Once again, Sunny gave Kai and Slayer one jade Beast figure each, to be sacrificed to the Shrine of Truth. Everything happened as it had happened before — after being placed on the altar, the figures turned to ash and were absorbed by them. A second ring was added to the one already encircling their soul cores…
Well, a soul core in the case of Kai. In the case of Slayer, though, Sunny was not entirely sure what to call the radiant ember at the heart of her unfathomably dark self. A shard of a core in a shadow of a soul, perhaps.
Looking at it, he remembered what Eurys had told him once. That his Shadows were not entirely complete… if there was a way to complete, though, Sunny did not know what it was. Or if there was a need or a benefit to completing them.
All he knew was that Slayer had been complete before being slain by his blade, but now, she was a part of him — just like the rest of his Shadows were.
'Another mystery to solve… one day.'
