     "Okay, can you get off of me now?" Klaus said clearly annoyed.

"No," I replied, snickering. Klaus started flailing and screaming. He was such a frickin princess. I stepped off of his back and he stood up immediately, glaring at me. Klaus' face was bright red from embarrassment. For some reason Shadow's seemed to have terrible self confidence and seemed to stereotypically think that showing emotions was considered a weakness. If anyone else saw me take down Klaus so easily he probably would have murdered me instantly. Instead he just stormed away still blushing yelling over his shoulder, "Stay out of trouble, and I mean it this time," Klaus clearly didn't know me that well. The first thing I resort to when being locked away from where I want to go is causing chaos for the person who is responsible. I walked back down the hallway forgetting entirely why I was in this part of the castle anyways.

     I wondered around a bit before I found myself in the basement again. Klaus' hydra was sleeping in the middle of the wreckage from earlier. It had taken most of the debris and piled it up and was sitting on top of it like it was some sort of bounty of treasure. If my memory served correct the hydra's name was Shi, which was Japanese for death. Most of the labyrinth was destroyed like the rest of the dimension. I walked away from the hydra not wanting to wake it. I walked through thw hallways bored at hell. There was no one here other then me and Klaus. Usually this place was littered with my kin, most of which were busy with castle stuff. I was terrible at explaining how this dimension was run. All I really understood was that Klaus was the king or emperor or however you want to say it and I was a princess. I guess as a princess I should know a lot more about how my dimension was run and all the jobs and such but nope, I honestly couldn't care less.

     I walked up to the tower I was locked in. I unlocked the door and fell on the bed. Since there was absolutely nothin interesting to do (talking to Klaus was about the most boring thing ever) I lay there and just let my mind wander. After a few minutes of random thinking I somehow ended up asking myself how Shadow Demons even came to exist. I remember Klaus lecturing me once, ranting about the fact that we were created to take down the Divines and then after getting our asses kicked we had to help them somehow. I had no clue. I never payed attention to Klaus' rants and I had terrible memory anyway.

    By this point I was beyond being bored. At least if Ra decided to come back I would have some company other than the gay spazz. I wandered back down to the throne room. At least Klaus wasn't making out with Moon this time. Instead he wasn't there at all, which probably was worse. I'm not usually scared of something until I don't know where that something went. I walked outside the castle and started to float. Out of loneliness I went into an attempt to find some survivors. Everyone seemed to have disappeared. I floated around some more. There was nothing. No animals, no shadows, no sign of life for crying out loud. I headed back to the castle disappointed. Walking into the throne room again I found Klaus who was pacing behind his broken throne. "Hey Klaus, what happened to everybody?!" I yelled my voice echoing off the stone walls.

     Klaus turned to face me and stopped pacing, "No clue, Apophis could have possibly eaten their souls or they all ran away because they realized you were staying here,"

     I folded my arms and glared at him,"What if Apophis ate their souls, you seem awfully calm about losing pretty much all the inhabitants or your dimension."

"Well when the Divine people do their job of sealing him up again the souls will all be released,"

'Wait, so you're just going to let others do all the work for you?!" I asked a bit shocked. Klaus just nodded. "Even though the leader of that dimension saved yours, you aren't going to help him reseal the snake thing?!" I was pretty mad at him by this point.
