Owner: _Tikal_'s heart This is what I believe to be the presence that I've felt around me all my life. Sometimes I feel safe around it and sometimes it scares me. It seems to have taken the form of the _Tikal_ I was 1,000 years ago....an Aisha. The only difference is...I was a blue Aisha, this one is black because it follows me around and acts as my shadow. Sometimes, particularly during the night, I can see it crouching in a corner in my room, either protecting me or waiting to strike. Now I know what Raibolt meant when I first met him. We were just getting out of the underground and our shadows were finally visible. That's when Raibolt said, "Your shadow is cooler than the others!!" I asked, "Why? It's just a shadow." He pointed at my shadow and replied with, "Your shadow looks like an Aisha!!" I looked down at it. It DID look like an Aisha. The only other NeoPet besides me that can see how my shadow is an Aisha is Raibolt. To the others, whom I have already asked, the shadow looks like a Gelert, like me. Maybe I sould ask the shadow what it wants, but I'm afraid to becuase it might reveal something bad that will happen in the near future....or something like that. Whenever I make eye contact with it, it always does this thing with its eyes that scares me....it makes its eyes glow green. Raibolt, the only one who is able to view it besides me, has never seen its eyes glow green. Maybe the shadow is merely a dream.....or maybe it's just a piece of my past that is coming back to haunt me...maybe I had another destiny in the past that I couldn't fulfil because of a young death....
