Gravity of Tethered Shadows

----

As Apollo entered the Tethered Shadow Origin Room, the door closed behind him almost immediately. As that happened, Xezym rose from Sapphyr's shadow, "Lady Sapphyr, it seems that child has a destiny with darkness. The amount of times the Headmaster has allowed such a thing to be done can be counted on hand. Do you believe she has taken interest in him?"

Sapphyr's looked at Xezym with an equally interested expression, "It may be possible. To enter the Tethered Shadow Origin Room, you know what that means. There's a chance he'll contract with a spirit similar to you."

Unlike a regular area, the Tethered Shadow Origin Room was special. The environment was created by an artifact that came from a world specialized in utilizing shadows. As a result, anyone who trained inside without already possessing a contracted Spirit would be more inclined to contract with such a being.
