((But it doesn't say it. I merely said that they were strong (which they were) and that they would be rewarded. Kaminari feels sorry for them cause they had to go against their Kind, and she felt really sorry for Fille cause of the whole love thing.
RECAP:
You go off to your mission. Shadow gets trapped in the house, Shade and Kaminari 'join forces' and Kaminari tricked Shadow's body to tell that she was queen. shade managed to get Shadow's mind cause Rebecca attacked Tanis but ended up just pinning him to the ground. Lilia was sent to attack Morte and Schwarz, but shadows, at Shadow's commands, were launched into the battle so the 200 legions of demons that Kaminari got from Shadow killing Paymon came and like...ripped out the throats of the shadows while protecting the house as well. then Shadow gave into Shade and he went to get the body of Shadow, then Morte (i think) told Rebecca and Kaminari Shade's real plan, but Kaminari hadn't planned on helping Shade at all; she just wanted to see if her army was strong enough, and it was, so now she's asked Shadow if she could kill Shade and then, when the new year starts (not in real time I hope), she's going to destory the world with her HUGE army and kill Satan and take over hell.
but that's just a summary. The details aren't needed. lawl though that was pretty detailed...))

((shiny))
Attimasc walked in through the portal and surveyed the scene, "What in the the name of all that is good were you guy's doing over here? I could feel the magic output from the other side of the world!" Attimasc looked healthier, more solid, even though he was smaller than when he had entered the portal. He stuck his arm into himself and searched around, "I looked for your Mark thing, but this was all I found," he pulled out the Mark, or what was left of it, it was much smoother than what Kaminari had shown, and one of the arms of the star was missing. "I'm quite sure this is it, the aura of it is too strong to be anything else, and has a similar flavor to both you and your book,"

Kaminari looked at Attimasc, and smiled, "You tasted it?" she exclaimed, taking the jewel and giggling, "Yes, hell did come quickly, but it's gone now. Both of you may leave now, like the deal." She said, turning to her desk and murmured several words and the jewel mended a bit, but the one arm was still not completely there. "It'll take time," Kaminari murmured.

Shadow easily slid back into her body. She stood and changed her form. It was back to normal, only instead of her usual sexier attire, she wore a solid black suit with a gleaming red tie that matched her eyes.
"Bravo, My Lady," Shadow said, bowing and clapping her hands. "That was quite the wonderful performance. You even had me fooled. I am glad to call you my...Mother?" Shadow stared at the walls, then began pacing. "For if it is true that you are the Mother of all creatures, then that would make me your daughter. But...I have a feeling the relationship now its more like..." Shadow struggled with words, finally reaching a conclusion. "Sisters? I don't know. All I know is that what you just did was wonderful. Thanks very much. You got Shade to go away. But..." Shadow scowled. "He took my medicine. b*****d. I've got less than twenty four hours to go find him. This should be quite fun." Shadow came to Daron and Rebecca. She stopped her pacing.
"You two are quite...interesting. I am in debt to you as well. If what Kaminari says applies to me as well, which I'm sure it does then we're...cousins? Or am I your Auntie? Oh well. Still, you're marvelous little things." Shadow smiled and pet them both on the head, ignoring any growls that may have come out. Shadow began pacing around the room again.
"Hmm...as for that whole 'destroy the world' thing..." Shadow spun on her heel, stopping again. She was opposite the room from where she had started.
"You do mean the actual world, correct? Not just Hell, though taking control of Hell and killing Satan is your plan, correct? Hmm...well, I'm kind of wondering why you have to take out the real world as well. I like it here, and I'm sure the human population does too. Along with all the other non-humans. If you're planning to take their home and their lives, I'd like to know why." She resumed pacing. Next came Vladimir and Lilia.
"Vlady, how ya doin?" Shadow said, her tone much more casual.
"Just glad to see you." Vlad stood up and gave Shadow a big bear hug. He flailed her around. She slipped through his arms and casually landed on her feet.
"Very nice..." Shadow sighed. "Now then. Lilia..." Shadow approached Lilia, who stared at her with big eyes. "You are a marvelous thing," Shadow said, smiling sweetly. "You better make this man very, very happy, you hear me? Otherwise you'll have me to deal with." Shadow leaned down and kissed Lilia on the forehead. Lilia smiled.
"I shall do as I have done in the past, Queen Shadow."
"Oh please, none of that queen stuff. It's Shadow, dear." Shadow began to head towards the door, but then she took a detour towards Attimasc.
"Attimasc," she said, stopping in front of him. She forced a smile and glanced around, trying to gather her words. "Umm...good job. You completed your task. Very nice. Umm...you should probably get back to your pool. And ah...this is probably good-bye." Shadow smiled meekly. "I have to find Shade and get back what he's taken. Then I should probably go find my kids...Schwarz and Morte are worried sick and Fille desperately needs to get back to the castle. And yes," Shadow said, laughing, "I live in a castle when I'm not here. Weird, isn't it?" She paused, then awkwardly pet him on the head. "Maybe I'll come back sometime. Maybe not..." She smiled again, then walked up to Kaminari.
"Give me your last good-bye, Queen of Hell." Shadow grinned. "I'm just gonna think of you as that from now on, kay? I know how strong your little army is. Those soldier shadows...weren't that strong, but it is hard as hell to kill a shadow. Well done. You have earned the title. And tell Satan hey for me. That b*****d deserves to die." Shadow bowed again, then waited for Kaminari to answer any questions she felt like answering.

