Shadow towered over Yugi by about a foot. Even while the boy was in front of her, the genie stood before him, overshadowing him, while expressing a very passive expression upon her features; nowhere near menacing or threatening. "You're standing within the device of my creation, Yugi. My life-source", she began before placing her hand over her heart. "The Millenium Puzzle is keeping me alive; it's my heart, and my home. As long as I am alive, so are they", she gestured to the moving shadows. 

"To humans, they would be known as shadows, but to me, they are more than just figures on the ground", as if on cue, Yugi's casted-shadow moved on its own, blinking its eyes at him. "They are [i]me[/i]; the negative aspect of one's own individual. Like this one, every Shadow has a host. You're [i]its[/i] host; it's a part of you", the genie continued. "I would be considered as their queen. I command them, talk to them, sense them; even steal them. However, if such control is misused, there can be distatrous effects."
