys so much :) I loved writing this story and I'm so sad it's over, but now I'm going to go through and edit the. Entire. Thing. *cries a little* I have a lot of fixing up to do. Somehow, in the process of transferring chapter over from Google Docs, I forgot to put in a chapter. Whoops.

I guess I have some clearing up to do.

What was Solar Storm's real identity?

I had quite a few theories that Jadah or Sienna was Solar Storm, but I had never really planned an identity revelation for SS. I wanted Jadah and Sienna to kind of be the normality in Kiera's life that she could rely on to feel . . . well, normal :)

Is Phantom Cameron's dad?

No. I didn't plan that one either. Phantom is a father figure (not an ideal father figure, but one nonetheless XD) to Cameron, Kiera, and Cole, but not a father to anyone. Sorry :/

Is Kiera immortal now because of her healing powers?

No. Kiera can still die of old age. Also, if she gets a fatal wound that takes much too long to heal or is impossible to heal (like decapitation, though, I can't imagine Kiera getting herself into that situation . . . Actually, I can), those also would be hard to come back from.

How does Kiera's weakness to water work?

In the book, Kiera explains her theory as to why she thinks water is her weakness and it's because she was sitting in water whenever she felt scared, angry, and pained while getting her powers when she and her father were threatened. Every time she is in water and feels scared, angry, or pained, it hurts her to be in the water. If she isn't feeling those things, then it just takes her powers away. During the scene where Kiera and her father were getting robbed, she was just sitting in the water, so if the water is touching the outside of Kiera, then it has an effect. Going down her esophagus and spreading throughout her body doesn't have an effect on her, as every human being needs water.

The big question: Is there going to be a sequel?

I'm so sorry, but no. There will not be a sequel. BUT, dear friends, I've been tossing around a few spinoff ideas in my mind:

BLAZE: A spinoff about Cole when he got his powers when he was thirteen. This would mostly be about his days as an underground fighter with other Supers and how he adjusted to life as a Super.

GHOST: A spinoff about Phantom. I know the timeline is all screwed up and I don't think anyone really caught on, but Phantom was the retired Super named Ghost. Ever guess why he got kind of uncomfortable when Cameron called him that? Maybe because as Ghost, he used to work for the Agency with a woman named Rose, whom he fell in love with. She told him plenty of things he wasn't supposed to know, but he grew suspicious of the Agency and got Rose killed. Phantom and Rose were the two people in Lauren's story at the beginning of Shadow ;)

SUNNY (I dunno what to call this one yet, but I'll figure it out XD): A spinoff about Cameron in the future. This is the only one that I really think I'm going to write, so I'll just leave the summary at that ;)

RIPTIDE: A spinoff about Riptide and Lauren. Mostly about how they first met and how she discovered his identity and stuff ;)

These are just some ideas and they might not happen, but I want you guys to know this isn't the last you'll see of me ;) Thank you all again! I love you! -SHADOW OUT-
