Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened - an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers.

Cold Logic
They ate in comfortable silence. Sunny knew that both Nephis and Cassie were tired and only had a little time to rest before Morgan would need them again, so he did not waste that time with idle conversations.
It was not like he had a lot to say, anyway.
Still, there was one question that he had to ask.
Pushing the plate away, Sunny glanced at Nephis and lingered for a moment.
"I was told that there might be some kind of duel instead of a battle. Do you think it's possible?"
She did not hurry with an answer.
Neph cradled a cup of tea in her hands as she stared into the amber liquid. Eventually, she said:
"I don't know. It is… a kind of tradition. The Legacy Clans would not have survived if they resolved every conflict by spilling rivers of blood — there are actually not that many of us, after all. However, neither Valor nor Song are acting the way they used to. So it's hard to tell."
