Seeing that he was, she dissolved with a sigh. Shadows danced across the floor, little tendrils grabbing Lerac and dragging him down down down. He found himself in a strange misty world. The Shadow Realm. Dozens of figures hung suspended in the air by Shadows. The nearest one was Wynn, limp and seemingly lifeless. A Shadowy figure stood next to him, formless, but clearly Wynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how the Shadow Realm interacts with it's users. Wynn said in an murmuring voice. Those other poor souls are people who've been ensnared- trapped here for eternity unless someone kills the one who sent them here. You are here as an observer only, so you should be immune to the worst of the effects.

Don't be worried- the process of merging is the most dangerous part, and I've already done that. I had... divine assistance. That's me you see up there, but I'm manipulating the Shadows so I can talk to you. Now pay attention. Lerac was hit with a wave of emotion, scrambled and chaotic. It was hard to make anything of it, but there was a startling lack of hate. Wynn only hated one thing. Malum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
