Elise bit back a yelp as someone picked her up. What have I gotten myself into?! she thought. The person took her through several familiar halls, then several unfamiliar ones. They finally stopped in a strange room she had never seen before, and Elise tried to get a better look at the man's face. She froze as she saw a mask was covering it. Is this the man whose face nobody has seen? The Shadow? she shuddered at the thought.
"I-I'm very sorry, sir! I didn't mean to be out of my position! The maids in the kitchen sent me to find out what the guards were doing!" Elise lied. Whether this man was the Shadow or not, he was still higher in status than her. She hoped and prayed to her God that he would buy her excuse.

"That isn't why I brought you here." the shadow said, his voice flowing like a gentle breeze passing through her ears.

The Queen looked at him, "Whatever do you mean?"

"How do you expect me to work with the shitty materials you stuck me with?" he said. "Weak metals, rusty tools, a shop with barely enough room to move let alone actually work!"

"I thought you were supposed to be the best." She said smugly. "Can't you work with anything?"

Elise kept her eyes glued to the floor, not daring to look up. "Then what is it you need?" she asked quietly, shaking ever so slightly.

"Look lady, you've got three options. One: you give me some top grade materials and a decent workplace; Two: you give me the money to buy said materials; or three: you keep acting like a snarky b***h, deny my offer, and I'll kill all your knights, take their armor, melt them down into the tools and metals I need, and build my store out of their bones!"

Queen Serenity snapped her fingers, the way she called the Shadow. He always answered, and if he didnt, something was very wrong. She turned back to him. "I wouldn't do that if I wee you. Not all of the knights are as small and hardly worked as you. They have trained since birth. They could eat your bones for breakfast."

the shadow led Elise back to the kitchen after the Queen summoned him. "You called?"
"Just give me the materials I requested when I first came here, and don't hold back on me."

She turned to the Shadow, "I just wanted you here in case this turned ugly. She turned back to him, looking like she forgot the Shadow was there, "I would give you the metal you request, but what do I get in return?"

"Fifty percent, and you can kill five people. Death doesn't bother me." She turned to the Shadow. "What do you think?" She trusted his opinion, though she never saw his face.

"fifty. FIFTY PERCENT?! No. no, no, no, never in all of eternity will that ever happen. Ten percent of all yearly profits, free weapon repair for your warriors, and twenty percent off the exclusive items." he bargained.
"Sounds good to me, but I'm not really a businessman" shadow said after hearing the man's last proposal.

She frowned, "Fine. Do you need any workers? I have slaves and maids all around the castle. You can get one."
(I can make another character. OR get someone else to)

"I could use an extra hand around. Mind if I look around for one I like?" he asked.
((hey lykaios, think mebbe Elise could work for Jak?))
Shadow disappeared now that he was no longer neaded. He left the castle to do some investigating.
