The Shadow-shifter

Photos for illustration purposes only 
The Shadow -shifter was a creature which was mentioned in Heracles first book: Heracles and the lion from Nemea - Hippocoon land. 
It was decribled as like a dark shadow which didnt have specific shape, could turned big, small or something turned in strange shapes. It could move very fast on ground and teleport people or creatures to nearby places. According to what were written in the book, the Shadow -shifter moved people to a tunnel under ground by the way swallowed them that honestly threatened all people there, They turned sacred then screamed, yelled and even cried. Avery was a person who did cried when half of his lower body was swallowed that was also the reason he was ridiculed by Hank after he came to Hippocoon land. And also because of it Heracles spoke out to protect and became his friend after that. 
After people was swallowed they would fall into a spiral narrow tubes, sliding down for a while then fell out from a hole appeared in the wall of an tunnel where they met the ground dragon Grogon and their guider who brought them to Hippocoon land after that.
Both the dragon Grogon and the Shadow -shifter came from the underworld and exactly Tartarus. They were creatures not allowed to leave the place but because they accepted to served, bring the chosen people to Hippocoon land so they was allowed to leave the place. However, it didn't mean they were allowed to appear in fron of normal people, having to keep staying underground avoiding normal's eyes.
Though people rarely saw it but the Shadow -shifter could smile. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda saw it smiled at the first time they met. There had only thing they can for sure that whether it could speak or not. The Shadow -shifter was always in silent.
People believed that the Shadow -shifter was gentle creature because they had never seen it harmed anyone But ... is it true?

In the center, towering above all others, stood the grandest throne of all. Crafted of gold-veined marble and adorned with radiant gems, it pulsed with a warm, awe-inspiring light.

"Heracles, my son." The voice rang like thunder across the mountains, like wind echoing through time. Heracles stood frozen, unable to speak. "Darkness stirs. The world you know will soon fall into chaos. The ancient balance teeters, and a great war is coming—one that shall shake the heavens ...
