Shadow Slave
Chapter 470
Cassie had changed since the last time they met.
Her hair was longer, and there was a strange silver half-mask covering her eyes, its surface blind and intricately engraved. It matched the polished steel of the armor she was wearing on top of a midnight blue coat, comprised of a short cuirass, vambraces, greaves, and a segmented pauldron.
The Quiet Dancer hung on her belt, but there was also a long dagger opposite it, its guard twisting upward.
What changed most of all, however, was her demeanor. The blind girl seemed… much older, somehow. Firmer, poised, but also weary. As if pressed down upon by the weight of years.
'What? What years? She's younger than me!'
Sunny struggled a little, then pretended to smile, too, for the benefit of the young Fire Keeper who no doubt expected a warm reunion.
No one knew what had happened between them, after all.
"Yeah. I received your note… cryptic as it was. And here I am. In the flesh."
The girl who had led him to Cassie glanced at them, then made an excuse and went back to the camp, tactfully deciding to remove herself from what she thought was going to be an emotional meeting of two old friends.
…Former friends, really.
Sunny hesitated a little, then asked:
"So… how have you been?"
Cassie sighed, then turned back to the excavated roots of the charred tree.
After a while, she spoke:
"Not so good, actually."
Her voice sounded distant.
"We… we have tried to venture into the Hollow Mountains, as you must know. But it was hopeless. That place is pure death, for anyone who dares set foot into the mist. We hoped to find a way back to the Forgotten Shore. In the end, however, we were lucky to simply escape alive."
Cassie remained silent for a bit, then asked:
"What about you?"
Sunny grinned:
