Sunny remembered his first clash with Morgan very well.
Back then, he had been a mere Awakened. Nevertheless, as far as Awakened went, he had considered himself to be somewhat of an outlier in terms of personal power and combat skill… he had even entertained the idea of winning their duel.
Sunny had been blessed with the powers of a Divine Aspect, trained by Changing Star of the Immortal Flame clan and tempered in the ruthless crucible of the Forgotten Shore, and possessed of an Aspect Legacy.
So, there had been a reason for his confidence.
The streak of easy wins he had achieved in the Dreamscape also played a role. Even though some of the opponents he had faced were challenging foes, none managed to make him feel seriously threatened.
Sunny had involuntarily grown a little arrogant.
…Morgan had destroyed that arrogance.
