 Aw, there, there...you.

Don't cry. I'm sure you and me will be really good friends, once we get to know each other!

I glance up from my book.

"That would be a horrible idea. Why would I do that?"

"Orpheus!"

A dark figure begins to unfold from the air. A figue of skeletal thiness.

"yes, milord?"

"Do you know where my shadow is?!"

"the general did not furnish me with that information."

"So you don't know?!?"

"This is a disaster! See, some of my power bleeds off into her.. Which makes her kind of hard to track.."

"Orpheus, Take some minions and search in all the usual places."

A few of the small shimmering minions appear and drift towards the thin reaper.

Orpheus begins to collapse in on himself, drawing the minions with him.

"So, who else do I have that is smart.."

KARMA is at your service...

[Zaleramancer]

Meanwhile...

The shadow was enjoying herself.. A line if overturned cars, sliced trees and scratched concrete showed her course.

She had not bothered taking a human form, far preceding the amorphous shadowy state she was in now.

The shadow raised a dark and clawed hand to remove the next obstruction in her path, a bus, when she felt... Something. Something was trying to sense her. The shadow hissed in annoyance and drew her power around herself like a cloak.  Nothing would interrupt her now.

Besides imagination incarnate..

"Oh right! Persona!"

"Thoth!"

Plumes of smoke began to rise from the ground, as beautiful music sounded in the distance. A person appeared, shrouded by the rising smoke..

Wait, that's not a person.. It was..

A levitating baboon with a book?

"So... You are Thoth?"

The baboon shot me a look reserved by smart people for the hoplessly dim witted.

"Yea you ninny. What do you want?"

"Err.. I am looking for my shadow."

"Have you tried looking down?"

"Not that one! A sem-autonomous and highly violent one! Here! Marv, you take him. No doubt he can help KARMA find my shadow."

[Zaleramancer]

Some place with sentient life that can hear.

"Ova hea!" I call in a faux-British accent.

Shadow dodges around the corner before I care enough to put forth the effort to catch her, though.
