Vio was sitting on a rock. Alone. The others were talking and laughing over by the campfire. Vio was thinking. Thinking about Shadow. How he betrayed Shadow. How Shadow probably hated him right now. 'I can't blame him. If I were Shadow I would hate me too…' Vio has been like this since he betrayed Shadow. Almost broke the Dark Mirror. Almost killed Shadow. Almost. The only thing he did break was his own heart….. And Shadow's. So he sat alone on that rock. Thinking. Wondering. Looking at his shadow. Being depressed and longing for his old best friend.
The others have been trying to cheer him up but to no avail. "Hey, Vio," Red said, "why don't you come sit by us? It's ok, I'm fine." Vio sighed. They were all worried about their brother. Vio has been pulling away from them more and more lately. "Are you ok?" Green asked. They already knew the answer to the question but it was worth a shot. "I'm fine. Just tired" That wasn't a lie. He hasn't slept since he betrayed shadow. They decided to leave him alone. The last time they brought up Shadow he didn't take it so well. First, he started screaming at them and breaking things. Then he sat down on the ground and started crying about how he missed his best friend. They told him not to go see Shadow because he would kill Vio and he already knew this.
Pretty soon it was time to go to bed. They put the campfire out and went into their own tents. Vio still couldn't sleep. 'I really miss Shadow. He probably hates me….' He lay there lost in his own thoughts for a few moments. 'I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I have to find Shadow,' he decided. He left a note for the other heroes saying:
There is something important I must go and do. DO NOT COME LOOK FOR ME! This is something I must do on my own. If I don't come back… I'm dead. Goodbye.
Love,
Vio
He left it on his tent where he knew the others would find it. He held it there using an arrow. He grabbed two red potions and set off, leaving his boomerang behind. He had to go to Sky Tall Tower. That's where the portal to the Shadow Realm is. And on the other side is Shadow.
Shadow was on his bed. He couldn't stop thinking about the violet hero. This aggravated the shadow. 'I shouldn't miss him. He almost broke the dark mirror. Almost killed me. But I still miss him! Why?' Shadow threw a glass at the wall in frustration. "KEESE!" He called for one of his minions. "Y-yes master" the frightened keese said. "Go get me another glass or I'll burn you alive!" He screamed "Right away master" the little keese flew off to get the glass. The shadow went back to thinking about Vio. 'I should hate him….. Not miss him.' The keese came back with the glass "H-here y-you go master. It took you long enough," Shadow mumbled. "S-sorry master" it said and flew off. Shadow was still upset. 'I'll kill Vio next time I see him!' He knew he wouldn't but saying it made him feel better. He continued skulking about the violet hero.
