Re: Gossamer Falls Woods
((From what you're saying after rereading it with more hours of sleep, then Yuuki's shroud will have minimal effect on Mia's "shadow abilities" asides from making her pay prices she doesn't have to pay. Mia's been "trapped" in the heavens belonging to an "elder god of light" before, where no shadows exist. Although it was a narrow escape, she ended up spending a huge amount of power to forcibly "tear a hole" in that realm with no natural link to the shadows, she managed to still force enough to allow her to make her escape. The only question is, how "long term" are the effects of the shroud? Do they last until she realizes she's being tricked? Or will they fade over time?))
"You're as distasteful as that accursed god of light old one, however even in the abyss, as long as I provide a sufficient "payment" my shadow cannot be deterred even by the mightiest of gods. Such is my contract with the realm, which not even you will be able to erase should you be "Apocalypse". Nor can you erase the power with which I already possess."
Done speaking with her opponent, Mia began chanting an enigmatic incantation in a forgotten language. The closest translation would likely be something along the lines of "The realm of shadow whom I have contracted my existence, as persay our agreement I order thee to return me to thee, and tear about these barriers which dare to part us. I offer to thee the very ebbing flow within me, crush any boundaries in our way and deliver to me thy salvation."
Channeling a large portion of her power, Mia attempted to "force" a portal of shadow to appear beneath her, resolute in her "trust" towards the realm with which her predecessors had always pacted with. However, as she failed to realize she was still in a mortal plane which possessed far weaker "boundaries" than the abyss in which all worlds were situated in, this caused the portal beneath her feet in reality to expand exponentially out of control, growing far beyond the far intended limit. Even if its master was disabled, so long as it received a command, it would comply regardless of the master's original intentions.
((Well, this is the course of action Mia would usually take should she be "trapped" in a place without shadow that she believed she had to escape from. As the realm is an entirely different existence, and theoretically "bound" to serve her regardless of her condition in accordance to the price she offers, she uses it as a rather "drastic escape route". Note that the portal won't do anything to the rest really unless Mia "orders" the realm to allow everyone through. Either way though, this allows me to "get rid of" the power Mia obtained by "unlocking the first seal", since I can miff it as her having sacrificed it in exchange for "escape".))
