Sunny had felt bold not too long ago. Transcendence had increased his power tremendously, and reuniting with Serpent added another fearsome Shadow to his dark legion. He had braved the dark depths of Earth's oceans, slaughtered his way across the Antarctic Center like a Grim Reaper, slain the Winter Beast, and crossed the Chained Isles as if he was taking a walk in the park.
His power had gotten to his head, and he had thought himself truly strong.
…The Hollow Mountains disabused him of that notion.
Wandering the endless expanse of flowing mist, lost among jagged peaks, Sunny was reminded of how weak and insignificant he was in the grand scheme of things.
Effie had once said that the Dream Realm was a dark paradise… but as far as Sunny was concerned, it seemed more like hell.
