((Sorrrryyyy! I thought I did post and was just waiting for you. I get funny headaches when I write as Atreyu. It feels strangely familiar sometimes and... I dunno, I am working on a post now. Sorry again
Lots of love, Coryn~

Atreyu watched and listened with half interest, half boredom. He just wanted to get things rolling but apparently the Gizmo had to tell a story, which was good. Atreyu liked stories.

Keena looked at Gizmo intently. "It was the Shadows." "The Shadows?" Keena asked. "Honestly?" "Keena, I'm a supercomputer, and the brain you gave me does not give me the ability to lie." "Good point." "But yes, the shadows. For millions of years, I have kept many readings over the land, mainly the fact that I have tried studying "magic", a concept I have yet to understand. Being mechanical, I have never fully seen the means or the use of magic. But anyways, a couple of days ago I picked up on a rather strange energy signature. I focused on it, and it seemed to be made of pure darkness, no light energy surrounded the figure, or even reflected off of the figure. It was simply pure darkness. It was quite large, spanning many polymer fields. It seemed to focus in on Chian, and when he jumped Time, the creature struck. I read Chian's power surge, the release when he jumped, and I found that the creature jumped with him somehow, and that Chian went back in Time, but can no longer return, and I have also studied you, to find that you can no longer control your Time powers. I am afraid to say that Silver and Coryn now have more control over Time than yourself." "Coryn?" "The winged creature. Ten million years has taught me much, creator." "I see. So where did this shadow come from?" "I cannot say for certain, but I do know that they came from a realm who's energy signature is very foreign to me. My closest guess would be Hell, but the energy also refers to Heaven, odd enough." "So it came from both?" "On the contrary, it came from neither. My best guess would be to say that it came from a realm known to Men as Purgatory."

Silver flicked her tail and listened with partial interest. Super computers were strange in every world she had been in that used them, but by far this Gizmo thing was the strangest. It had a personality, more like the androids she had seen once. Only smaller. And the fact that he knew Atreyu's other name was a little startling. Normal attitude returning, Silver approached the men and Gizmo, "So what your saying is we are dealing with demons, spirits, and other such biblical nonsense? Fun, I love smashing around biblical figures. When do we kill?"

"Not biblical figures." Gizmo said. "And not Demons, these are no rabid Andro, and spirits do not come in the forms of Shadows, nor do they ever interfere with magic. No, we are talking about a being that had not been introduced into biblical teachings. No records that the Gods have passed to humans record the Shadows or their master." "Who is their master?" Keena asked. "I do not know, but whoever it is they are strong. I can sense many more shadows in the realm that the first came from. I can tell you that the last Time the Shadows ever stepped foot on earth was 5968 years after you attacked the Ceros." "That was aeons ago." "Yes, and they have returned. Possibly for their revenge. I am sure that their master is not happy for his defeat." "So he chooses now to attack?" "Keena, I speak of infinity as I speak of one. Many to me means near none, but as I say many I mean millions. Shadows enough to engulf the earth in blackness. Speaking of which... You," Gizmo now addressed Atreyu. "I heard that earlier, after you arrived, you slandered the name of this planet, disgraced that it was not named after earth. Well I tell you now that if you knew anything about our planet you would know that this IS earth. The planet has not been named earth for nigh on nine million years, but I'll have you know that Sarmatia is an ancient word, older than the dirt in the ground. It happens to mean life. So do not say things you do not know anything of." Gizmo turned back to Keena. "The only way to confront these shadows and their master is to jump Time, which would mean a shadow or its energy would interfere and cause you to, depending on your jump location, be stuck in that Time, or be sent to Purgatory." Keena sighed. "Let's go then."

"Well, that'd explain the familiar twang of this place, then. I live on Earth from time to time in the period of 2180. But after so many years and changes, the signature of it is a little different. "Alright, so we are not kicking Biblical figure butt. Fine. Let's go kick shadow butt then. Either way, I want to kill."

