บท 63: Unholy Transmutation - Part 23

Despite the morning sun being an almost blinding shade of white, it did absolute shit to warm Angelus up. But he supposed that was where the borderlands saying sprung up from – 'the sun is only a comfort in the south'.

They had left the previous inn and rode before the break of dawn, finally able to make it to the border of Tomiti, even before solar noon. It was funny, though. All of Angelus' memories of Nikolai and Bozhidar's Rodakrov were completely isolated to Castle Mechi – he couldn't remember a single thing about the travel to-and-fro.
