Shadow Soul

"'O', t-this? The one who sprains in wait after the backs of all and sundry? That.....hm, it - or rather, him, is a creature whose nature is beyond even my cognition, and appeared before me one day in sudden. He drew nigh from the cosmos, running from something we couldn't comprehend. I did not quite understand him. Not even til now, no matter the years we have stuck as one. He mimics the shadow. My shadow, or perhaps he now is my shadow. But I conveyed no dread, for we toiled against all odds, furthermore have we dealt with each other. He had proved more than enough to be my worthy companion - next to you, of course. This one thing you see here is not a senseless killer or an omen of evil. He is just like me, misread from the beginning.'""- Pen elucidating his unlikely companion to the heroes after the fall of Aiuz'acna"
