Cassie chose her next words carefully:
"Despite the fact that the Hollow Mountains were designated as a Death Zone, it seems that clan Valor still has ambitions of exploring them. Perhaps that is why Night Temple exists, and why a Saint is stationed there."
Sunny frowned. Even Kai and Effie seemed to be perplexed.
"...I thought Sky Tide was the only Saint on the Chained Isles."
The blind girl shook her head.
"No, there is another. Saint Cormac. He oversees the Citadel and ventures into the mist of the Hollow Mountains from time to time... as though searching for something. In fact, that was how I was able to receive permission to anchor myself and my cohort in the Night Temple. In exchange, I was meant to use my Aspect to aid him in the exploration. But nothing much came of it."
Sunny thought for a bit, then said:
"So far, everything sounds reasonable?"
Cassie nodded, then shifted uncomfortably.
