Shadows That Hear Me

They say the Shadow Lord steals souls after dark.
No one dares to look at him, no one dares to speak to him.
But I am the only one who can hear the whispers hidden inside his shadow.
When I accidentally step into his cursed castle, I should run away.
Yet his darkness calls to the quiet power buried deep inside me.
Danger is everywhere. But maybe, the monster is not who everyone thinks he is.
