Shafts of sunlight fell upon the rocks at the mouth of the cave, and a quiet dripping could be heard deep within the darkness. Stalactites hung like daggers guarding the entrance, and white quartz pebbles lay across the floor, scattered in a pattern less mess. Stepping into the mouth, Larii ran her hand through the air at the entrance, and the cave faded into the shadows of the forest. Stepping onto a larger quartz stone, she stared intently into the darkness at the end of the cave. Slowly the shadows began to writhe and squirm, and a young blonde girl appeared from the darkness. She looked remarkably like Larii, but Larii's black hair set them apart.
"Larii, my sister, why have you come here when you know you aren't welcome?" Larii brushed her long hair away from her bright green eyes before answering
"Jaycee, don't do this, you are a Shadow Caller, not an ally of the Light Demons, come with me, back home, it is where you belong" a sneer spread across Jaycee's face, and her dark eyes twinkled,
"You're a fool Larii, the Light Demons will show me their powers, soon I'll be stronger than you could ever be!" Larii frowned and a dark shadowy orb begin to grow from the palm of her left hand,
"Don't you see? The Light Demons are using you to learn the powers of a Shadow Caller, your kin will suffer if you do this, think of Salr!" Jaycee's eyes softened for a moment, but she hissed angrily and sent a beam of darkness shooting toward Larii. The shadow orb in Larii's hand absorbed the power, and she flung it at Jaycee, smashing her sister against the cave wall. Jaycee leaped to her feet and flung a dagger at Larii. Larii calmly stepped to the side, then flicked her wrist. A dagger sprouted from Jaycee's arm, and the blonde's eyes grew darker with rage.
"You aren't the only one who can bend shadows to her will!" Jaycee flicked her own rest, but the magic disappeared midair, and the shadows melted away from the weapon, revealing a long arrow barbed with silver prickles. Larii stepped to one side and caught the arrow, it disappeared from her hand and moments later it pinned Jaycee to the cave wall through the ripped sleeve of her long black dress. Suddenly Larii let out a pained gasp as another dagger embedded itself in her thigh. Jaycee let out a cold laugh
"The fine Element of distraction, used by every child of any tribe as they play their silly games! I never thought that you would fall for it." Larii winced as her leg buckled beneath her pain lancing up her spine.
"You may have one this time Jaycee, but I will stop your madness!" Larii pulled the shadows around herself like a cloak, and moved herself to her camp.