Gizmo faced the girl and released a strange, robotic laugh. "You amuse me, Silver Fang. I am glad that Itsaki did not send you home immediately. Yes, I know that you lived on Earth far in the past. I can pick up your traces anywhere on the planet. You have a distinct.... in human terms, taste. The best way I can translate it to non-electrical curcuit would be the taste of copper, with a hint of mint and lime, with a carbonated tang and a sweet aftertaste. I have tasted you many times. Besides Keena and Brian, you are the only one in the past who I have felt jump Time and place. In 2180, I believe you saw Ariel, and in 2172, you met Brian. In 2183, you happened to chance upon seeing the rarest flower in the galaxy, a small yellow flower with blue stamin, and a bright red stem. I can tell you the location of the other three if you wish to know. I could also tell you your true name, in many languages. You have been my favorite charactyer to follow, Silver, and that was why I was, happy, but extremely surprised when you showed up here, Shalika'nosk. And believe me, you will have the chance to kill, and kill many." Keena listened with a surprised and amused expression. Sometimes, he didn't even know what he had created.

"Shalika'nosk, eh? That's what I am called in this time and place? Well, I'd really like it if you didn't say my true name in my native language, if you know it. That wouldn't do good things for me. But call me Shalika'nosk all you like. It appeals to me. As do you and all your information on me. A little freakish and stalker-like, but net nonetheless." She leaned back on her heels, "I remember that flower. It tasted good." She blinked her icy blue eyes, then regarded Gizmo again, "I like you. Your interesting." She picked him up and plopped him on her shoulder in an immodest way, "So, when do we leave and where are we going?"

Atreyu was dumbfounded to hear the silver talking thing say his given name. All he could hope was that it had taken less interest in him than in Silver. He really didn't want anyone knowing his true name, especially since he didn't actually know it himself. Then the thing attacked him saying he was slandering their planet. From what he remembered all he did was express how it made more since to name the land earth and express his general boredom in the world. Certainly an allowable feeling. It appeared to like Silver almost as much as he did, suprisingly that did not bring jealousy, or anything, how could one not like Silver? He waited as Silver picked up the Gizmo, he waited for things to get going. He didn't like the sound of these shadows but he did like the idea of fighting alongside Silver. He was ready. But first. . . "You know. At first I wouldn't really consider what I said as slandering but sure call it that. I slander the name of your world, and your very own names. You know why? Becuase I don't care what you think or do. My slandering your world should mean nothing becuase all it is is what I think, and generally, my thoughts won't hurt you. So if any of you want to get all pissy with me, go ahead. There isn't much you can do. Whatever you do though, you should propably wait until the problem is over becuase the threat that is being talked about seems to be dangerous. Weakening ourselves would be stupid" Coryn had to get that off of his chest. If he hadn't he propably would have done something stupid later on. He was prepared for what any of them might do, it seemed that everyone was very hot-headed, leaning towards violence in this place.

Gizmo turned in the avian's general direction. "Gizmo..." Keena warned. "Oh, no." Gizmo hopped off of Silver's shoulder, extending his legs as he dropped, so that when he landed, he stood at about shoulder height to the creature. "Listen, Narok'for, I have not said a thing about your planet, Terra, nor have I disrespected your name, so I tell you now, Therian-nasor ak, to discontinue your disrespect, for if you do not, I will have Itsaki disrespect your wings from your back." His legs extended another few inches. "I now expect, Akir, to keep your disrespectful opinions to yourself, silently, where not even a thought-reader can hear them, lest I decide to kill you." His legs extended until he was several inches higher. His four spidery, metal legs now made him about five feet, eight inches high. "I also expect, Nasor Derik, to remain silent, for very soon, you shall either continue your current streak of continuing my hate, and I shall feed you to a Shadow, or you will regain my simple dislike, and I shall not have you killed. You should very well care what I think and what I do, and your opinions, do not hurt me, but they are disrespectful." A thought occured to Gizmo. He turned to Keena quickly. "Call Osira." "No, I cannot do that." "Call Osira. He will deal with this wretched beast." Keena sighed. Osira, Titan of Earth, was far more formidable opponent than any, and he was also the most vengeful. "We cannot have him killed now, you have given hoim no chance." "Then swear to me that if he goes back on my slight trust, you summon Osira." "Nera mak, seio laten, 'ser." "Good." He turned back to Coryn. "Your true name shall now be Derik Shalo Nasik'dek. Shame and Disgrace Among Strangers. It is now your true name in every language, less I revoke it. If you give me reason to make it worse, I will have to name you Darik Hos'dek, Shamed Wingless One."

