Shadow Slave

Sunny remained motionless for a while, trying to digest the earth¬shaking revelation he had received in the Estuary.

He felt as though he had stumbled on a great, almost unimaginable secret. Something that, perhaps, lay at the root of all the mysteries that had been plaguing him for so long.

There were not six, but seven gods: Sun God, War God, Storm God, Beast God, Heart God, Shadow God... and Dream God, who had been forgotten.

The daemons were children of this Forgotten God.

Therefore... by rebelling against the gods, had they rebelled against their own kin? Just like the gods themselves had waged war against their kin, the ineffable beings of the Void.

'No, wait...'

The connection between the Forgotten God and everything that had happened, and continued to happen, was too deep to be a mere coincidence.

The realms of the gods were destroyed, consumed one after another by the Dream Realm. Seeds of Nightmare bloomed in its depths, infecting the last remaining realm, the waking world, by a plague of Nightmare Creatures.

And then there was the Nightmare Spell, created by Weaver — the firstborn of Dream God.

Had the Forgotten God really been Dream God? Or had he been Nightmare God?

Or... had he been Dream God once, but then became the god of nightmares?

Why had he been erased from history? Why did the runes describing his title... and not even his real title, but simply referring to him as the Forgotten God... possess a repelling force to them? It was almost as if merely mentioning him was forbidden.

forbidden, was that why Weaver's lineage was described as forbidden, as well? Come to think of it, Sunny had never heard about any of the daemons having offspring.

His head was spinning.
