I live in a world where there's always light from all directions. All walls, ceilings and floors are lit. There's only one area where shadows get to roam freely, the passage room. We go there when we turn 25 to determine our passage in life. Our shadows are in colours red, orange, gree, blue, and purple determining what rank you are. Purple is the highest, it's said though that those who are destined to rule have golden shadows, and that one day there will come an usurper whose shadow is black. They all assume it will be a man, little do they know I have already seen my shadow, and I will disrupt this system before they become aware. I am Shadow.
