I handed both the book and the scarf to Demitri. He set the book on the floor and calmly wrapped the golden scarf around his fist. He clasped his hands together through the scarf, held them to his bowed head, and closed his eyes. He stood like that for a while.
What are you . . . I didnt get to finish my sentence. Suddenly, the scarf began to change colour. (I think Silvers rubbing off on me. >.<) It went from the silky gold it was before to a deep onyx black, so dark it seemed to be adsorbing the light around it. There was a faint blood red glow around the edges. Before I could react, he launched downward, toward my shadow. He jabbed his fist right into it, really, into it, slowly at first, but soon the red glow reached all around my shadow.
