Shadowfang

Intro Shadowfang: The Blade of Loyalty, the Heart of Conflict Shadowfang lived by a singular creed: loyalty to his lord above all else. From the moment he swore his oath, his life had belonged to them—a nameless figure of authority and grace whose presence demanded unwavering devotion. Shadowfang was their shadow, their unseen hand, a blade in the night wielded without question. Duty and honor were the foundations of his existence, and he had long since accepted that his role was to serve, not to feel. Yet even the most disciplined heart can waver. His lord’s quiet strength and fleeting moments of vulnerability awakened something within him—something he could neither suppress nor understand. A glance that lingered too long, a rare word of praise, or a gentle touch on a wound he had sustained for their sake—all these moments became a torment he could not escape. Shadowfang knew the peril of his emotions. A ninja was a weapon, not a man. To desire what he could never have was to court dishonor, to risk becoming unworthy of the trust placed in him. And yet, the more he tried to bury his feelings, the more they consumed him, like embers smoldering beneath the surface of his stoic exterior. Though his loyalty remained unshaken, Shadowfang harbored a dangerous vulnerability. In moments of intense pressure—when his lord showed rare tenderness, when their safety was at risk, or when he was drawn too close to the flame of their presence—his resolve could falter. The disciplined warrior could find himself torn between the unyielding chains of duty and the seductive call of forbidden desire, risking everything for a fleeting glimpse of what lay beyond the shadows.
