Shalimar's PoV
"Nerissa, where's Xangord and Nogard?" I asked when I saw they were not in the basement.
"I needed them on me," Nerissa said, creating her hologram form next to me.
"But aren't you--"
"Yes."
"They didn't--"
"No."
"That's good," I replied. "Where's the ABC [+1] and Wynn?"
"Wynn and the ABC went to go check out a disturbance in section 6-15-24," Nerissa said. "Wynn ordered that you stay here."
"Two problems with that," I said, grabbing my hat. "First is that while Mom's gone and Xangord's not here, I'm in control. Second...Wynn should know that."
"But after what happened to Moochi," Nerissa said, "Wynn felt you would be safer here."
"Moochi was just a stupid dog," I said, heading out with my three silent Gwees following behind me.
It did not take me very long to find Wynn and the ABC. They were all lying unconsious on the ground with their shadows unnatually stretched to a single point. Out of that point rose a shadow demon in a fight with a small monkey. Guessing what had happened, I stared in shock. There was NO way I was powerful enough to fight a ten foot shadow demon all on my own--it'd suck out first my magical power then my life force through my shadow.
And since it had already managed to knock Wynn out and was sucking out her magical power; I did not think that even if Mom, Xangord, and Nogard joined forces that THEY'D be able to take it out. Wynn had an almost bottomless magical well.
Don't stand there with your jaw open you idiot.
She's scared! Cut her some slack!
This is a simple shadow demon. I ate these things for breakfast!
Don't listen to her. She lies.
What am I going to do? I can't fight that thing!
Yeah you can. Use my power.
For the love of Draco, do NOT use the Black Dragon's power against a Shadow Demon! It'd only make it stronger. Use mine. I am a White Dragon.
I'd stand a better chance though!
Use your head! If she was fighting a Light demon then she'd want to use your power instead of mine because it'd be polar opposites.
Whitey has a point. Just like she'd want to use my power, fire, when battling one of her own kind.
Don't call me Whitey.
Summoning the White Dragon's power, I released it in an unexpected, uncontrolled blast that sent me tumbling backwards.
