"Well...it looks like I'm on my own....hopefully Kaika's here. That whole mishap back in the Spirit World...I'm pretty sure she was drawn into the mess too..." Sota muttered to himself as he treaded along, he could hear voices. That was either a good thing...or a bad thing. Whatever he did would determine that... Silently, he slid over to a large tree to stand behind of. [i]Never thought I had to resort to using these...things again...hoping it isn't too much strain...[/i] Sota thought as he tapped into some of the cursed powers he got from having a demon in his body, summoning a single Shadow Replica. From a glance, a Shadow Replica appeared like a humanoid shadow, a solid form of shadow with haunting red eyes. "Go..." Sota muttered under his breath, the Shadow Replica obeying his command as it sunk into the ground as a loose formless shadow. Within the ground, this Shadow Replica went to where this "camp" was, those dim but luminous red eyes peered from the formless shadow under them. Whatever this Shadow Replica saw or heard, Sota would see and hear the same.

though, this was just a Shadow Replica, and it's appearance inside the ground as a wandering shadow was quite peculiar. Sota never thought on how fast the Shadow Replica would be found out.
