The song of healing still rung through his head.  The faint echos reminding him of what it took for him to get to this point.  Shadow was past moping about it, but the thoughts still lingered in the back of his mind: the want to heal.  He forgot how long he’d been sitting in this tree, or if anyone else had joined him on the forest floor.  Shadow didn’t care to check.

As the night drew on, the omen looming over this continent was a constant reminder to the city’s residence their mission.  Shadow wouldn’t forget.  Not again.  The Unholy yawned softly, he figured he had wandered off on his own for long enough.  Maybe he should rejoin his friend, or even get some shuteye.

Shadow pushed himself off of the trunk, oh so gracefully landing gently in the grass.  His feet making a soft: tup!  When they touched the ground.  He was about to start walking but he felt someone watching him.  If this were an enemy, this would be easy, he thought.

Ready to draw his sword, Shadow turned himself around.  His smug expression turned into a more confused one when the moonbeams gave him a hint of who might be in front of him.

“Vio...?”  His voice rang quietly after a long moment of silence from both parties.  Shadow wasn’t sure if this was some trick, by goddesses, he hoped it was.  He wasn’t ready for this.  The different emotions had already started to well up in his gut, whether the person in front of him was really Vio or not.  Just the very thought that the other was in front of him was beginning to overwhelm him, to say the least.
