"What a strange word, heresy! Don't you think? It had not even existed when I was young, you know But then, suddenly, each of the six cults started treating dae a vile disease and the concept of heresy was invented Now, becooodbye to your life…"

He grew silent, and then sighed

"We did not know it at the tidoe of Heroes ended, and the current one — whatever it will be called one day — began Ah, what a dreadful era! Nothing has gone right from then on…"

Sunny re strange about this whole story Nothing made sense… the Gods and the dae that they would eventually clash in a devastating war, he could not quite believe it… however, on second thought, the Prince of the Underworld… Nether… was indeed described as having been close with the Goddes of the Black Skies once

Who was to say that the other daemons had not consorted with the Gods, as well?

But that only ht down upon the Kingdoe And who had they been allied together against? The creatures of the Void? What was the exact tie of Heroes had ended with the imprisonment of Hope… but when had it started? And what had been happening before?

'dalanced at Noctis, hesitated for a few ain…

However, the sorcerer was having none of it He glanced at Sunny and said with a smile:

"I feel like you are about to ask me a question That would be the second question… wait, no, the second one hether or not Sun God was jealous! Wicked demon… you tricked me!"

Noctis shook his head, looked at Sunny with reproach, and stood up

"Shaht Tell your friends to prepare well in the tiave hi back toward his residence

After a few steps, however, he stopped and said in his usual carefree ot… you will have to go and retrieve the third knife, too Don't worry, though, it is not going to be hard Rather easy, really"

Sunny, as staring at the tranquil lake with a dark expression, simply nodded

"Sure… wait, what? Why do we have to do it?! Go and get it yourself!"

Noctis hesitated for a bit, then sighed

"Ah, I wish that I could But… well… I ht have said soive the knife to so like that And sadly, while I ado suit You and your friends, however! You reak of purity… well, one or two of you, at least… for now…"

With that, the sorcerer winked at Sunny and strolled ahistling a jovial tune

Sunny watched hio, and then shook his head with a bewildered expression on his face

'Wait… did he just… swindled ain?!'

He blinked a couple of times and clenched his four fists
