*The book has opened on the page that says 'Timor scriptor commentarius'. Shadow mentally slaps herself for constantly forgetting to read it.*
Well...there's nothing stopping me now...
*She picks it up and flicks through a few pages. Stopping at one, she reads...*
"Dragons breath! My efforts have been wasted once again. The life force essence tore the new body apart. This is the longest it's been retained however. I was so close...but now I'll have to rethink my theory again. For it's clear that a body that once had life is no good at handling life again."
Huh? What's this supposed to mean?

*The pages begin to turn without Shadow touching them. It's as if an unseen hand is moving them, desperate to know what is written next.*

Whoa, hey, whoa whoa whoa!
*They flick through so suddenly that it startles Shadow. She clasps the pages with her thumbs to stop them turning.*
An enchanted book, perhaps?

*The book is still, but Shadow may now notice that the pages are colder to the touch than before.*

*Then the book jolts, as if in an attempt to remove itself from Shadow's grasp - or be removed.*

Phobos recites an incantation...* *...And Shadow disappears, still holding the book. The magic used on her is powerful enough to sweep her out of consciousness. When she awakes - if she awakes - she will be somewhere else, but will only be aware of darkness, aches, echoes and the faintest whiff of something smoky.* [OOC: I was informed that Shadow would be active again after the exam period was over, which I look forward to. If so, we'll continue in a new thread. If not, then sadly this will be the last we see of the character.]

Huuuuuuuuuuman!*Dinosaur Name has been skulking in the shadows for he knows not how long. [Modnote: Last seen in Dunshelm Ascending.] He's tried the direct attack enough times, but it has yet to prove successful. He's a professional dinosaur, he reminds himself, and hiding in shadows is a very professional way to stalk humans to bite. He's been waiting for hours... he thinks. He recognises this girl too, although can't recall a name. She appears, as far as Dinosaur Name can tell, to be preoccupied with a book. She's also heavily armed, although Dinosaur Name reminds himself of how sharp his teeth are. He doesn't really want to hurt anyone, he reasons... just bite. Just one small bite. He's only a small dinosaur.* Here goes... quietly this time...*And he runs forward, practically on tiptoes, as rapidly and as quietly as he can manage, not making any sound from his mouth, which is wide open, ready to close around human flesh.* Yes...*The girl vanishes into thin air and Dinosaur Name, who genuinely wasn't expecting this to happen, runs right through her dissipating form. Propelled forwards, he continues at breakneck speed, eyes wide in surprise, trying to bring himself to a stop.* No!*He screeches to a halt just a little too late. As he reaches the very edge of the Sewers of Goth, he skids, overbalances, flails a little, and falls with a tiny splash into the green water.*
