Shadow stood up after feeling the heaviness of the past few days. He kept feeling unreasonably tired. He also felt insanely twisted up inside... Should he even follow Vaati's orders? It's not like he cares...he never did...

Shadow, despite feeling like drowning himself, proceeded down the dark halls. He passed by a few dark Knights who gave him cold looks. He saw multiple servants give him stares. Shadow was slowly feeling the pressure.

He finally reached his corridors. He hadn't seen them since he before he came out of the mirror...again. It was fairly the same. Nothing out of the ordinary, he did notice, however, that the master sword lay on his bed. Well, not the real master sword, but of course the dark version of it. A separate reality of the light.

Shadow picked the sword up and touched the tip of it with his fingertips. Surprisingly, he drew a small amount of blood that trickled down his hand. He saw it and a warm sensation came to mind.

He could remember that sent...

His past battles became as clear as day inside is head as he remembered the countless he had killed.

On the other hand he felt another feeling...A feeling that nagged at him constantly. He could not name it.

Shadow sheathed his sword and began to walk out of his room when he saw a figure in the doorway.

"Hey you!" Shadow yelled as he ran over toward it. No one was there... Was he hallucinating?

"Why does this always happen to me?" Shadow muttered.

He had no idea why he was going crazy. Matter of fact he was confused and angry as ever. One thing he knew is that he needed to fix it, and as soon as possible.

Shadow then heard a raging voice in his head, no other from his creator of course. "Shadow, come to my corridors right now!"

Shadow, of course, had to comply. He steadily walked to his destination, taking his sweet time while doing it.

He creaked the door open and awaited a very long and hateful lecture from Vaati.

Vaati of course gave his signature devious smile as Shadow briskly made his way toward him. He was standing over a pool of water that was shining full of images of the light world.

"It is a little blinding, isn't it?" Vaati asked. "But it is necessary to look through our enemies eyes."

Shadow investigated the pool of light. He agree'd that it burned his eyes. "Shadow, you do know what I wish you to do, don't you?" Vaati's eyes darkened as he walked over to a separate table and sat down.

"Uh, wasn't it something about invading hyrules territory?" Shadow responded hesitantly.

"Of course not you fool! Get yourself straight," He yelled as he looked Shadow dead on in the eyes. "We went over this, right?"

"I cannot recall...Lord Vaati"

Vaati snapped a book closed that he was holding.

"Well you better start remembering."

Shadow looked down at his feet feeling a bit shaky from Vaati's attitude.

"Remember, Shadow?" Vaati smirked. "We are going to assassinate the Hero."
