Soon the Jail-Shadow was back to take Harry to his test.

Harry was led outside of the prison. He noticed that things seemed a little brighter than before. He noticed that there were three large buildings, but he didn't have time to work out what they said. The head of the Shadow tribunal was there, and it was he who read the instructions to Harry.

"You will step inside this room," as he gestured toward a building, "and the test will manifest itself there."

The room was all white. There was one door and a mirror, probably two-way, Harry supposed. Then the room went black, the test had manifested. The cloaked figure stood before Harry.

"Poor, simple Harry. You believed I was helping you, right? Well you were very much mistaken. Do you still not understand?" The cloaked figure removed the cloak, revealing himself to be the Shadow Harry.

"What are you?" asked Harry.

"I am you, the you left over after you used the time changing device. You see, one must split to be transported through time. This split only occurs once and part of you is sent here. Do you understand now? I am the part of you that you lost by traveling through time. I am the shadow part and you are the falsetto, the part that has no knowledge of the Shadow world or its evil."

"So then, what do you want."

"Don't you understand? The only way for you to become your real self again is to combine with your shadow of time, so--"

"NEVER! I'll never combine with you!"

"FOOL! Do you think I was asking for your permission?! No. No, you will suffer for the life you gave to me."

Suddenly the shadow pulled out his knife and put a gash in Harry's arm. The blood was collected and put into a vile.

"Now Harry, you will combine with me!"
