Shadow Slave
Chapter 65
Sunny was instantly wide awake. Sitting up, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and then glanced at the blind girl, ready to listen.
Nephis approached them and sat down, her face barely visible in the dim light of the early dawn.
"Past or future?"
Sunny blinked.
'Right. I should have asked myself.'
Cassie thought for a bit and then hesitantly answered:
"Past… I think."
After a short pause, her expression changed to that of certainty.
"No, I'm sure of it."
Changing Star slightly tilted her head.
"That's good. So… what did you see?"
Cassie deeply inhaled and fell silent for several seconds, remembering. Her face paled a little, but this time, she was ready to face her fear.
"I saw the Ashen Barrow deep at night, enveloped in a raging storm. The winds were bending the branches of the great tree, as if desperate to break them. The island was illuminated by the constant barrage of thundering lightning bolts, with rain falling from the skies like a flood."
She paused, catching her breath, and continued:
"The Carapace Demon was there, standing in the middle of the storm like an unshakable fortress made of polished steel. Arcs of electricity were dancing between the spikes on his armor, but the demon did not pay it any attention. He was just as Sunny described… prideful, sinister and terrifying."
Cassie closed her eyes.
"When I looked into his eyes, I felt… a sense of emptiness and corruption. He observed the storm until it began to dissipate. The winds weakened, the rain stopped. The great tree stood unbroken, just as magnificent as it was before. But then, the last bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the ground beside it."
Sunny was listening to her tale with great attention, hopeful to hear a piece of useful information.
'So, that monstrosity is not afraid of lightning. Shame. With its metal carapace, I was almost tempted to try and lure it from under the tree during a storm.'
Apparently, that wouldn't work.
