Dante stopped and turned to look at him, stunned. “Wait, shadow powers? Without a contract or spell work? How is that possible?”
Ash blinked, feeling the shadows relax and calm down for the first time in weeks for her. She looked at the elf and said “how…wait, you can control them? I thought…” she moved to the side a bit, the room tilting a bit from the shock of all of this. She held her forehead and muttered “I don’t…dad said…there wasn’t…others…but I guess he meant like mother…or me…” she was still shaking as she tried to keep upright, her body a mess.