Attimasc was a bit taken aback, but he grinned anyway, "Heck no! This isn't goodbye! You really think that I will listen to you? Don't answer that. I am going, like it or not. It was getting dull until you came and woke me up, my dreams were beginning to be reruns. But couldn't you get more medicine from Caroline?" he put his hand on her shoulder, "Look, Shadow, no matter how strong you are, I still think that you can't do this by yourself. Heck, even if I can't help, I can still be a distraction (for your enemies) and entertainment on your trip,"

Kaminari smiled, putting The Mark in her book and closing it before putting the books in her desk and locking the drawer. "I am Mother of Empires and Lanuages and few races. Few are the Elves, Orcs, and of course, Shadows." she murmured, "But I never thought of myself as a Mother to my races; I never lingered close enough. But Sisters...yes. Two Queens in charge of a world they wish to change, no?" she said, walking into the living room to join Rebecca and Daron. "I'm sure you know the Noah Ark story, and the great flood," she sighed, rolling her eyes, "that was the less gruesome ending to the world and therefore it was restarted. But unlike Him," she snapped, then smoothed out her temper, "I plan not to keep any human, good or evil; I plan to destroy the human race. My Races, Languages, and Empires will be left. And I will fill them up with Elves, Orcs, Dwarfs, Fairies, Greek Monsters and Myths, as well as the Romans. Humans, on the other hand, will be gone. Forever. And on the top of the Empire Line will be of course, The Vampires. My first, and most treasured Race." She said proudly, not looking towards Lilia and Vlad. "I take what i said earlier back, Attimasc, I suppose bringing Lilia back did have a possitive side to my well fortune." she giggled, but not saying more on the Vampire matter.
"Of course, we'll first have to kill Satan, won't we?" Rebecca said, "Friend?" she murmured to Kaminari who shook her head.
"I have The Mark in my possession now; he'll stand no chance. But knowing him, he won't give in. His Empire will crumble, and mine will regain once again. The Three Spirits better learn now, cause they won't stop me." she sighed, "Anyways...Until then, I'll go back killing the Reapers I discover and so on. Act One as already been in session." she smiled, "Now, I doubt, Shadow, that you'll want to go touring the world, tracking down the infamous Shade. And so, I have a gift." she said, walking over to her bookcase and bring out a scroll. She walked to the table and Rebecca quickly moved the sliver tray. Kaminari unrolled the map and it showed the world; not to the exact detail, but still. On the map was moving dots of different color. Where mongolia was, there was a flood of different colors. "I guess you can expect no different," she smiled, and tapped the area where Mongolia would be and it zoomed in, and fast. She pressed her finger to the paper and slid it to the edge, moving the map until they were over a sketch drawing of Kaminari's house. Inside there was a blue dot, a black dot, three red dots, one orange dot and one white dot. "The dots: blue would be Attimasc; Black, Shadow; the Red would be Daron, Rebbeca and I; Orange is Vlad, and the White is Lilia. Once you die and go to hell, you're removed from the map. But, if you come back to Earth, like Lilia did, your color changes from whatever you were, and she was a light blue since she was human, to white. The Key will appear if you tap the page twice. I find it very useful at times; they are easy to make, but it takes centuries for the pictures to develop completely." she said, rolling her eyes, "but another thing you can do is pinpoint an exact person...or shadow. Just simply go to the key and write the name in the black provided. The blank will clear its self once you return to the map." She smiled.

