[h2][color=662d91]Shadowy Figure[/color][/h2] [b]Location:[/b] Either the Magic Council's Aquifer Cavern or collapsing underground building (not sure which one). A hysterical laughter could be heard from what seemed to come from exactly behind Maddox. [color=662d91]"Ever heard those stories of little kids afraid of their own shadow when they first discover it."[/color] On Maddox's back, a strange presence could be felt creeping out from his back. When Maddox turned and checked what it was, the shadowy figure from before was standing right in front of him. [color=662d91]"Oh. I do not know what you are capable of, but you do not know what I am either."[/color] The shadowy figure said as it mimicked what Maddox said earlier with a whiny voice and gave his mad laugh again. [color=662d91]"Well, I say you demonstrated what you were capable of just a few seconds ago. Oh, you might be wondering how I'm here and not there."[/color] The shadow moved his hand to his mouth as if trying resist his laugh from earlier and from what it looked like, gave himself a facepalm and pointed at Maddox. [color=662d91]"Look, the moment that I walked through you, I attached myself on your back and replaced where your shadow would be with me there instead. What you tried trapping earlier was just a remnant of what I left behind when I replaced your shadow."[/color] [color=662d91]"I was going to just ignore you."[/color] He said as his human form changed to a dark silhouette of Maddox. [color=662d91]"But you obviously would like to challenge me. And oh, do I like myself a good challenge."[/color] The silhouette said as it walked towards Maddox with its arms turned into giant blade like claws and darted for his attack. "All of you wizards. Are weak, weak and pathetic!" [h2][color=0054a6]Grane[/color][/h2] [b]Location:[/b] Magic Council's Surface Building >>> Maddox [color=0072bc]"I don't have time to just stand here being weak boy."[/color] He said as he looked at James. However, he was still unsure about what else to do seeing as most people were already being evacuated. But at some point, a pillar of light shot out from the ground and into the sky. [color=0054a6]"Perhaps somewhere there."[/color] muttered to himself and teleported away. Grane soon found himself away from Maddox, but close enough to see him. To his dismay, he saw the man he sealed away a year ago was about strike Maddox, who seemed exhausted from the magic that he just used. The shadow was close to slashing Maddox apart, but was stopped by Grane who teleported in front of Maddox with a body that was completely lit up with a blinding white light that pushed the shadow back. [color=0054a6]"I expected more from you boy, but just try to copy me and shield your body with nothing but light."[/color] The dragon man drew his battle stance preparing for anything else to happen and hoped he had enough strength left. [color=0054a6]"The games end here Shutler!"[/color]
