The rooed since the last time Sunny had seen theone, as well as beautiful decorations covering the walls Instead, all that met the on it, their limbs disassembled and laid out around the bodies like macabre pieces of art
The floor of the whole central chamber was covered by a circle made out of athrough it and dissipating into the ancient stones Noctis was sitting in the center of the circle, his eyes closed Without the familiar carefree sely terrifying
Hearing their footsteps, the sorcerer slowly exhaled The crushi+ng flood of essence slowly thinned, and then dissipated, retreating back into his body He turned his head slightly and opened his eyes, which shone in the darkness for a ht
Then, they slowly turned hu to his usual laidback persona so suddenly that it see
"Ah, Sunless, my friend! You are back! Sit down, have a drink… welcome!"
He stood up and outstretched a hand, as if trying to gesture at a set of comfortable seats Then, a surprised expression appeared on the Transcendent's face, and he looked around the eht… I've been rehed, then clapped his hands together
"Well, noto drink! They must be parched after their journey!"
His voice echoed around the residence… however, nothing happened
He hesitated, then glanced at the brokenon the floor and aardly shi+fted his feet
"Ah How unfortunate"
The sorcerer shook his head, then shrugged and looked at the three of them with a smile:
"Anyway welcome!"

"I am! Wait… I mean I am sure that I did not invent them! Are you sure that you really want to know the truth about me and my friends?"
Noctis raised his eyebroith a sincere look on his face
"Well, of course…"
Sunny stared at him for a few moments, and then said:
"In that case My friends and I are not actually a demon, a cripple, and a small child We are humans from a distant future whose souls were sent here by a nearly all-htmare Spell, after the Gods had died and this whole world had been destroyed Oh, and this place? It is not real! You are not real, too All of it is just a complicated illusion created by the Spell to test us three… no, us five, actually That's the honest truth"
The sorcerer looked at hihed, shook his head, and uttered in a hurt tone:
"Sunless… there's no need to weave such stupid lies to mock me If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to"
