"Your name is a word given to you to be called by. If you are nothing, then your name means nothing which means your actions are nothing which means you do not exist, or live," Meirion finished. Even she was confused now. "It's nothing to do with the fact of your actual name. It's the fact that you don't live up to it. You are nothing. Not even worthy of a name. An it."
Meirion looked around her wondering where he was. Suddenly, she was overpowered by a presence, her presence. "Eugh," she muttered as she was pushed onto the hard, stone cold floor. Blood scraped her skin and Meirion was sure she gained a couple of bruises.
Turning around, she wrestled with her shadow. When the attempts were futile, Meirion swore, "Blow this," she murmured.
With that, she closed her eyes, feeling the force of the shadow rip through her. Ruane grimaced with pain but carried on. Finding a suitable plain, her shadow suddenly disappeared into it, safe.
She opened her eyes, and stood, breathing raggedly, "A very clever trick. Where did you learn it," she spat.

'You would perhaps oblige me with an outline of the events that bring you to my humble plinth? I am starved of conversation you understand, which is vexing, pinioned as I am here on this lonely outcrop as the life of the fair city swirls round and past me. There is no wit, no variation to divert me from the depressing spectacle of the gentle men of the law strutting in and out of that magnificent theatre of lies opposite.' ~Biography
