Both Sunny and Cassie froze, bewildered by the strange scene.
'Surely, I'm seeing things.'
This was Wind Flower, a misty hell where harrowing abominations and Defiled Saints were imprisoned, not even knowing that they were. A place that slowly devoured the souls of Great Nightmare Creatures until there was nothing left but empty husks. The abandoned stronghold of an ancient Seeker who had left to challenge the Estuary.
How could there be someone sleeping soundly in its very heart?
Sunny suppressed the desire to pinch himself.
…He also suppressed the desire to pinch Cassie.
"Hey… you see what I see, right?"
As soon as he spoke, Sunny suddenly felt a wave of fear wash over him and covered his mouth with a hand. Shaking off his bewilderment, he reminded himself where they were, and why they had come here.
Cassie had said that there was a source of terrible danger at the top of Aletheia's Tower… but there was only this sleeping woman. Which meant that she was that source.
