One of the Nine…
Sunny considered these words for a few moments, a deep frown twisting his bruised face. The seventh incarnation just raised an eyebrow, maintaining a nonchalant attitude.
He had encountered traces left behind by the mysterious Nine a few times throughout the years. However, he knew neither who the members of this nebulous group were nor what their purpose was. All he knew was that they seemed to have left deep scars on the history of the Dream Realm.
Auro of the Nine, the adversary of his First Nightmare.
Eurys of the Nine, the guide who had led Nephis to her Second Nightmare.
And Alethea of the Nine, the First Seeker… the source of the Defilement whose destruction had ended their Third.
And now, here was the fourth.
…A shadow of the fourth, at least.
Sunny stared at the dazed archer, then turned to study the white skull intently before speaking.
"And who, exactly, are the Nine?"
