Cassie was casually walking down the hallway with a young girl with pale skin, raven-black hair, and onyx eyes walking next to her
The young girl coughed awkwardly and asked
"Why did you call for me Lady Song of-Cassie?"
Cassie laughed softly before stopping abruptly and reaching her hand to stop the small girl
"Wait here for a few minutes" Cassie smiled
Then suddenly a loud siren erupted from the hallway they were in
Rain covered her ears, while Cassie just stared at nothing
Then a couple of people ran out of the door and ran down the hallway, looking for something
After a minute passed, two people came through the door, holding hands
The one wearing pure-black leather armor stopped, stunned after seeing Rain
And Rain was also stunned. She managed to mutter
"... Brother?"
The one wearing a white tunic looked at her, raised an eyebrow before turning to the person she was holding hands with
"Is she the sister you mentioned?"
The man slowly nod before taking a hesitant step towards her
He muttered
"Hey Rain, I guess I'm your brother?" he made a awkward smile and scratched his head with his free hand
Rain let out a small laugh before nodding
"You are one socially awkward person"
Sunny smiled and nodded, then Rain took a step closer and asked
".... Is it ok for me to hug you?"
Sunny's smile froze on his face before nodding softly
"If you want" Sunny mumbled
Rain slowly edged closer to Sunny until she gently hugged him. Sunny patted her head and let out a small light before saying
"Have you eaten well? Did anything happen? I am going to train you, I don't care if you don't want to" Sunny held her cheeks
Rain stared at him wide eyed before prying his hand away and rubbing her cheek
"Jeez, the Twilight Keepers are already training me"
Sunny and Nephis stared at Rain before a awkward cough came from in front of them, distracting them of whatever the 'Twilight Keeper' was
All three of them looked at Cassie. Cassie smiled and moved to Nephis and Sunny
"I missed you both" she lunged at both of them and hugged them
Nephis patted her back while Sunny coughed and yelled
"Yeah! I missed you too! But I can't breath!"
Cassie slowly let go of her grip on Sunny, but shifted to fully hug Nephis
Sunny let out a shaky breath and laughed seeing Nephis also struggle to breathe
"Uh, can I have a room to sleep in? I just now came out of fighting a creature of Nothingness" Sunny sighed
Cassie turned to look at him before letting go of Nephis and saying
"We don't have anymore rooms for a singular person, so you'll need to be with Neph"
Nephis hid a small smile while Sunny shrugged
"I just want to sleep for awhile"
Cassie nodded and guided everyone to a medical room. Cassie made Sunny sleep on a bed, there was another bed, but Nephis adamantly wanted to sleep near Sunny so she physically pulled the bed next to Sunny's bed
Then suddenly a horde of doctors slammed opened the door and began to check up on Sunny and Nephis
They pushed Rain and Cassie out of the room while they examined Sunny and Nephis
And most of then were women, almost all the men checked up on Sunny while the women checked up on Nephis, but some women were checking Sunny which ignited a sense of fury inside of Nephis for some reason
Soon, almost every Twilight Keeper's waited outside the door. And Effie and Kai also appeared
"Hey, Raindrop, is your brother and his girlfriend really there?" Effie asked Rain
Rain pouted and nodded
"Yes, and stop calling me Raindrop!" Rain crossed her arms
Effie laughed and patted her head
"Your name is Raindrop because you're adorable"
After a while of waiting, a doctor came out with a small sigh
"Both of them are sleeping, other than that, they seem fine"
All lot of the Twilight Keepers asked if they Ascended and the doctor said yes and a whole lot of other things before the cohort could be with Sunny and Nephis alone
"I hope the government didn't ask too many questions" Cassie said softly
Sunny and Nephis nodded which added a bit more to the awkward situation. Soon Effie sighed and then laughed
"You both really are crazy. Ascending as Sleepers? That's insane beyond reason"
Sunny grinned while Nephis shrugged
"Yeah well, I was wandering the 2nd Nightmare for like 10 months? I honestly don't know" Sunny sighed
Everyone stared at him with disbelief before Nephis shuffled closer and touched his cheek
"... You're not wearing the mask" Nephis frowned which made everyone confused
And the first people who spoke was the entire cohort besides Nephis
"You have been alone for 10 months?!" all three of them yelled
Sunny coughed and shrugged
"I hardly remember any of it because I was pretty out of it"
Cassie sighed, Effie mouth hung wide open, Kai was absolutely terrified for Sunny
Then Cassie said
"Oh yeah, everyone now thinks your True Name is Shadow Star"
Sunny blinked a few times, then rubbed his eyes, to blink a couple more times before saying is a shocked tone
"You made the entire public think my True Name is Shadow Star?"
