Snippet #2321235

Zelig laughed when the boy thanked them needlessly and told them that they had favors from him. The demon honestly wanted to know how the child got here in the first place. One whiff was all he needed to tell that they had been brought here by magic. But who's... Or maybe what's...

"I guess I need to find some sort of authority figure, maybe he will help me find my friends if they have seen them...Do you know of a place like that?"

Sute blanched at the thought of finding an officer to help them but looked at Zelig for help. The shadow talked for her so if he had an idea, she'd follow through, for the most part.

"Ah, well... I particularly don't like to use authority for anything other than catching criminals..." The shadow shuddered violently at the thought. The knights here reminded them both of the ones from Gar and did almost anything to avoid them. "How about I use a very special power, the one I was referring to earlier." Sute looked at her shadow in mild disbelief but led the foreign boy into the alley none the less. She hoped that her friend and guide knew what he was doing, showing the boy more of their secrets. The shadow, now just a single black tendril, slithered down her arm and touched the shadows that masked the alley for view. Sute twitched as he pulled slightly on her spine but was still once again, watching the boy's reactions.

"Come forth my brethren and hear my call. I am searching for two very different people, females of the human species. One with wild red hair like flames and the other with pink, like a jewel. I command you to do my bidding and locate them. Then report back to me. Do not harm them, though." Zelig's voice was heard echoing in the darkness as the shadows began to stir around them. They rose slightly, wiggling fingers that danced slightly before the flattened again, spreading out past the alley and onto the streets. No one noticed when their shadow moved differently than they did or when they seemed to look for something.

"Phew..." Zelig sighed as he regained his snake form. "I swear they can be so rebellious at times..." Sute only shook her head and leaned against the wall of a building, her eyes following the movements of the shadows. A couple stopped at certain places before they continued. "Honestly, Cole-human, if your friend's hairstyles were average, this would be quite harder!" The snake hissed, giving a lopsided grin to the boy. "Now, why don't you tell an old shadow how you ended up here? You certainly aren't native."
