StoryGREMLIN2
In this world, every person is born with a Shadow-a visible soul that exists separately from the body. Taking the form of an animal, Shadows think, speak, and feel independently while remaining deeply connected to their human counterpart. Though they can disagree, argue, and develop their own personalities, a Shadow and their person share the same life force, forever bound together by a connection that cannot be broken.
When Reiven awakens alone in a forest with bloodied hands, missing memories, and only their Shadow, Charlemagne, at their side, they have no idea who they are or what happened to them. Fragments of the past haunt them like ghosts, appearing in flashes that refuse to form a complete picture.
As Reiven searches for answers, they begin uncovering memories long buried-memories of people they once knew, places they once called home, and events someone desperately wanted forgotten.
Among those memories lies a darker mystery.
For years, children from Grey Hold have vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances. Families have mourned, rumours have spread, and official explanations have never quite satisfied those left behind. What began as isolated disappearances slowly formed a pattern hidden beneath decades of silence.
The deeper Reiven delves into their lost past, the closer they come to uncovering the truth behind the missing children, the secrets concealed within Grey Hold, and the reason their own memories were taken in the first place.
Some memories were lost.
Others were hidden.
And some were never meant to be found at all.
