Just a handful of minutes before, Sunny was standing at the edge of the Ivory Island, looking at the distant wall of the great fortress with a somber expression on his face. His incarnation in the camp of the Song Army had caught a glimpse of Cassie as she was being escorted by Seishan and their eerie retinue of walking corpses…
But he had lost sight of them once the two entered the chambers of the Queen. Sunny was not reckless enough to get that close to Ki Song, so he was forced to wait in tense anticipation, not knowing what to expect.
Surely, Cassie was too valuable to be disposed of swiftly. She was not someone who would put herself in danger without having a way out, either… so his worry was most likely meaningless. And yet, he could not help but feel uneasy.
'Damn it.'
