Not only were the Nightmare Creatures on the bridge coming back to life, but the thunderous noise created by Sunny's arrows had to have attracted all kinds of abominations from the depths of the island. The enchantment surrounding Aletheia's Tower might have been destroyed, but the situation was dire.
He could already hear the pines falling in the forest, which meant that Devoring Beast was approaching them. 'Damnation.'
Sunny stared at the stirring Nightmare Creatures for a moment, then dismissed his bow and dashed to Cassie.
"Sorry!"
Grabbing the blind girl by her thin waist, he effortlessly lifted her off the ground and jumped into the saddle. A moment later, Nightmare had already left the cover of the trees and was flying toward the bridge.
"S-Sunny?! W-what..."
The mist boiled and surged into the killing field, obscuring the swift silhouette of the black stallion. Sunny hoped that this would protect them from the being that hid in the skies... but he couldn't be sure.
Pressing Cassie against himself so that she was not thrown off Nightmare's back, he readied the Sin of Solace.
"Either we get inside the tower, or die. So... hold on tight!"
The abominations on the bridge had already caught their scent. Sunny had hoped to slip past them before the creatures fully regained their senses, but it seemed that he had been too optimistic. There was only a second or two left before Nightmare reached the moat... and yet, there was already a Great Nightmare Creature eyeing them as it blocked the way.
'Curse it!'
At the last second, Sunny gave his steed a command to turn left.
