As Lamprey opens up a portal to the shadow dimension, he makes sure 4Q has everything

Alright, you have that essence that the shadows can use to get here for our trap?

“Yep, and I’m telling Shadow that Melody is miserable in a cage all because of you and that Shadow needs to save her?”

Correct, also take this device so you can show Shadow that Melody is in my sub-dimension, in the cage, and probably miserable, just maybe.

“Alright, I’m going. I have no weapons but armor, so if I die its your fault.”

I know, now get going.

4Q hops through the portal, appearing just outside the castle. She explains that she needs to speak with Queen Shadow, so the guards let her in with heavy security.

4Q “So this is the where she is?”

Shadow guard “Yes, we’ll be watching you in case you try to do anything.”

4Q “Alright.”

-Lamprey

Shadow you are to continue this (please) and then you can show up for my de- very cool plan, Lamprey definitely won’t die.
