"You received the sacred treasure?" Melanie questioned, continuing without Shade. My eyes lit up in horror and realization of how she knew such a well-kept secret.

"Much has happened since my five-year leave. I shan't let you be at peace, remember that, Shade and Melanie."

"Hmph," they repeated once more in unison.

"You destroyed every color of my life… so now I shall you. Every color in your lives shall be white. No color, no life, just breath. You'll be a living corpse when I'm finished with you."

"You wish," they repeated one last time in unison before a great power engulfed both them and myself.
