In the cold light of dawn, Sunny approached the spot where the other members of the cohort and he agreed to meet. The shadow had already located their camp in the ruin of an ancient building and was currently watching them, hidden in the darkness.
The five youths were busy preparing for the last stretch of the way to the Bright Castle. They were calm and collected, not at all like people who were about to face the horrifying wrath of the Bright Lord.
What kind of horror had they not faced already?
Climbing over the rubble, Sunny let Nephis and the rest know of his approach and jumped down.
Landing just a few meters away from the group, he straightened his back and gave them an indifferent look.
"Hey."
They greeted him in a reserved manner. A palpable tension permeated the air, making everyone reluctant to speak too much. Only Effie was seemingly unaffected by this dark mood.
