Shadow Slave | The Herald of Ruin

the crows past and the voice in the well.

Sunny was currently busy luring 5 sleepers to his cathedral.

It's been another 2 months.

He hasn't kept contact with anyone except zero visiting him.

And everytime he came he looked in much worse conditions, showing he was giving everything he had to grow stronger.

This of course gave sunny more fuel for his renewed conviction to not only survive but to also thrive in the city before they finally made a plan to return.

So he was very oblivious to the happenings in the castle.

"Catch the rat bastard! You will die for killing the chief!"

He heard behind him as he continued running and finally took a right turn as he disappeared into the dark from the cathedral.

They followed him but to their dismay they only found a stone inside the entrance.

"Goodbye, your nightmare is over"

Is what it said and before they noticed anything all five died a quick and yet miserable death to his black Knight,
His roommate especially furious from the 5 invaders.

It took sunny some time to catch his breath.

To his surprise he didn't feel guilty about killing them.

Honestly he even felt like it was deserved.

They tried to kill and rob him.

The worst part was not they insulted him.

But they insulted Nephis.

That, of course was a crime worthy of death.

As he went down to scavange the fools remains and see what he could find.

He used the shadow to watch them but couldn't find anything of interest so he decided to do it himself since his shadow couldn't.. really touch or move anything.

His black night already had dismissed of some more creatures so his eyes glistened from the thought of getting more shards.

When he was looking through them.

He found nothing just like he expected but he felt something in the inner in the tall thugs shirt.

It was..a piece of fabric?

He took a look at it and his eyes widened slightly.

"Ooh? A map!"

His eyes now gleaming with interest.

He glanced over it.

It seemed to be the map of the city somewhat.

The shapes he recognized were the various landmarks located in the neighboring parts of the cursed city. Sunny knew many of them by heart, and had even explored a few in the past.

"No..it couldn't.. be? Right?
A treasure map?"

Now his eyes were fired up with his spirit of adventure.

But quickly lost it.

"What if it isn't..?" He kept muttering to himself, he made a habit of talking to himself, it was another way to keep his already swaying mentality,

He had been having a hard keeping his sanity..

The loneliness, for most part was his own fault.

And almost dying to his..wrathful neighbour.

He had gotten gutted by him and only escaped with the help of his now most treasured memory almost.
