"Mhmhmhmhhm….heheh…hahahahahahahah!" Most people have but simple problems to deal with when they first awake in the morning. Some wake with bad breath, others with hair that could frighten even the scariest of monsters, and still some who always seem to wake with nothing but a bad attitude. But really, how many people do you know that wake up to a cranky shadow? One whose crankiness is relived by insults to ones self?

Stan's morning routine was continued. "Slave! Why must you be so late to rise? You're no better than these other humans. When I rule this world it shall be law that…" The groggy red-head shot a glare to the dark figure towering over him. "Eh…. fine. Just hurry up would you!" And with that the shadow, pardon, Master Stanley HiHat Trinidad XIV, fell into his slave's silhouette. Stan, as he is known by our hero, is not truly as terrible as he likes to believe. Truly. But from the moment Ari, our young hero, opened that bottle he was forced into 'slavery' by his now master.

"…This is nothing but reality! You are the obedient servant of the Evil King Stan!, " A phrase that has been heard so often, it is now accepted.

With a heavy sigh Ari stood up to stretch and look out of the window. "What does he mean late? The sun is hardly awake? Idiot." Ari mumbled under his breath.

"Don't think I can't hear you! Do you wish to be punished? You wish to feel my wrath?!?! You shall tremble!" Stan rumbled as the rose, once again, from Ari's shadow. Ari did nothing but flip his fiery hair from is eyes. "…why do you not tremble?" spoke the demon flatly.

"Stan… if you were to destroy me… just who would be here to recover you're powers?" Stan's expression turned to annoyance. "I know how this works. Come off it."

"Grrr… Insolent fool. You just wait." And again he melted into his place. Ari knew at this point just how to get on his 'master's' nerves. He has made it a sort of pass time. But, as the time for Stan to regain his true form was growing near, Ari was growing a great deal anxious. Sure he was possessed by an evil king who, upon gaining all his powers and proper body, would take over the world and show no mercy. Sure, why not? But, Ari had to admit, he had let Stan grow on him… he did not want to lose him and their relationship… Ari had even grown accustom to sleeping with a little light on, cause shadows need light to be seen.

"Slave!" Stan was finally at his end. "Leave this Inn at once! We have work to do!" And with that Ari left the comforts of his room to meet up with the rest of his party. Still thinking only of what lies ahead on this journey of theirs.
