Shadow scowled, looking at the beautiful oracle with a hint of dismay. He considered her words for a short while, then smiled coldly.
"You spoke a lot about the things you want, Lady Cassia. However…"

"And what do I care about your desires? You sent an abomination to attack me. You dragged me to the mortal realms against my will. And now, you seem to be demanding something from me without offering anything in return. I thought that you knew who I am a bit too well… but why does it seem like you have forgotten who is standing in front of you, instead?"
