"No, no, noooo!!! Curse it! Curse everything! Curse them all!"

A loud, crashing noise as a vase was flung across the room violently, its delicate ceramic fracturing into thousands of fragments.

"Possessor!"

The one called 'Possessor' silently stepped forward, his face completely hidden from view by a long, dark hood wholly overshadowing his features. Only his eyes, dark and sinister, could be seen glittering from beneath the hood maliciously. He made no attempt to speak a word; he merely stood as still as a statue, almost seeming to blend in with the surroundings.

"Come, Possessor. We've got work to do. The sooner we get down to it, the better. Bring Shadow along. He may just be the one we need."

Another figure loomed up discreetly besides them, so unexpectedly and silently that it would have startled anyone else. But Anna Whitestar and Possessor gave no indication of shock whatsoever. Possessor merely kept his gaze fixed intently ahead of them, as if seeing things no-one else could see, while Anna smiled slowly, very slowly, as if a feeling of satisfaction could not come along quickly enough. Like Possessor, Shadow was just as enigmatic-looking, clad in garments as shadowy as her name and features: dark, wispy and not quite there somehow. Were it not for her gauzy black cloak and hood which gleamed a distinct black, she might as well have been completely invisible to view.

"Come, both of you. We've got work to do. Shadow." Anna spoke the name almost as a command.

A peculiar smile, eerily emotionless and yet chilly at the same time, spread over Shadow's odd, hidden face. With never a word, she raised her two long, pale hands towards the ceiling, and shut her cold dark eyes. From around them, a cloak of dark, mysterious shadows arose, enveloping the trio in a garment of darkness.

And then the three of them were gone, lost to view, with never a sound nor sight to indicate where they had vanished to.
