As Yashoku was staggering down the hall he suddenly changed and looked alert.  He looked upward and his face showed some anger.  “People never respect shadows.”  He closed his eyes and the black skin of his right hand started to spread over his arm.  His arm got longer and it tapered in a little when it got away from joints.  The blackness went over his entire body and his clothes until he was covered in his own shadow.  He then started to grow as his limbs and midsection also tapered in a bit.  He was soon standing a full 11 feet tall with a humanoid body.  His face was featureless except for eyes and a mouth.  His eyes looked a little wet and shown in the low light.  He no longer gave off a shadow as he was now his own shadow.  He started to walk again and made no noise at all.  He soon found his way to a staircase.  He wondered if he should go up to find the person who was giving the shades trouble or to go downstairs and see who was down there.
