Sunny held his breath, staring at the runes intensely. He knew what that Memory was.
Another drop of divine blood…
And knowing where the Shadow Slave Aspect had come from and to which deity it was connected, it wasn't hard to guess whose blood it was.
Shadow God… this Memory was of a drop of Shadow God's blood.
...And in that drop was his lineage.
"Can't be…"
But it was. Sunny had just received a second Lineage Memory… more than that, that lineage was a complete one — like [The Fire] that Neph had inherited from Sun God — not a fragment of a forbidden bloodline that he had inherited from Weaver, the Demon of Fate.
Sunny studied the runes for a while, then slowly turned away.
He wasn't ready to summon the Drop of Ichor yet. Not because of the pain that consuming a Lineage Memory would bring — who knew, maybe there wasn't going to be any this time. After all, this one was not forbidden.
He simply had to prepare himself mentally.
