{REALM: YGGDRASIL}
{DEPTH 25}
{RIKU POV}
"When do you think Nyx will come back?"
Shizu's words almost rang with worry in Riku's mind just as they stepped foot on the next Depth of the current Realm. It had been a long while since his goddess disappeared on them. Almost bordering on a few days by now if his internal clock was correct. Even worse, he couldn't even contact her no matter how much he tried. It was as if something was blocking him from talking to her, which wasn't the case before even during the times when Nyx tried to shut him out of their connection.
Still, there was at least one thing keeping him at peace despite the ever increasing time that his patron deity was missing.
"I don't know, but I'm sure she's fine," he shrugged, feigning ignorance as he stared out at the complex network of tunnels in front of them. "We shouldn't worry about all-powerful immortal beings like her in the first place, to be honest."
