Chapter 771 Honor Guard

After it becao on a destructive raet a lot of tients whisked her away

Cassie barely ed to squeeze her hand, while Effie and Kai could only express their joy ords Sunny rehts The corner he was standing in became even darker than it had been before

Neph herself seemed a bit disoriented, so their short reunion had turned out to be somewhat muddled

There were certain procedures involved when a person Awakened, and even more once they Ascended All kinds of interviews, evaluations, and tests had to take place All kinds of reports had to be subranted, and all varieties of procedures had to be enacted

The bureaucratic rate a new Master into the larger framework of humanity

Sunny knew the process well, because he had gone through it himself It was just that his own experience had been separated into two distinct instances, and made smoother by Master Jet's participation

Nephis, on the other hand, had to go through both sets of procedures at once, which was more or less unprecedented She also did not enjoy the patronage of a high-ranking govern

There were other complications, as well Her situation was unique and abnormal in more than one sense Just the fact that she had beco a Gateway anchor in the Dreah to ents had their work cut out for them

…It was not all bad, however The process, while slightly obnoxious, was there for a reason It was not only about gathering the necessary infor the Ascended's new and elevated status It was also designed to help the returned deal with theback to safety after experiencing untold horrors in the Nightree

NoStar was, no one doubted that her harrowing adventure through the Dreahtovernile ainst those who could break, but also experienced in e all kinds of preventative ???e?????ѵ?? c??

Due to how ianda machine and to the actual defensive efforts of huovern that the initial steps of her rehabilitation went as smoothly as possible

Of course, she was free to decide howto share Some basic tests, however, were mandatory, since it was necessary to determine how safe it was to release her into the population

What ithours before the ain

They weren't the only ones waiting, too

At some point, Cassie had left and returned to the Dream Realm to inform the Fire Keepers of the incredible new developh, dozens of them used the Gateway in the Ivory Tower and returned to the waking world for the first ti pods were situated right there in the hospital co tiather in the hallway near where Nephis was undergoing her interviews Now, around fifty young Awakened crowded it, as if standing guard

After spending almost half a year in the Dreaes, if not a little feral They earing civilian clothes, but no one would mistake these people for mundane hu sense of silent threat radiating froazes re anyone who approached feel ill at ease That was especially true for the members of Cassie's former cohort, which was now led by the stoic healer, shi+h alert and ready to pounce on anyone representing a threat

With the Fire Keepers standing guard, any potential action by the great clans was bound to end in failure, or at least outright disaster In fact, they seemed so fierce that even the security teams of the Academy became nervous and sent a few cohorts of their own to keep watch on the celebrating group

It was easy to read the extreh Awakened or not, they seeainst the elites of the Forgotten Shore if push ca all that, Sunny couldn't help but ask hi in the relative safety of the Ivory Tower had such a drastic effect on the Fire Keepers, then what had two years of traversing soions of the Dream Realm done to Nephis?

After a while, he quietly approached Cassie and asked quietly:

"How is it going?"
