Shadowman of the forest used one hand to free the other from Arin's grasp. It then began to wrap both its arms around him in an attempt to pull him towards the tree it was standing by earlier.

Arin wasn't about to let this thing stop him from getting to his girlfriend. He grabbed both its arms and tried push them off to no avail. He had find a way to get this thing to let him go without getting upset. "I have someone very important to me that I need to find so I'd appreciate it if you'd let me go." He looked at the shadow.

It seemed this shadow could actually speak. "No can do." Shadowman tightened its grip on Arin's waist.

Arin glared angrily at the shadow once he heard its response. He still had his own hands on Shadowman's arms and attempted to push them off again with a little more effort. "Don't cross me."

After getting a confirmation from Diana, he opened up his spellbook and flipped through the pages until he found the right spell. After muttering the words, a shadow copy of himself appeared right next to him. He closed the book before turning to it. "I need you to go out and see how those shadows I summoned are doing." The copy listened to Hunter's request and nodded before setting off on its mission.
