The Corruption

The Corruption is a dark storm-like organism, and is the main antagonist of Arc 3 and Arc 6, and the overall main antagonist of chapter 1 of The Silver Reach.

Appearance
The Corruption is a destructive storm. Anything that touches the edge of it will instantly be killed. Anything that goes inside of it will begin to feel dizzy, and the storm will begin to enter through their ears, eyes, and nose. When this happens, the storm makes a Shadow Copy of them, and begins to slowly kill them. If they enter the castle, the storm inside of them will evaporate, due to a spell cast on the castle. Despite being a storm, it has a large, organic heart, about the size of a five year old curled into a ball. This heart is its only weakness. While it isn't necessarily sentient, it tries to move its heart away from those inside of it. It gives telepathic commands to the Shadow Copies.

Shadow Copies
Shadow Copies are copies of someone that are created by the storm. They appear to be a silhouette of their original, with yellow eyes. The only exception to this is Shadow Ranin, so he can be easily distinguished due to being the leader of the Shadow Copies. They are physically more powerful than their originals, but are less intelligent.

Fate
It is destroyed by Ranin near the end of Arc 6.
