Shirou Sakai and Akaza Sato. The world of Stormcrash's self-proclaimed current best Pyrokinesis users.. at least in their age group. They are the dawn and dusk, a poet and soldier, a blade and shield. In everything, they always work together, inseparable.
Not even the countless threats in the form of Ulv'djevler, the beastly canine-like monsters who take the form of shadows, can take them down.
Well, for the most part, it was all until that day. Everything then becomes a struggle between the unfortunate two, as one tries to repair their relations, and the other tries to cut them off, all in the midst of evil approaching.. in the form of another human.

have any questions about the story's canon universe? Just ask me in the comments, my profile wall, or in my direct messages.
no author notes are in the chapters at all so you won't be bothered by them while reading. every chapter in this book is nothing more than that, a chapter waiting to be discovered.
and a neat little fact, I started writing this story on February 6, 2024. comments and upvotes are appreciated, pretty much just interaction with this book in general is appreciated. don't be afraid to interact, silent readers are nice and all but those who reach out are cool.
Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four.
*****
Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond.
