Mysterious Shadowy Figure

Appeared in the basement of House D'ore after Lord D'ore captured Arsis and Rubeus. The mysterious, shadowy figure stabbed Lord D'ore and transported Arsis and Rubeus to a shadow world where time seemed to move differently and everything was darker.

Mistaken for one of The Whispers, Arsis and Rubeus follow him to the outskirts of town where they leave the shadow world. He then begins to scold Arsis and Rubeus for being foolish and failing their ill conceived plan and refuses to train Arsis. Arsis smooth talks the guy into training him, but not before the shadowy figure sucker punches him in the face as a lesson.

The "training" seems to happen a lot quicker than Arsis expects. It really only involves a black sphere that slowly was floated into Arsis' mouth and down his throat, along with some chanting by the shadowy figure. Arsis is then met with a very cold feeling, and a shifting of something in his head. Once the process is complete, Arsis is hit with a cold pain, and passes out.

Lady Zara later reveals to the Neverborn that this figure was not one of The Silk Whispers and was probably a demon that happened to be following us. She also mentions that Lord D'ore was never killed so it must have been some type of illusion.
