Chapter 386 Sanctuary of Noctis

Soon, Sunny alking on the last chain he had to traverse as he approached the Sanctuary of Noctis

By then, it was already night Up above, the pale disk of the crescentoff the white walls of the Ivory Tower Countless stars shi+ht sky Without the light pollution that the giant city where Sunny had grown up produced, they were beautiful and bright

There had not been any stars on the Forgotten Shore, as well, so this sight was still new and breathtaking to hiht, the border between the Sky Above and the Sky Beloas almost invisible The empty void beneath the Isles had stars of its own, so it see these hours The only difference between them was that it lacked both the raceful white tower floating through the clouds
