Shadow Slave
Chapter 38
Sleep was avoiding Sunny. For a while, he sat silently in the darkness, listening to the calming rumbling of the waves. In this rare moment of respite, memories of the past few days came flooding into his mind. However, he was too tired to seriously think about anything. He was warm, full, and relatively safe. For now, that was more than enough.
Soon, the rhythm of Cassia's breathing changed, indicating that she fell asleep. Nephis was guarding the camp, motionless and, as always, a bit distant. With her silver hair and fair skin, she looked like an alabaster statue.
Sunny sighed. He struggled for a bit, and then said quietly:
"Hey. Can I ask you a question?"
Nephis glanced at him and shrugged. The lack of an audible response clearly indicated that she remembered about his ability to see in the dark.
"Sure."
'Would it be too personal?'
Sunny hesitated.
"I thought you Legacies come into the Spell with a whole inherited arsenal of Memories. I mean, that's supposed to be your main advantage. How come you only had three?"
Nephis was silent for a few moments.
"Actually, I only had two. The rope came from Cassie."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. I see."
Realizing that her answer wasn't really an answer, Nephis thought for a while and added:
"We lost most of our Memories when my father passed away. The ones that remained were sold one by one over the years, to keep the family afloat. This sword and armor came from my First Nightmare."
So that's how it was. Sunny realized that the fall of the Immortal Flame clan might have been more thorough than he had thought. Still, something about it didn't make sense.
"Surely, with your clan's reputation and standing, there were other ways to make money."
Without any strong reaction, Nephis simply said:
"There were other reasons."
Then, she unexpectedly turned her head in his direction.
"Can I ask you a question in return?"
Sunny swallowed.
"Yeah, go ahead."
Nephis tilted her head.
"How did you know that I'm a Legacy?"
'What? That's it?'
"Simple. I heard Caster mention it. He was scolding other Sleepers to make them treat you with respect."
She gave him a nod and turned away. What thoughts were hidden behind her calm grey eyes, Sunny did not know.
