She stared at the image intently. Only Valhalla could identify him. I don't think he'd help me. I couldn't Convince Manex, how could I convince Valhalla. Once a Shadow doesn't trust you its almost impossible to gain it back. And their wrath grows unquenchable. If only I could find the right way....Shandrak stared into the nothingness. She didn't want to be there. There was a way out but she feared it more than anything. None from the light would venture there. No shadow had ventured there... the out-tah-world. Some called it the underworld, but it was inappropriate since it wasn't the true underworld.
The Portal keeper had made a maze and puzzle of ways to travel throughout the dimensions. There were many keys to many things which unlocked the secrets to life and other wonders, some unfathomable. Only the Eternal one knew everything, and he was on the very top... unreachable. Valhalla was the bottom. But outside was unknown. Infinite vasts were incomprehensible by mortals, and only partly understood by eternals. High eternals knew even more. Shandrak was made special and was designed like Pandora's box, only it could not be opened by force. Once opened you couldn't simply reach in and take it... it had to be given, and if she diminished it would be lost forever.
"Did you steal some of the Portal Keepers keys?" She asked into the nothingness. "I know you can travel within the void, but Terrellia was protected... what else did you have your puppet Manex do for you Valhalla? Did you hide the truth from him because you were afraid he'd end up like Mordihm?" She turned and fashioned a whirl of wind and in it a mirror looking thing where she could watch her memory of the last time she saw him. She was determined to identify the destroyer. Her mother had forbade it before, The Light Mother wanted her to disassociate with the void after completing her work.... but Shandrak felt that all realms needed each other, that their purpose was to work together to keep things going. Only someone screwed up and pitched things the wrong way. She wouldn't give up on trying to fix it. Even if it meant her end.
