Shadow Slave
Chapter 45
Because of the shadow fragments Sunny had absorbed in the last few days, the range of Shadow Control has increased a little. However, it was still far from being enough to explore deep into the labyrinth. He only got the general direction in which the two large monsters were moving.
They were going west.
After telling this to Nephis, there was pretty much nothing else for him to do. In the end, Sunny decided to simply rest — the next day was promising to be full of hardships and danger, so it was in his best interest to let his body recover as much as it could.
Some time later, Sunny was lying on his back, staring at the grey sky. Cassie was sitting beside him, lost in her thoughts. Nephis was meditating. At least, that's what it looked like: she might as well had been asleep, for all Sunny knew.
After a while, Cassie turned to him.
"Sunny?"
He tilted his head to look at her.
"Yeah?"
The blind girl hesitated.
"Do you… do you think we'll be able to return home?"
Sunny glanced at her and furrowed his brow. A few seconds later, he turned away and looked at the sky again.
"Sure."
Cassie smiled:
"You really think so? Why?"
'What's with all these questions?'
He sighed and tried to find the right words.
"Because of her."
He pointed at Nephis, knowing that Cassie won't see it. There was no one else on the stone platform, though, so it was pretty obvious who he was referring to.
"I'm also not someone to die easily. In fact, I'm willing to bet that you couldn't have found a better duo of Sleepers to escort you across the Dream Realm. If anyone can survive this, it's us. So, yeah. I think that our chances of making it back are pretty high."
Cassie suddenly giggled.
