Shadow Slave

Sunny looked down, at the rolling sea of clouds. He was considering Neph's words.

Some of what she said was common knowledge... people had long theorized that there was a profound meaning to the way the Spell named different Ranks. Ascended were called Ascended because they had risen above their human nature, Transcendent were called Transcendent because they had broken past it, assuming some traits of the divine.

The Supremes, then, took another step toward Godhood, and that step seemed to be tied to authority. It made sense, really. because that progression was similar to how Nightmare Creatures grew in Class the Tyrants were all about rule and authority, too.

However, there was something in what Nephis had told him that caught Sunny's attention. He glanced at her and asked:

"Did you say "start" to coalesce their Domains?"

That word meant much more than one would think. If there was a start, there also had to be an end. much more importantly, it hinted that a Domain was not something that Supremes simply gained.

There was a process to it.

Neph smiled.

"Indeed, you caught on to the very heart of the issue. The Domains are not set in stone... as all other forms of power, they can change and be changed. Simply put, a Domain can grow - in fact, I suspect that it must grow for a Supreme to realize his or her potential. And, therefore, a Domain can also be diminished."

Sunny's eyes gleamed. He was starting to understand...

'I see. I see now... of course! It makes so much sense.!

He looked at her intently, the shadows around him growing darker.
