Once outside, Sunny spent some time finding Effie and Kai. The two of them were in the dining area of the lodge, discussing something between themselves. There was no sign of Cassie anywhere, but he did notice Caster observing him from the stairs leading to the second floor. 'Is she avoiding me?' Somewhat disappointed, Sunny landed on a chair next to the two locals he had come to know and gave them a dark look. "What, the two of you know each other?" Kai smiled. "Who doesn't know huntress…-

Soon, another map was spread on the table. This one was drawn on a piece of crude parchment made out of monster hide, and much less detailed than the one hanging on the wall. Well, that was understandable. Because the second map did not depict the Dark City, but the Forgotten Shore itself. Sunny stared at it in stunned silence. …Yeah. Nephis had not wasted any time during these three months. He had no idea how she had gathered all this information, but there was a lot more on the map than he…

Sunny grew silent and tried very hard not to look at the huntress, who was glaring at him with murder in her eyes. Did he hear it right? "Uh… excuse me? Keep her safe?" Nephis gave him a nod, then hesitated for a few moments and sighed. "I guess I owe you an explanation." With a frown, she glanced at the map of the Dark City. Her gaze was fixed on the symbol of a tower drawn in its center with white paint. The Bright Castle. After a few moments, she said: "You asked why Gunlaug…

The four people in the room reacted to his arrival differently. Nephis seemed to be indifferent, as always. However, Sunny knew her well enough to notice a strange tension hiding in the depths of her calm grey eyes. Caster greeted him with an amiable smile, but there was coldness hiding behind it. It seemed as though the handsome scion was not happy about this turn of events. Did he see him as a rival for Neph's attention, or was there more to it? In any case, it was not Sunny's problem. He did…

On the way out of the castle, Kai was strangely silent. Sunny didn't mind, because he had a lot to think about. Going back to that lodge… there were a lot of things there that he had hoped to never see, feel, or experience again. For a moment, he even thought about rushing straight back to his cathedral without making good on his promise. But why should he? It's not like he asked to be invited back. Nephis was the one who wanted his help with something. 'Just pretend like you don't care. Also,…

Just like Dreamers gained the ability to perceive and interact with Soul Cores, Awakened were able to interact with Soul Essence. By channeling it inside their bodies, they were able to utilize it more efficiently and achieve greater results. The ability to channel soul essence was also vital to unlocking the full potential of higher rank Memories. Besides the general rarity of such Memories, there was another reason why Legacy clans did not just equip their scions with weapons of tremendous power and…

For a moment, Sunny froze. However, a second later he continued to behave just like before, as if nothing had happened. The first rule of haggling — never let the enemy see that you're interested in buying something. And Sunny was dead set on haggling until Stev's ears started to bleed today. Pretending as though he had not noticed the dusty armor, he walked around a bit more, slowly approaching the corner where it was displayed. Judging by the neglect with which the armor was kept, the master of…

Behind the door, there was a medium-sized hall that had no windows. It was illuminated by a strange lantern that levitated in its center, radiating a bright and stable glow. Along the walls of the room stood various weapon racks, wooden mannequins dressed in full suits of armor, and tables with a wide assortment of beautiful and intriguing objects placed upon them. All of it — the weapons, the armors, the objects, even the levitating lantern — were Memories. Sunny felt a thundering thought…

Sunny blinked a couple of times, digesting her words. A matter of life and death… if Nephis used these words, the situation was indeed dire. She was not someone to throw words to the wind. However, she was also not to be trusted. No matter how much Sunny wanted for things between them to go to the way they had been before, he knew that it was impossible. There was no way back for either of them. Sunny knew the true face of Changing Star now. He had seen the endless force of her conviction. In…

Sunny had never seen Nephis show fear before, not to mention being truly horrified. Instantly, every muscle in his body tensed, and a cold shiver ran through it. 'It can't be, it can't be!' She was a person who faced demons and fearsome abominations without even flinching. What could scare her so much? Was he mistaken? Was Kai an incarnation of some primordial evil after all? How could this be?! Panicking, he turned back to face the charming young man and outstretched one arm, ready to…
