Bait and Switch

Sunny remained silent for a few moments, then stood up. 

"Please, follow me. I want to show you something."

Cassie rose, and they walked together through the impenetrable darkness. As they did, he spoke in a tone of indifference: 

"You know a lot about what I've been up to after becoming a Saint. For a while… I did not even have plans of ever returning. So, my preparations are not as extensive as yours. Still, I've been working on bringing down the Sovereigns earnestly, in my own way."

She nodded. 

"Your involvement is both welcome and appreciated. You might want to be modest, Sunny… but there is really no need to. There are very few Saints more powerful than you. Maybe even none. So, your presence alone is significant enough to change the balance of power entirely."

Sunny smiled.
