When Yamini assassinates Councilman Shahid, she unknowingly gains the attention of not one but two dark souls. While Soliessen, bound by the limitations of a physical body, acts with haste to influence the young girl, Narran takes a more subtle approach. Watching silently from the plane of shadow, Narran follows Yamini and interjects subconscious hints and direction when necessary. But when Yamini falters due to her guilt complex, Narran takes over her body temporarily in order to complete the mission at the Ka'Dence Estate and return to the guild hall. She then reveals herself to Yamini, appearing as a dark doppelganger of the young rogue, and attempts to explain the plane of shadows and the spirits who dwell there.
Narran volunteers to take influence during killing blows, but Yamini refuses. Instead, she shadow spirit opts to teach Yamini the dark arts and helps her to develop her shadow abilities, melee fighting prowess, and eventually parkour. Over the course of months, Yamini struggles with a messy execution and turns over the role of killer to Narran to spare her conscience. With more influence and time spent in the physical plane, Narran begins to notice Soliessen coveting Yamini's body and suspects that the guildmaster is up to something. Yamini, confused by Pandora's whisperings at night, rejects the notion and chooses not to trust either completely, for shadow spirits are known for their deceptive nature...
