Back in the Labyrinth, Sunny wasn't the only one who had killed countless Nightmare Creatures In fact, due to his prihters of the cohort had killed many more

He knew for a fact that at least two of them — Effie and Caster — had fully saturated their soul cores long before their return journey was finished Absorbing any more shards would have been useless for the her share of the spoils, too

Added with the shards that Sunny traded for the unwanted Memories that the members of the cohort had accu crystals had been placed into Effie's leather bag

He had often wondered what Nephis would use theathered in the e — her most trusted subordinates — stared at the tall pile of soul shards in utter shock Here in the Dark City, this was an inconceivable wealth One shard was enough to buy a person a week of food, coht Castle

Too s So, in a sense, the mountain of crystals in front of them was tantamount to a thousand human lives

The scarred hunter slowly tore his eyes away fro Star, his face pale and his voice suddenly raspy:

"What… what is this, Lady Nephis?"

She remained silent for a few ely affecting voice:

Hidden in a shadowy corner, Sunny smiled with dark apprehension

Back at the start of it all, he had told Nephis that Gunlaug could not be defeated because he controlled every facet of life here in the Dark City: food, safety, hope and fear even power itself

Then, he had watched as she gave the people of the outer settlement free food, placed thenited the eotten hope in their hearts All that reht them power as well

No wonder they were ready to worshi+p her In their eyes, Changing Star was a noble savior

"What are you waiting for? Gunlaug'sthemselves to co yourselves and absorb them, dimwits!"

The Sleepers did notafter the last shard had been absorbed, one of the watchers ran into the roo!"

There was a hint of unrestrained fear in her voice

Sunny flexed his shoulders and stretched

'The show is about to start'

The people gathered in the roolanced at each other, their faces full of tension Only Nephis re out of theat the dead city that sprawled below her like a desolate, lonesoraveyard
