[Maria felt disappointed that it wasn't her Grandfather. But she felt relief that she still had Shadow with her. She would always feel safe with him. She nodded as he said who it was. It was true, she didn't recognize the name, but she was still curious.

Shadow's explanation of why she could have been chosen, made her smile a little against his fur, but it was a sad expression.] Well...I'll do what I can to help. I don't want to see our world destroyed. [She would do whatever she could in her ability. She wasn't a fighter or very physical, but she had her mind and she was intelligent enough with a strong spirit and sense of will. She would endure.]

I'm more curious about this 'Echo' that was mentioned. They appear to be the mastermind of all this. I can't say whether they are a threat or not because of lack of information however. Aurora said that this 'Echo' was the one responsible for bringing us all here from the different universes. [She wondered where Shadow was taking her. Did he have more chances to explore than she did? She trusted him implicitly though and knew that he would find a safe place.]