Shadow grinned at her good fortune.
"Good answer, Attimasc!" she said, slapping him on the back. "I was hoping you'd have the guts to come along. Besides, I do find you amusing. You're almost as fun as me, only less crazy." She grinned, but then inhaled and her face turned serious.
"I thank you for this great gift," she said, bowing as she took the map from Kaminari. "I shall make sure to put it to good use. And as for the starting the world over...it doesn't sound all that bad. Though I would like to put in a good word for witches. I'm just saying. They aren't exactly human, even though they share the human DNA. If you could find a way to fit witches into your plan then that would make me very, very happy. Caroline and Jesabell are two of my very good friends, and I would hate to see them perish. Though I hope that you're not putting this plan into action too soon. I do enjoy the taste of human blood, and I'd like to get my fill before they go extinct..." She shook her head and got back on topic. "But yes, I do suppose that restarting the world isn't that bad. Humans have messed it up quite a bit..." She looked at Attimasc again. "And as for getting medicine from Caroline, well, that's impossible. Because the medicine doesn't come from her. I get vials of blood from Jesabell. The blood is no normal blood. It is very pure blood that contains much magic. It is mixed with dark herbs only found in special areas of the world and sometimes other realms; I spend much of my time gathering these herbs for Jesabell. Also mixed with the blood is...demon's essence." Shadow smiled shyly and glanced at Kaminari. "Tee hee...yeah...but hey, it's not like they die. I just...catch the troublemakers and take some of them. They live...or do whatever we non-living things do. Anywho, umm...blood, essence of demon, herbs...ah! And the most important ingredient! Quite the gruesome one, it is. But I do not have many morals. I have spared Jesabell and Caroline by not telling them exactly what that little white fluff ball is. You see...it's the soul of an innocent. The most pure, binding thing I've ever seen. The strongest that exists, to my knowledge. But of course, where do you think I find the purest souls? Well...they might be the souls of freshly newborn children, and they might not. Uh...yeah, they are. Human children work the best. So...I might have something to do with infant mortality rates. But hey, I only kill those who have problems. Covers my tracks..." Shadow smiled meekly, then wiped her face of all emotion.
"Rebecca. Daron. You two are fantastic creatures. I hope that we can meet again on peaceful circumstances."
"Vladimir. You are...the closest thing I've ever had to a best friend. Live a long life. Enjoy it. You have Lilia, so I'm confident that you will have a happy life. And as for you, Lilia..." Shadow went to Lilia and took her hand, shaking it firmly. "I am so glad that I got the chance to meet you, and I am glad that you got the chance to live again. You were...unjustly killed. Even if this is a different life, it is still life. Spend it with your other half."
"Kaminari...my Sister." Shadow appeared behind Kaminari, and she set her head on her shoulder. "I have decided that yes, you are right. We are sisters. And as for your lack of motherhoodly-ness...well I suggest you start a bit. At least with those two. They are your children, and you thier mother. Being a mother helps you in many ways. Teaches you compassion and care and love. Very strange things, they are, but useful. You are a wonderful demon and a very interesting sister. Take good care of the world." Shadow moved away from Kaminari and appeared beside Attimasc.
"Attimasc, you're coming with me. I would force you but you say you'll come willingly, which saves me much trouble."
"And as for me." Shadow tucked the map into her pocket. "I think that I am going to rest for a bit, then go get my medicine back. I think I might have stashed a few pills throughout my house, just because I'm smart like that. But, even though I want to laze around, I really should go get them back. The longer Shade stays in this world, the more people he's gonna kill. And the more women he's gonna impregnate...and oh, I do not wanna see any sort of half-human half-shadow baby brought into this world. Because if that does happen then I will have to promptly kill it, and I don't like killing my children. Though I don't think I'd mind slaughtering Shade..."
"Right then!" Shadow puffed up and her suit dissapeared, turning into her usual tight fitting, extremely short dress. "To my house, then! Search for those damned pills, then a trip to say hello and goodbye to the guys at the bar. Oh! Damn. I forgot about poor Christopher! He's very human. Then again, I could always get him turned..." She glanced at Vlad.
"Nuh-uh. I don't swing that way." But he smiled and gave Shadow a long hug.
"You're making your wife jealous~" Shadow cooed.
"We're not married."
"What??? Then you need to be! I'll make you a deal, Vlady. As soon as I get back with my medicine, I'll marry you two. And not just some crappy wedding, a real one! How about that?"
"A wedding! I'm going to have a proper wedding!" Lilia cheered. Vlad blushed.
"Whatever she wants, I guess."
Shadow nudged Vlad. "Never say that, my boy. That's how you get tricked into S&M." She laughed, gave him another hug, then kissed him on the forehead.
"Come on! I'm tired and wanna go get something to drink! I'm waaayyyyy too sober." She trotted towards the door, grabbing Attimasc as she went.
"Bye everybody!"
"Bye Shadow!" Lilia called, waving frantically. She turned to Daron and Rebecca. "I like Auntie Shadow. She's nice!"

