Shade couldn't believe his eyes. After allowing Celia to sleep in the same bed with him, he woke only to realize that she was gone. At first, he believed that she had simply returned to her room. However, he soon came to realize that this was not the case.
Beside him on the bed was a small envelope containing a letter. After opening the letter, he realized what had truly happened. The letter read as follows:
"Dear Shade,
I'm sorry but I leave the captaincy of Team Shadow Liege in your hands. I enjoyed my time with you and everyone else but there's something that came up that I realized I needed to do. I have left on a journey to accomplish that goal. Please don't go looking for me. I have Lilly with me so I promise I'll be okay. Please apologize to the others for me and give my regards to Anwir and Team Freedom. Thanks for everything and until we meet again."
