"Don't worry, it shouldn't attack... However, I did find out a few of the other creatures sealed away. Apparently, there was a tiger as well, which might catch your ear Starla."

"The strange thing is, didn't Drake lead the Shadow purges two years ago? I thought that most, if not all, references to Shadows and the Shadow Empire were wiped out?" Cheshil shrugged, "It's odd that these temples would survive." ((I'm kind of seeing the Shadows as the once dominant force on the planet, until they got all greedy. And stuff. But then Cheshil could be mixing up what he watched on the Sci-Fi Channel in the future. ))

Starla's frightful expression disappeared, but only slightly, and her hand twitched when Dragus mentioned the tiger. However, she tried to keep to the topic.
"I haven't heard much about the Shadow Purges, but I don't think it was Drake leading them. Was it?"
((I always pictured shadows as a sort of undead force, kind of like ghosts, only in a more physical nature.))

"The purges..."
Cheshil shook his head.
"Do you remember the island we had the battle on before our final battle against the Shadow Lord? That island... It doesn't exist any more."
((That'll work as well. Maybe the Shadow Empire exists in the Shadow World?))

((Perhaps he is, perhaps he isn't. For every darkness there is light, and every light there is darkness.))
"Well, the reason the creatures were sealed, was because they were all shadow. And the reasons they wern't destroyed by Drake... They were hidden away within the shadows themselves."
Dragus takes taps his staff into the flames, and a image starts to appear inside them, showing what he is now talking about.
"You see, when the Shadow Empire had more of a say in this world some of their creatures were here as well. If you recall the Shadow Dragons we once met. However, some were to dangerous to let run wild, much like the Tiger, where as others were to powerful, like this Wolf."
He motions to it, as it glares at the fire.
"You see, they were the ones who sealed them. The shrine can only be seen if you can open a portal between the shadow realm and the earth realm. Thats what I happon to go through in a matter of seconds during Shadow Pass. I'm not sure how, but when I used it near this shrine, it actually left me there."

Starla sighs.
"I don't know if I can forget that island. But wait... it disappeared? How?"
((I like that idea.))

"Ahem..."
Dragus stares at them.

((Posted at the same time. )) Starla turns to Dragus. "Sorry... If the shadow animals can do that, why didn't the human shadows do that to themselves?"

Cheshil gasped.
"Open portals to the Shadow Realm? Even for seconds..."
He turned to Starla, "I don't know about the island. It's possible it sunk like, heh, Darcthorn town times 2, or it..."
He shook his head, "...could've been absorbed back into the Shadow Realm."

"Well the shadow people could control themselves, but they couldn't control the animals. Well, at least the dangerous ones. The others they didn't want to let them to get into the hands of their enemies."
The Shadow Wolf moves a little closer, still growling.
"I'm not teleporting through the Shadow Realm. I teleport through the realm between it and our own."

"In the realm... between the realm... wouldn't it still affect you? In some way? And wait... are you saying we can only see these temples when you use shadow pass?"
Starla jumps a little at the wolf's growl.

"But still, it's possible, isn't it? If you can do that, can't you open a portal into the Shadow Realm?"
Cheshil quickly pulled a second book out of his pack.
"...Yes. Yes, it's a good idea."
Closing the book, Cheshil looked at the Shadow Wolf, "We could modify Shadow Pass, and use the wolf as a medium to open a small portal to the Shadow Realm. It's possible we might be able to get them to help us."

Starla stares at Cheshil.
"How can we get the shadows to help us? They're trying to kill us! And we've warred with them before. They're not going to jump up and help us right on the bat, even if they are threatened by Drake."

"I usually pass through that realm in only a split second. I'm still not sure why, but like I said, when I used it that one time I stumpled upon the shrine in the other realm. It just stopped me there, instead of where I was heading."
"Which made me loose my lunch.... I swear, if I ever see that theif again, he will die."
Dragus shakes his head.
"Anyways... I basicly have no clue where these shrines are, so I can't just use it and hope to land in these pockets...."
Dragus notes on what the others are saying, and takes the staff out of the fire, which returns to normal.

Cheshil looked to Starla.
"The enemy of your enemy is your friend. The purges killed more Shadows then we ever have. Of course, as long as Dragus doesn't bring his book, I think it's possible."
Cheshil smiled a little.
"I studied Shadows a bit in the future. It seems that they weren't very happy with the Shadow Lord's rule either. It's possible we could convince them..."