Rebecca smiled, "Lilia!" She laughed, "Shadow...isn't quite our aunt."
Daron rolled his eyes, "Not quite, but we'll go with it. Mother?"
Kaminari was studying the floor and then she smirked, turning and creating a portal in hell. Daron caught a glimsp of The Mark, completed, and glowing a blood red. "Oh my..." Rebecca whispered.
Kaminari merged the The Mark with her heart as she walked up the stairs to Satan's Throne Room, soon to be hers. She entered, her demon form filling her features completely. She was taller and had claws and fangs like a tiger. "Hello, Misteress of Time, how may I be of service?" came the annoying voice of Satan's joker.
"You can start by eating your bowels." She snapped, stroading forward to the throne, "Lord of the Lies..." she whispered, not bowing like she usually did.
"You are released, Sin." Satan snapped to the joker who whined but left the room quickly. "Why do you come to my preasence? Here to get premission again, to train your army against mine?" He growled.
"No, silly," Kaminari smirked, her claws glowing red, "I've found a new companion. Its quite wonderful. I love its color. Red. Like a ruby. You know...The Mark." Only Silence. "Fine." Kaminari huffed, "I'll just kill you and collect my army, my castle, and most importantly, MY Land." She yelled, and Satan lunged at her, but her claws grew instantly and sliced his neck...off. The Mark transfered from her heart and plagued his, destorying his system and killing him if he wasn't already dead. "Well...that was relitively easy. General." She snapped, going up the stairs to the giant throne. "I want you to send your troops out and one: annouce my new titles, two: Destory anyone who disagrees and Three: Give the ones who do agree one legion from Satan's dealing. The leftovers will be to me." She smirked, settling down. This is going to be fun...
Daron blinked and winced, "She's done it."
"It's going to start soon?" Lilia whispered, "b-but, what about Auntie Shadow's request?"
"No...I think she just wanted to smite Satan and kill him before Shadow had a change to blink and turn around." Rebecca sighed.
"Why?" Daron and Lilia asked at the same time.
"Um..she was using what was left of Shadow's energy to complete The Mark. When Shadow touched her on the arm; well...it was done. That one touch completed The Mark."
"Oh.." both murmured again.

"All sorts of things, my dear boy! And...oh!" Shadow collapsed, her hands and knees falling into the ground. She held still for a moment, then erupted with laughter.
"Ha-HA! That Kaminari. I know what she's done, and you know what? I'm not going to say a thing. She's got her plans and I've got mine. We are allies but..." Shadow's eyes gleamed. "We do dissagree on certain subjects. Anyway, it does appear that I've used up all my energy. I knew I shouldn't have touched her. But I did, and the deed has been done." Shadow rose, but her feet melted into the ground, like they had before she had gotten to the bar.
"Oh dear...I'm losing energy at an alarming rate. Must find that b*****d Shade..." Shadow glided along, hovering over the ground. She beckoned for Attimasc and Tanis to follow.
"You two, with me," she called. "I would suggest that you come to my house." Shadow chuckled. "And I don't really know why I took this map from Kaminari. I'm going to hang on to it, of course, for it is very useful. But I don't need it to find Shade. I already know where he is."

Shadow smiled.
"My house, of course. He wants to meet in private. I can feel it. And I really need you two to be there with me. Otherwise I might end up sleeping with him or something." Shadow sighed. "Our meetings are always the same. Big fight, everybody gets mad, I lose, then he loses, then we meet in private, screw, then I trick him back into the shadow realm. This is what we've been doing for the past, oh, two thousand years? Once or twice every five hundred years do we meet. Ha...what a relationship we have...I hate him, but I cannot deny that I also love him. Hate is another form of love..." Shadow sighed, then smiled a true smile, instead of her usual big crazy one. "But I'm going to break the pattern. He finally pushed the right button. I'm skipping the sex and going straight to the beating his butt straight back to the shadow realm."

Attimasc nodded, he wasn't too suprised, except for being totally suprised, of course. "Let me ask you something, Shadow, how is it that you shadows keep together, or stay in the material world,"

