Did they ever care? Did they ever understand?
Why do I keep asking these questions day after day...
I really do feel tired... Maybe, I'll just take a short nap...
"Damnit Shadow! Wake up!" It was obviously Vaati's voice echoing into the room. "You fool! I tell you to watch the mirror for just one hour and you fall asleep on the job!"
Shadow rubbed his eyes and blinked to see the purple figure leaning over him, tall and viciously staring him down.
All Shadow could mutter was, "Sorry...Lord Vaati..."
Vaati did not look at all impressed.
"Why don't I just throw you off this here tower? You cannot even stay awake for more than one hour, you useless creation..."
Shadow stood up and shook away his sleepiness. "Please forgive me, Vaati."
"Why should I! Let slip again and you'll be dead."
They both new what he meant by that.
Shadow had just been resurrected again from the mirror last night. He was very weak still as he slowly recovered his dark powers. He knew one thing though, just because he was weak didn't mean he was going to get any special treatment...more like the opposite.
Shadow would likely never be forgiven for helping the four young heros. He was nearly worthless, yet for some reason Vaati spared him.
Vaati has been acting strange...
Oh your probably wondering... The mirror may have broke, but the mirror shards still work just fine. They may not be as efficient, but it works. Thats how Vaati and Shadow still live. Although Shadow rather be dead.
The mirror has been loosely pieced back togather with a few shards missing here and there...
Vaati snapped Shadow from his dreaming by barking orders at him. "Go find him, you'll do as I say, or I'll make sure the light hurts even more this time."
He knew exactly what he meant by him.
"Yes Lord Vaati...as you say."
Vaati walked out of the room his purple cape swinging behind him. To be queit honest Shadow thinks he likes his monster form better than his hylyain form.
Shadow link walked down the stone corridors, he was in the middle of the tower at the very core were the mirror slept. There was very little light in the entire tower, but most can see without any light. Shadow was having some trouble though, still fresh from the dark world. His eyes seeing dark patches everywhere...
He stumbled over a box that was laying in the hallway as he fell onto the ground.
Poor Shadow...he heard inside his head.
Poor, weak, little Shadow.
"I am not weak!" He screamed...
"I am not weak..."
