He reached into his pocket and withdrew a couple of vials. One of them contained nothing but brown, dirty fog. The other had a black liquid inside it. "Bit of a shadow," he said, holding up the latter one. "Nao-kun told me that these unformed shadows are the arcana of 'fool'. And shadows have souls, that much I've observed for myself. But only partially."
He gestured to Chernobog. "Just as this fine creature has a part of your soul in it, but you retain the rest inside you."