Cassie shook her head
"More like the government made it that your True Name was Shadow Star, so I convinced everyone to say that your True Name is Shadow Star" Cassie shrugged
Nephis looked at both of them before saying
"That's not a bad method to prevent people from asking for his True Name"
Sunny stared at her before shaking his head
"No that still won't work, I haven't given conformation that it is my True Name so they might still ask if that is my True Name" Sunny rubbed his forehead
Effie let out a laugh before saying
"That's what you would think, but we just said that you gotten a True Name in your 1st Nightmare and didn't say anything because they never asked"
Sunny sighed before saying
"That solves a bit but let's still be careful"
Everyone nodded before Effie asked
"You guys wanna know what our 2nd Nightmare is?" Effie pointed at herself with her thumb
Sunny and Nephis nodded which prompted Effie, Kai and Cassie say their parts of the story
Kai tried to kill a dragon and lost, he went to a sanctuary, and soon Cassie came, convinced Noctis to get a few people to break Effie out of the weird warrior making thingy
They rested, trained, and soon they were ready for war against the other Chain Lords, but before they could, a lone Shadow Spawn riding a horse came and helped Noctis to defeat the Chain Lords
They fought and Cassie found herself in a dream with the Shadow Spawn and the horse and they told her to kill them because they were dying and they smelt Shadow on her so she reluctantly obliged and killed both of then when they were dying. She gotten a Echo from the horse and a Memory from the Shadow Spawn
They finally beat the Chain Lords but Sunny and Nephis was shocked that Kai been eaten by a dragon. And luckily they were fine
"That's a lot to digest" Sunny groaned and laid down on the bed
He looked out the window and saw that it's nighttime. The suddenly Cassie grabbed his hand
"I forgot to give you this"
Sunny felt that Cassie was giving him a Memory and a Echo. He quickly summoned the runes and saw the Echo, he grinned and then checked the runes for the Memory

Sunny kept grinning until Nephis poked his cheek again
"You're grinning like a mad man again" Nephis frowned
He blinked and looked at everyone before shrugging
"The Memory and Echo is extremely useful"
Sunny wanted to sleep so everyone besides Nephis left to leave them to sleep. And the next day came
Cassie quietly entered the room and saw Nephis sleeping on Sunny
'Oh, now this is what I call blackmail material' Cassie quietly walked over and took a bunch of photos
She coughed and hid her phone to shake Sunny and Nephis awake. They opened their eyes and sat up
After a whole lot of things happened(also meeting Julius ofc because we can't forgot ma boi) , plus showing Nephis the photos, they finally got in the car
Then suddenly Sunny got a message from a communicater he 'borrowed' from Kai
-Meet me next week - Jet
Surprised, Sunny quickly typed back
-First question, how do you know this number? Second question, alright sure, I'll see if I can
-I'm bsy so, I have thiss number because your frien gve me his
Sunny sighed and closed the communicater. Nephis tapped on his shoulder and asked
"Who was that?"
Sunny shrugged
"Just an acquaintance I guess?"
Nephis nodded and looked out the window of the PTV. Sunny crossed his arms as Kai drives them to the Immortal Flame manor
After driving for quite a bit of time, they reached the Manor. Sunny was marveled at the sight of the building
Sunny got out of the car and was even more amazed at the sight
"You and your Legacies" He slowly made his way to the door
Sunny saw the lock, furrowed his eyebrows, before bringing Nephis over to open it. Nephis rolled her eyes and opened the door in a way that Sunny had no idea how
Nephis pushed opened the door and the smell of dust pelted Sunny
"Oh damn, that's a lot of dust" Sunny looked around
The interior of the manor is well kept, betraying the fact that it was left alone for a few years. There was a couple of furniture that Sunny thought could be worth a bit
Nephis walked past and turned on the lights, Sunny now just knew that it was basically impossible to see for other people
"So, should we clean it up?" Sunny turned around at the Twilight Keepers
All of them nodded so they got to work. Sunny made Crene step out of his shadow, commanded it to walk around the place and bringing out anything that seemed like it was breaking. Sunny then made Saint step out of his shadow to go the other way of the manor, doing the same job
Sunny smiled and turned around to go into the synthetic garden, but was met with wide eyes
"What?"
All of the Twilight Keepers barrage him with questions until Cassie made them stop as Sunny was in pain of all the questions. He quickly answered every question and yelled at them for asking too much
Sunny soon found his way to a pretty big space and made something slither out of his shadow. And it took quite a whild
Sunny stared at the massive serpent, in fact, this serpent could probably swallow Sunny whole, and its length was around 70-90 meters
"We'll, aren't you big one?" Sunny grinned and checked its runes

Sunny stared at the runes as a small grin came onto his face. He looked up at the massive serpent and said
"Now, what should I call you?"
