Shadow's Resurrection
They say that you must walk into death, and embrace it, in order to be free of it. In truth? It is more like dying more than once, only to experience pain unrivaled as your soul is ripped from the nether realm, and slammed back into your body. This was Shadow's experience.
Not meaning to Obfuscate things, but knowledge of the process was lost. Shadow had been called back into the realm after his departure to the nether realm by Shima Umioso. Shadow raced to her call, when she yelled for him. But it was strange tidings. He found himself in an underground labyrinth, his form barely stable now. He fought for every second against the impending doom the darkness promised. But he was so tired. So very tired. Shadow walked forth into the unknown, as Shima requested, There they met a man. A man who, by many counts, should have been dead, but instead lived beyond his abilities. Shima knew this man, and so did Shadowfire. The man would act benign, and ask Shadow to die once more. And so he did. When it was time, Shadow strolled into the portal, and lost himself. Nothingness held him suspended, and he lost his memory. It was so cold. Who was he? Shadow could not remember. Then the searing pain. As if every part of him roasted in the fires of hell. But no... A breath entered his lips, and filled his lungs.. His heart beat faintly. He was alive once more.
Through obscure means, Shadow had his body recreated, and thus, he was once more formed in his flowing stature. After he was alive once more, Shadow made the trek to home, making a stop to visit his friend, Raijin Hikari, in Sungakure. After completing his visit, he continued on home where he was welcomed back by, none other than, Shima Umioso. After a warm homecoming, Shadow settled down. However, there were things that changed him, during his time in the world of the dead. He retained his ability to see auras, and still uses it constantly. He also still retains the touch of madness he acquired during his time as a specter. Sometimes it shows when he randomly states something, or his demeanor shifts oddly. There is no explination for his actions, and due to this, Shadow has lost some of the calm peace of mind he had strived for so vigorously in his past life.
So changes occurred, and Shadow is somewhat different now. What the future holds, one can only guess.
