Shadow Bond (A Shadow Slave Fanfiction)

Into the Forgotten Shore

Nephis is the first to speak up after Wyatt's "story".
"So, this forgotten shore is both undiscovered and unkown?"
"Not unknown, just not known by the government... oranyoneelse." Wyatt stammers out the last part as quickly as possible.
This doesn't go unnoticed by Cassie.
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"Nooo no, the people that live there know about it."
Wyatt gives the least convincing answer possible, leading to the shocking result of Cassie asking for more information.
"But, you don't live there?"
"I know."
'(Is all this information true?)'
'[Yes.]'
'(Where did you get it from?)'
'Well, I gain nothing from lying here. Might as well come clean.'
'[Actually this whole world is based on-- arghh.]'
When Wyatt tries to bring up the truth about the webnovel, he feels severe pain in his head that Nephis immediately notices.
"Is something wrong?" Nephis asks, forcing Wyatt to lie.
"Nonsense, I think someone just used their Aspect to poke me but I'm alright."
Nephis doesn't seem to believe this but lets it go.
Cassie speaks up agian.
"So where did you get your information from?"
"I would love to tell you that, I truly would, but my Flaw is that I can't reveal fate. Apparently my 'source' counts as fate, and I'm forced to stay quiet about it. But either way, believe me if you want, or don't, although it would be more helpful if you did."

After saying his bit, Wyatt walks away and enters Awakened Rock's classroom. As Rock has been expecting him, he is able to quickly get to teaching Wyatt, and by proxy Sunny. He starts out with some lessons about how to swing a sword, and then moves on to footwork to increase Wyatt's agility. Since Wyatt is a somewhat fast learner he is able to increase his skills slightly in the hour he had, impressing Rock. Once he is finished, he moves on back to Teacher Julius' room and switches control with Sunny.
At night Sunny switches back control with Wyatt allowing him to practice the drills that Awakened Rock taught him, this time Wyatt is able to switch after around 30 seconds, perhaps due to being used to moving in Sunny's body.
He spends 4 hours constantly swinging his sword or moving around, able to keep going due to the fact that a sleepers body is equivalent to a peak human and he needs no conditioning.
'Maybe this powerful body is why Sunny was able to increase his skills so quickly in the webnovel.... no, he's just a monster, now I'm a monster too, hopefully I can improve myself fast enough to beat a carapace scavenger in a month.'
With that thought in his mind, he redoubles his efforts.
A month passes with Wyatt and Sunny both learning as fast as they can. Wyatt is able to recommend certain lessons to Sunny based on what he can remember about the forgotten shore. His recommendations included cooking crab meat, swimming, and and scouting. While Sunny was curious about why such specific things were necessary, he usually listened to Wyatt's suggestions.
While in Awakened Rock's class, Wyatt was able to make huge improvements, from someone who never held a sword, to someone who was around the middle of the class. The students were mildly impressed that he was able to improve that much, but most didn't care, he was still only average at best.
At night Wyatt learned that his body actually needed very little rest, usually only an hour or two every night, leaving plenty of time for practicing and even studying the notes Sunny made, to increase his own knowledge about survival.
He decided to test his own strength after his training montage and manged to get a twelve, his improved form and usage of his body, managing to drastically increase his score.
'Now with Mr. shadow.'
When he uses Sunny's shadow combined with his own augmentation he gets a score of 22, which isn't bad but he is a bit sad that even when using his own augmentation he can't even double his score. Sunny decides to attempt it and gets a total score of 36, tripling his initial score of 12.
'Damn, I really am a side character.' A disappointed Wyatt thinks.

When they arrived at the sleeping pods for their inevitable journey to the Dream Realm, both Awakened Rock and Teacher Julius went to Sunny's pod and gave him some last tips to survive. Sunny ended up as their favorite student due to his work ethic, so they couldn't bear seeing him die in the Dream Realm. 
Once he is attached to the sleeping pod he feels the call of The Spell and drifts of to sleep.
'It's Christmas in a few days. Yay, maybe we can celebrate with Cassie and Nephis once we meet up, if only I didn't miss Thanksgiving too.'
And with that final thought, he loses consciousness.
