Insomnia stopped trembling and looked at his claws, "I haven't felt pain for such a long time." He smiled at his claws, a glint of hunger entering his eyes. "I forgot how good it felt." He laughed, bringing his blood red eyes back to Katherine,. There was a quiet warning in them. "Anybody can reach the fool, even me, girl. I just couldn't find him before. I'm blind to him, like he is to me." He flexed his claws enough to touch two of his fingers together. "Why am I even explaining this to you, when you want to play so badly. Then. . ." The back of his cloak grew, like a giant boil. "let's play." A tousand shadow hands burst from the bulge, and they went everywhere, breaking through stone, ground, and slicing through air. All of them homed in on Katherine as they extended, and kept extending. A thousand tentacles all whipping towards Katherine.

She jumped back buying herself enough time to think about what to do, as the hands neared her she sent a wave of her own power out to colide with his attack the best she could think of in short notice to keep them a pay for the time being, her power that she controled pushing him towards his form keeping him there started to crush in on him. "You know just as much about my maker as i do which is nothing at all. You are a fake Insomia even your power is fake, you are no god not even a dead god." She shook her head almost saddly. "You are no more or less than what i am without what power i possess."

Insomnia laughed at her words, her efforts to stop him. "Then tell me this?" His head rolled to face her, even if the simple act should have broken his spine. When the hands came back to him, they simply reformed into his body, like nothing had ever happened. Despite the pressure crushing his body, he stepped forward, leaving a molten foot print behind him. "Then? What am I?" He asked, moving ever closer, now, heat radiating from him like a furnace. Each step left a burning foot print, and the room itself was starting to get very warm.

Her power let go it was doing nothing she knew that she took a breath feeling it all rush back. Then her purple eyes met his, "Your a soul thats all, something that colleceted a lot of power and is very angery for existing.. but in truth if anyone should be upset over existance it is not you." She said with a slight smile she looked down at his feet her power reaching back out hi body was just that a body his power laid in his actions she needed time to figure it out.. time to understand what was plainly there, how could she attack his actions? She didn't understand why Jack was so confident she would live through this, but then he was pretty far off the deep end lately she didn't understand anything he did anymore.. she wanted to change his power make the molten heat eat him away but that would add to his power she was no fool. "Will you burn me to death then since i am in fact trapped to mortal form?"

Insomnia stopped and smiled, the heat dissapearing almost immedietly. "That was what my creators were." Pointing a single appendage at Katherine, hs continued, "I am not so different from you, girl. You were created as a weapon. I was created as a weapon. We're both weapons, aimed at the same thing." AS if explaining to a child, he smiled kindly, waiting for her response yet again. He wasn't going to stand here all day, considering her inhospitality to him.

She shook her head slightly. "Your not that, not as i am you made yourself what you are. I was born what i am. I didn't take it you did, and now you want to destroy existance in itself." She shook her head again she was done with this conversation she had to try something she had to do something no matter what that doing was. Her power went out not at his form but again around the power that was him seeping in slowly as it did when she came close to beating him before. She didn't do anything to him but watched him. "Your image is not false if you can make death, though half of you is elsewhere." She looked behind her, there was the wall. "I can not destroy you like this but i can push you back." She spoke looking to him her power that had seeped in grabbed like hands pushing him pulling him away from her out towards where he came in.

Insomnia coughed, "True, most of it. You were born with power. I was forged with only weakness." He started walking backwards, letting the invisible power pull him back. It was what he had wanted from the start, "It is true, girl. I am only a shadow of my former self." The monster laughed at himself, insanely, still walking backwards. "Shadows come with their advantages." He laughed again, as black dust started to fall from his body. The ash spread across the floor, creating a strange symbol. He studied it intently, before grinning madly. Then he turned to leave, letting the invisible hands pull them where they wanted.

The push came harder now much more harder as she watched him. Shadows, what a odd thing to say, what a odd thing to hear. It reminded her of something. A slight smile played her lips only for a moment her power did not let up as she turned away no not at all she headed back upstairs. Back to Thanatos, she would have to truely go fight Insomia soon very soon.. she was waiting though waiting to know something.. funny how her life meant so little to her. If she couldn't do what was needed of her then to her she was false, it was all pointless. She reached out touching his sleeping little form. A life that would be so much more, one that she couldn't save from what would be. She turned heading back downstairs then with the issue of Paradox and Jack. She didn't understand that, was it there similarity, Paradox was loyal to her but jack didn't think he would always be so or maybe it was something else. once she was in there persance again she walked to Paradox's side. "I do not understand why.." She spoke watching his followers attack Jack she was not worried for Jack.. she never could be for she knew him well enough.

Insomnia was gone just as suddenly as he came. Once he left the castle he dissapeared in a wisp of smoke. "shadows. . ." He whispered, letting that form dissolve. He needede to increase his power first.

Paradox watched the two attack Jack, "Not everybody needs reasons." He replied to Katherine, watching the strike impassively. He pulled off his qaurter staff, and tapped into the ground, "But, I do."

"Don't. I will stop him." She spoke watching Paradox"I agree with your reason, I think he believes one day you will turn aginst me or be forced to." She shook her head slightly. "He hasn't been quite the same since right after he gained that power." That power was strong to. She couldn't have Paradox fight him because Paradox didn't understand who Jack was even to her in the long run of things. How much he really did help them.

It was subtle. Almost nonexistent. When Paradox moved his fingers, it was as though he brushed against a piece of string. When his two cronies came to scare him by swinging their weapons, they came close, and their weapons would do the same thing. Although, they were moving faster, and so they would actually feel a slight resistance, although slight it is barely even noticeable. It was too bad that they did not aim to strike him sincerely. It would cost them upon their next attack. But for what? He seemed harmless as he remains standing where he is. Watching Paradox with that gaze of his, glowing with its ethereal light as everything slowly darkened, and it became a little colder. Katherine would appear and his hand would lift to grasp the roll of tobacco which hangs from his lips. Lowering it to his side, his hand would hang there and he would exhale a thin stream of smoke. "Sincerity and niceties will only go so far Paradox. Katherine.. I suggest you leave, lest you find yourself in a box you cannot escape."

"When am i not in a box i can't escape you know well enough i can't let you do this, that i won't let you do this." She spoke seeming truly upset now moving towards him a little bit. "It is not needed .. it isn't what can i do to show you that?" She spoke very close to him now. she was unworried of Paradox's men as well she was worried about something else. "Or is it the power that you think you need?" She shook her head refusing to believe that. She in truth had no real say in anything she was his not the other way around but he liked to play like it was the other way around.

(I can't beleive I missed the post by two minutes. Dang it!)
Paradox noticed, even if his lackeys didn't. "Jack is right. You are running out of time to leave, katherine." He moved his staff around, letting taste the air, testing what could not be seen. The staff stopped, as the two followers made another attack on Jack, another warning, but this one wouldn't miss. Only graze the skin. Paradox would not attack without any provocation. He needed a reason.

she looked back to Paradox, "Do you have any idea what he means to do?.. You might not but i do and I can't let you be trapped like that i won't let it happen." She spoke looking back to Jack. She shook her head slightly. "I won't."
