Far away in Bastion, the morning meeting was coming to an end. Effie gave Sunny one last glare and left, while Cassie whisked Nephis away to attend to her imperial duties.
This time, he did not follow.
Instead, Sunny closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, concentrating on his shadow sense.
'So, I'm finally off to Ravenheart…'
He was not going to have to cross the Hollow Mountains again to reach it, but the journey would still take some time and be unpleasant. After all, he had to return to the waking world and endure being rejected by it.
Still, Sunny was in a good mood.
He was looking forward to finally exploring the Jade Palace, and on top of that, he was curious about the city itself.
Ravenheart did not exactly feel like home, but Sunny had spent almost four years there, hiding in Rain's shadow. There were many places in that stark city he felt nostalgic about. He was also curious to see how Ravenheart had changed in the wake of the Raven Queen's fall.
