Slyph seemed to understand this, her tiny form shaking harder. "But... but if I say their names, if word gets out that I revealed them, they'll come after me! They'll know I betrayed the agreement!"
"What agreement?" Pho asked, genuine curiosity coloring his tone.
"We swore!" Slyph's voice rose to something approaching panic. "After the sealing, after Prosperity Kingdom fell to the dungeon break, we all swore to never reveal who'd participated! To never speak the names, to never acknowledge what we'd done! It was the only way to avoid Ren's revenge if he ever escaped!"
Pho's expression didn't change, but internally, he felt something approaching amusement. Spirits make pacts to hide their identities from potential future retribution. How paranoid.
