Old comment, but at the time Cassie had stolen Sunny’s freedom, condemning him to a lifetime of slavery. Her motivations are irrelevant. And to top it off there’s no hint of her apologizing or being repentant for the next 1000+ chapters. Sunny’s main character motivation is to be free, so I still think it would have been in character for him to assassinate both her and Nephis’ body in the academy.
True, but also neph’s flames are the antithesis of corruption, so she’s particularly well suited for injurying and slaying nightmare creatures. Not to mention her divine bloodline empowers her flames as well.
That would make more sense story-pacing wise, but I feel like that goes against Sunny’s character. Not to mention, he still needs to defy fate and beat the nightmare spell with neph. I doubt he’d be able to do that with his fate restored. No, I think he’ll be fateless for a while.
I’ve thought about Sunny returning to everyone’s memories a bit, and I think the only way he’d be satisfied is if he becomes as good at weaving as Weaver. The nightmare spell is woven from strings of fate iirc, so all of Sunny’s essence weaving is basically a tutorial towards that. So eventually (maybe once he’s reclaimed all of weaver’s bloodline?) he should be able to steal back his fate and weave himself back into the tapestry of fate while excluding his slave fate and maybe changing his true name.
Most honest man in the world, two worlds even, just made a promise.
Mordret has gotta have a plan. He’s way too devious to just be fighting like a brute while his aspect is suppressed. Maybe he’s doing something to make the Others into his power. Even if not, since he lost 3 vessels he’s free to take 3 more from the forest of nightmare creatures.
I like Morgan’s character growth, but I honestly like Mordret’s character more. I hope he stays winning.
I bet morgan moved everything out of the illusion world. So the idyllic bastion is gone, but the ruins hidden in its place remain.
I liked these chapters, but they almost felt sad to me. Feels like as he ties up loose ends he's simultaneously removing any reason for him to stay connected to the world.
Probably so, though I can’t help but feel Sunny’s domain will deal with death, and what better place to be surrounded and strengthened by death than a massive war? So maybe a surprise is in store. Though I somewhat doubt it.