"Well," Shadow huffed, dragging her feet along. "If by 'stay in the material world' you mean 'come to the real world' then it's quite simple. But for you to understand I'll have to tell a story." Shadow jumped up and tried to stay in the air, but she was quickly sucked back to earth. She grunted and slithered a bit faster.
"Long ago, shadows got in trouble with the other creatures that inhabit and that no longer inhabit this world. Shadows are mean little bastards at heart; you can't change a person's true nature. So all the other creatures banded together and created an entirely seperate realm that is squished up against this one. Then they snatched up all the shadows and dumped them in the other realm. The basic geography of the shadow realm is the same as the earth's, and even buildings are similar. For example, my favorite vacation home is a large castle that is a mirror image of the Winter Palace. So basically on that particular spot in Russia in this realm there is a big building called the Winter Palace. But in the shadow realm there's this big building that's exactly like the Winter Palace only it's called Shadow's Favorite Vacation Home." Shadow giggled at her own joke. "Sometimes it differs, but not really. The worlds are so close that they affect each other. Like, you know that crazy psycho house out in California? The one with all the doors to outside on the fifth floor and the stairs to the roof? Legend says that the lady who wanted it built worked the workers day and night 'cause she was crazy. Legend also says that they are still building the house, even though they're dead. Well, that was actually a big huge incident. A big 'ole gash got torn in the film between the realms, right where that spot is. This gash happened to appear right around the time that Kraken, this ambitous young shadow whose loyalties belong to me, decided to build this massive house for himself. Right on that spot. Good idea? Definately not. The worker shadows started dissapearing. Eventually Kraken went to investigate. He dissapeared too. Guess what happened to them." Shadow didn't wait for an answer. "They got sucked through this big gaping gash and shot right into the bodies of humans. Kraken ended up in the old lady's body. She just wanted a house. But Kraken wanted a crazy-house. Cause that's what the real world did to him. So he worked the worker shadows day and night and kept building and building and building until the old lady died and he got shot back into the shadow realm. The worker shadows soon followed. So that's how the crazy a** house got built. What explains the ghost workers that are still building is just the worker shadows building Kraken's house. Last time I saw it, it was massive. I'm going to guess that it's doubled in size by now. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that lots of phenomenon can be related to shadows getting too close to the border. But that doesn't really answer yall's question."
Shadow stuck her tongue out then pushed forward a bit harder, her form sinking into the ground more.
"You want to know how shadows keep their form in the real world? Simple. They don't. You just think they do. See those shadows you're casting right now? Well, I've got news for you. That's a little baby shadow, right there. And when you die, it will be released as a mature shadow. So that's how shadows are born. Still not answering the question...right! So shadows are born from a shadow that you cast as you live your life. So that means they were raised in what I call the border. They aren't in the shadow realm and they aren't in the real world. So that means they're a part of both and neither at the same time. Right right...question answering...umm...since shadows are part of both, that means they can exist in both. So shadows should be able to exist nice and solidly in both realms. But remember. Shadows got banished. So we're only solid in the shadow realm. BUT because of the way that we're born, we can still enter the real world. But once again because of the banishment/curse thing, we can't really exist. So we appear as what we are. Shadows. You think you're seeing a person, but in reality you're just seeing a shadow that has taken on a form that appears to be a 3-D person. But you can't touch them and they can't touch you. If they get into full light or full darkness then they'll dissapear and fade, which is the equivalence of killing a shadow. When a mature shadow enters the real world, all they do is take on the properties of an immature shadow. Then they use the millions of immature shadows that exist in this world to hop around and look like they're a person. It really is quite the neat trick."
"Now then! As for me...well, I'm special." Shadow smiled and ran her fingers through her hair. "You see, I've had memory troubles in the past, but I do remember some things. For example, when the shadows got banished, some didn't. I was one of them. Which means that I'm not totally forbidden from this world. Sadly, I wasn't the only one not banished. Shade, Fille, and a few others I won't name were not totally banished as well. We are the royal shadows, and we went to the shadow realm of our own will. But since we are shadows, the rules still apply to us. But then, a few centuries ago, I found a cure. I developed my medicine, which bypasses the basic rules of being a shadow and allows me to temporarily become solid, though I am still far, far away from real and millions of miles away from human. Or the equivalent of human. You know what I mean." Shadow sunk to her knees, and she gave up with a sigh. Her lower body dissapeared; now she was just a torso, arms, and head, floating along the ground.
"Basically it's like a cheat that I use. Hmm...so I think that that answers your question. But I might as well tell you how we get here as well.
"Remember what I said about that gash? Well, random holes in the barrier heal over time, but there's one opening that will never go away. It's the original tear in the dimentions that the creatures of ancient earth made so they could get rid of all the shadows. It is located in the middle of the Shadow Castle, in a special room. Well, actually, it's more like a big white hole that is at the top of some stairs. The portal, as we call it, is always sending you to different locations. But we've learned how to control where we go. It's hard to come to the real world through that portal; charms were placed on it to keep shadows in their realm. But those charms help us as well; we don't want just anybody going to the real world. The portal is the only way into the real world that is always there; other holes never last long. But anyway, I've been saying much too much. Did that butt-load of information answer your question?"
