The omurice disappeared from the plates with a speed that made Sunny a bit full of himself. He smiled proudly, and then looked at Nephis:
"So, what do you think about the mess we're in?"
She put down her utensils, looked at the empty plate with a hint of regret, and then asked:
"That Mordret… the Rank of his Aspect is the same as ours?"
Sunny nodded, prompting her to frown. While she thought, he reluctantly added:
"He is also older and more powerful than us, and possesses more knowledge than anyone in the waking world should have. Other than that, he is… actually, I don't know what he is, I just feel that something is very wrong with that guy. Regardless, he is dead set on destroying Clan Valor. It is just hard to tell how he is going to go about accomplishing that goal."
Changing Star remained silent for a few moments, then said evenly:
"He is going to search for allies."
Sunny's expression grew a little darker.
"Mordret is not exactly a team player."
Nephis slowly shook her head.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how powerful he has become, it won't be enough to reach his goals. The… the enemy is too strong. Their power is too absolute."
She did not say it, but from the grim expression on her face, Sunny could guess what Changing Star was thinking about. That she was in the exact same position.
Which did not bode well…
He grimaced.
"So… do you think that we should expect to find the bastard on our doorstep one day? The enemy of my enemy, and all that."
Sunny was not looking forward to meeting Mordret again, let alone getting entangled with him in any shape or form. As far as he was concerned, the Prince of Nothing would bring nothing but trouble.
Nephis frowned, then said with uncertainty:
"No… I doubt it." ƒreewebɳovel.com
Well, if she was right, that was a relief.
At that moment, Cassie deactivated her communicator and turned to face them.
"The Fire Keepers have reached the Immortal Flame manor. They are putting on a show to make it seem like there are all kinds of activity going on inside. Hopefully, that is going to make most people think that you are there with them. You should not be bothered by anyone here, for a while."
She paused for a moment, then sighed.
"But that is not going to last long. Maybe a week… the rest of us should not linger, as well. It would be strange if Kai, Effie, and I are not seen at the manor. We will leave shortly and join the Fire Keepers."
Which would leave Sunny and Nephis alone...
