Sunny's incarnations stood at the very edge of the charred tangle, looking out on the rows of ancient barrows beyond.
The land of barrows separated the Forgotten Shore from the Burned Forest, serving as the boundary between these two dark realms.
One of the incarnations dismissed the heavily damaged Jade Mantle, allowing it to retreat under his skin… or rather, into his skin.
Then, he smiled mischievously.
"...How much are you willing to bet that whatever is sleeping in these barrows will one day wake up and make us regret having turned our backs on it?"
The other avatar shrugged arrogantly.
"When it does, we will kill it, then bury it properly this time."
Sunny had not ventured inside the barrows after that ominous first time, preferring to keep watch on them from a distance. Of course, he would have to deal with that threat sooner or later… but for now, he was willing to let the mystery of the ancient burial ground rest, since it wasn't actively bothering him.
