"You, Shadelia, are a puzzle," Isaac replied. "Shadin is this great, all-powerful Shadow God, and you're fighting him with the exact same power, more Shadows. It's a wonder the universe is not covered in darkness."

"There is a difference in the types of Shadow, Isaac. I am a Shadow created when a light is cast on an object. A Shadow from the side of the Light. Shadin is a Shadow created where there is no Light. There is no true support behind him, driving him, or creating him, only the constant threat that the same Light that creates me will destroy him." Shadelia explained, showing a rare, understanding side to her personality. "The tried and true statement that we all have Light and Darkness inside of us still stands, but it is my belief that it depends on what your Shadows are made from, and if you view the Light as destroying who you are, or creating who you hope to become. The attempts of our army are not just driven by the Light, they are Shadow-driven as well. Also, another thing to remember in reference to the Darkness is that it is matter of perspective- they fear Shadin and the Darkness created by the lack of Light, but none fear the Shadows cast by the Light. They are the same power, but the perspective of the user casts the feelings others experience, just as tone of voice conveys different messages to different people."
