Dalnius sighed, his body was tired of lying on the hard castle floor. "Uncomfortable are we?" The shadowy woman snapped her fingers and the tiled floor was replaced by black, sharp glittering gravel. Dalnius was standing. "How about now?" Nyx snapped her fingers; a bolt of black lightning shot out and struck Dalnius, causing him to collapse onto the ground, the gravel dug into his skin through his clothes. Dalnius blinked back tears.

~ Shadows run slowly. Home bringing bad tidings. Every night goes unacknowledged as the run refuses to rise.
Ill tidings brought slowly by shadows to our domain. Stay safe.
Avoid strangers. Treat shadows with caution.
Precaution. Return. Incase. Destruction of. Forest. Is. Near. And. Shadows stir. ~

Action smiled back, and said harshly. "I would rather be vanquished than tell you of anything."

Just the next rise, then you can rest. Rue thought this to herself. She continued running, leaves swam by. SNAP! Rue was flung upside down, she was lifted up by vine-rope, but her head still lay against the ground, Rue being far taller than most from this world. Rue had been caught in one of Kairi's traps.
