Darkness (L1quid)

*(Not to be confused with* Darkness *of* The Dragon Prince*.)*

***Darkness*** is a book in *Archai*, and is the *Dragon Prince* adaptation of the book of the same name in L1quid's *Archai* series. The perspective is unknown.

The book gains its name from the Archaian Dark Primal in the original source (not *The Dragon Prince*'s Xadian Dark Magic), which is associated with evil, destruction, secrets, deceit, manipulation, and death.

## Notes

On 10/06/2023, L1quid decided to put a hold on *Archai* (and its *Wings of Fire* adaptation) to focus on *These Alien Dragons* (and its *Wings of Fire* adaptation). (They are currently working on book 2 of the series and some side stories that will explore more of the series world.) They will work on the series from time to time, if they have writer's block.
