Norro's  POV:

  "Master, I wish I could help you."

   "Look, I tried to warn you the miraculous are not meant for evil."

   "You would not listen to me."

     "Who is that in my head?" Shadowmoth motions with his wings.

   "It is I, Norro, the kwami you have abused for the last eighteen years."

    "I can not help if you will not listen."

   "What do I do?"

     Norro hears Shadowmoth's pleas for help. He is sure it must be a trick.  After all his master, has never been known for mercy.

    He recalls how once Shadowmoth akumatized a villain so powerful it wounded Carapace and almost killed Rena Rouge, Veperon, Vespeara, and Chat Noir.

   He shudders at the horrors of all the past memories.

Perhaps, Shadowmoth is better in this condition. At least, he can not hurt anyone else this way.

   Yet, there appears to be a new problem. A new villain who is not sure about his powers yet.

  Norroo cowers in agony and fears about the past and what the unknown future holds.

"Look, bad boy, you will not get any sympathy from me, he spat out."

"Is that any way to treat your Master?" Shadowmoth scoffs.

"You don't deserve any help after how you treated everyone least of all me."

   "What about Chat's words about everyone deserving a second chance?"  Shadowmoth threw back at him.

Norroo left. He knew the villain made a good point, yet he did not trust him.

How could he?

The man blew it time and time again.

He gave him many chances to do right and Gabriel Agreste kept on doing evil instead.

  He sighed. He was not sure what to do.

  He knew whatever it was he better not speak to Shadowmoth again.

   Yes, he better stay away or else there is no telling what might happen.

     *Author's note for those who wonder how Norroo is there well, Gabriel was transformed into Shadowmoth, but somehow Norroo broke free from the miraculous.  This way when the villain was changed the kwami was fine. 

   Norroo ran as fast as he could. He went back to Chat and Ladybug.

   "I tried to reason with him, but he would not listen."

   "It is way worse then I thought. I do not think there is a redemption for the Shadowmoth."

   Norroo looked sad as he spoke. It was like a piece of him was missing and he could not find it.

     Chat and ladybug did their best to comfort the forlorn and lost-looking kwami.

      It was too bad his holder had hurt him so much because Norroo refused to work with anyone else since then. It was like he was afraid someone else might take advantage of him as well.