Coryn almost luaghed, the thing made a very good show of things. He didn't though, he wasn't one for respect but what the thing thought it would do was just wrong. He wouldn't even change the name of his most hated enemy. It left a tingling feeling as his name was changed and then swiftly changed back. Elemental lords didn't like their favored subjects being changed. If any of them tried more, the easy going Lord of Wind and Air might just convince his brother, Fire, to revoke their ability of creative thought, as was Fire's gift, or maybe just take their rage from them. That would be funny. Everyone on this world seemed to get very angry and it would be interesting to see them unable to act like such. Certainly if anything else was affected upon Coryn, he would certainly be pulled out of Sarmatia and back to Terra. That would suck becuase they might not think to take Silver too . Coryn looked at the flimsy legs of the puffed up robot. It was like a child born into royalty and power. The kind of child who would have their best friend decapitated becuase they wouldn't play his games. Sarmatia gave too much power to those who weren't willing to be equal to commoners. "You can call me whatever you want becuase it won't hurt me." He said in a passive, easy-going voice. "Just think about this, next attack made on me will propably be taken as an act of agression, and it propably will be treated as such. Don't you have enough problems dealing with the shadows? Or do you want an inter-world war? Now, it's very good you didn't attack a fire adept becuase the elemental Lord of Fire would likely not be as calm as Wind, right now there is no harm done so please don't attempt anything. I am offering you my help and you don't appear to care. If you don't want my help I will still be here though. Silver Fang is here. I have no wish to get in a fight with you so why don't you cool your temper and deal with the problem at hand?" He sighed. That wouldn't be enough for them. "Look. You hold to this honor or whatever way more than I am used to. On Terra I would just be considered an ass, sometimes people would say things back, but no-one really took to much offense to it much. I am not looking to cuase trouble, and if you see it that way then I apologize. Please realize that what I say shouldn't be taken too seriously, unless I tell you I am being serious, and I will try to avoid offending any of you. Deal?" Public relations and trying to over act to avoid offense. It was almost painful. He hoped Wind wasn't being slow to act. That wasn't normally the case but sometimes the Elemental Lord of Wind and Air was and whenever he was slow It usually was the calm before the Tempest... Atreyu shivered. Never, never, never ever again did he want to see that. Ever.

Gizmo glanced at the avian. "I simply ask that you do not disrespect my planet." He climbed back onto Silver's shoulder, his legs now only a few inches long. "So how do we get to the Shadow Realm, exactly?" Keena asked Gizmo. "Jump Time." "A shadow will disrupt?" "Yes." "Where?" "There are many Shadows in the room now, they are simply in a dimension where they have no physical properties." Keena sighed. He closed his eyes and reached out towards Coryn and Silver, grabbing onto their minds, in a figurative way. Gizmo made sure he was in contact with Silver. Keena concentrated on a Time, a random Time, and released the Timestream energy. There was a disturbance, Keena could feel it. Then he felt the pull of gravity towards his destination Time. And then the pull ended. He opened his eyes and he, Coryn, Silver, and Gizmo were suspended in nothing. There was no pull, however slight. "Welcome to the Shadow Realm." Gizmo said. "Yes," said an echoing voice, a loud bass that came from everywhere, but seemed to come from no where, "I have been expecting you, Keena."

"Oh by the Gods." Silver mumbled as the two argued. She had little care for such petty behavior on either of their behalf, so she simply turned away and admired the location. The wolf woman was startled back into reality by a weird sensation, and she looked over to see Gizmo perched on her shoulder again. Suddenly Keena was touching her mind, which automatically forced Silver's lip to curl up in irritation and her tail to arch imperiously. But the wild wolf controlled her instincts and allowed him to drag her off to another dimension. "Well, this is exciting." Silver said sarcastically, crossing her arms. "When do we get to kill omnipotent voice?"
