They walked back in silence. Sunny could simply whisk Rain away through the shadows, but she was not ready to return to the embrace of civilization just yet, so instead, they traveled through the ashen expanse of the hollowed out Hollows on foot.

It felt nice and nostalgic, reminding her of the long hikes back to Ravenheart they had often taken after her hunts. The pleasant sense of fatigue, the warm feeling of sharing her teacher's company, the pride and satisfaction of having slain a Nightmare Creature with her own mundane hands... Times had been so much simpler back then. Eventually, her brother stopped near the scorched remains of an ancient asura and gave it alittle kick. I

"Hmm. These ones are different from the asuras of Condemnation. I wonder what they were called" *

He sighed.

"Sometimes [ miss being infected by the Spell. Its whispers were quite convenient at times, for things like finding out what this city had been called or what kind of deity had ruled it once before becoming swallowed by Corruption" *

Rain lingered for a moment.

"Asuras of Desolation. Tamar had investigated everything connected to the Seed quite thoroughly, so she learned how these abominations were called from a Saint who had slain one during the war. In fact, she tracked down everyone who had slain Nightmare Creatures in these ruins and convinced them to share their knowledge with her!

She looked at her brother intently.

"Things like the details of local abominations, Memory descriptions, scouting reports from both armies... and so on. But you already knew that, considering that you had helped her with the investigation — to increase her chances of becoming a Master"

Sunny smiled.

"Well. She is a subject of my Domain, after all"

Rain studied him for a few moments, then sighed and looked away.

"I'wonder when I'll become a Master, as well"

Her voice was full of wistfulness.

Sunny hesitated for a short while, then raised an eyebrow.

*I'see that arrogance runs in our blood." * Shaking his head, he turned away from the fallen Asura of Desolation and continued walking.

"Tunderstand how you feel. It must be a bitter pill to swallow, being left behind by your friends. However, you mustn't be impatient. It has not even been two years since you Awakened and unsealed your Aspect. People used to spend a decade preparing to challenge the Second Nightmare... things move a bit faster these days, but two years is still far too fast" * He glanced at her.

"And that's for the carriers of the Nightmare Spell, who already walk the Path of Ascension at an astonishing speed due to its cruel gifts. You are doing things properly, unlike them. So, it is only natural that things are going to take longer for you!" Rain smiled bitterly.

She followed him in silence for a while, then said:

"You say that I must be patient, but at the same time, you pushed Tamar to enter the Seed earlier than she had planned."

Sunny shrugged.

"I'wouldn't have if I thought that she was not ready"

Rain glanced at his back and frowned slightly.

She hesitated a little before speaking again. "But that is not everything there is to it, is it? You hide it well, but [ can tell... you are worried."

Sunny gave her an inscrutable look.

Eventually, he averted his eyes.
