There was no evidence of any shadow creature, or spy. Shadow Demon made a bad move, or his master did by threatening to destroy Quake. Once a creature of that particular was created it can only be undone by the creator. In this case it was Alyson.
She stretched after she 'relieved' herself and walked right into the ranger, "Oof!"
“Easy, Alyson,” Willow Bark forced a smile as he held up his hands, “It is just me.”
Looking at the area where Shadow Demon had previously hovered, The Ranger added, “I see you have dispatched Venger’s toadie once more. It is a good habit to have if there ever was one.”
The elementalist brushed her hair back over her shoulders, "Uh-huh. And how would you dispose of Venger's spy? You are no wielder of light magic or at least none that I have not seen yet."
Turning back to the Elementalist, the Ranger added, “But that is not why I wish to talk to you now. Please walk with me as we make our way back to the others and I will explain myself as we go along.”
Walking side by side with The High Lady of Storm Haven, Willow Bark began, “Alyson, I shall cut straight to the heart of the matter, let it go! Let go of your anger and your rage and your hatred before it consumes you. When I look at you, I see little of the woman that I have come to love and adore above all other women.”
"Obviously you didn't listen to Seriah, did you? The less you pester me, the sooner I will revert to my old self." She sighed kicking at the dirt, "In other words, you wouldn't grab a bull by the horns after it was all rialled up would you? No, you give it LOTS of space and leave it alone to COOL off."
Stopping for a minute, The Ranger looked into The Elementalist’s eyes, “I cannot see your heart! It is as if you are possessed. As if a dark spirit is consuming everything that is good and noble and just within you. Alyson, you have vanquished your nemesis among the Mercy Clan, you have dispatched Shadow Demon, has there not been enough blood shed this day to sate your dark spirit? What more do you want?”
"Dark. Light. They balance each other. I am neutral when it comes to the nature of magic. My nemesis? Ha! Ha! Ha! You're funny, you know that. Granted if the Mercys were actually capable of showing mercy, things might have gone differently. But they didn't."
“I see,” Willow Bark deadpanned, “If you wish to be alone and if you wish for me to no longer ‘pester’ you, then I shall trouble you no more.”
With that said The Ranger continued to walk side-by-side with The Elementalist but did so in complete silence.
"A word, ranger?" Seriah cut in between Willow and Alyson before he could react.
Returning to Irzen and Tommy’s side, Willow Bark addressed them both, “We have returned, my friends, what shall we do now?”
The assassin politely steered the elf off to one side leaving Alyson, Irzen, and Tommy together. "Seriously, ranger, you must give my former student space. Lots of space." She looked directly at Willow studying him for moment and gave him his space a few feet away. "Do not be offended be her actions. I'm sure you've come close to having dark days at some point in your long life. Tell me, why is an elf of high statis this far away from his homeland?"
Seriah was an excellent judge when it came figuring out where someone hailed from. What type of clothing and embroidery was put into tailoring such fine outfits.
