This chapter did a really good job of reminding me of Nephis as a character. We haven't seen her since the forgotten shore, but this chapter raised a lot of old red flags. The way she clearly didn't consider Mordret important, how confident she is victory, and the way she didn't even think about the consequences of the battle on civilians. I remember that she said she knew the most about failure in a previous chap. But she hasn't shown this with her actions. She still doesn't value others as more than tools. She still will do anything for her selfish goal. The most out of character thing she has done was force Sunny through the gateway. She is still a star of ruin and change. Despite this, she was still responsible for evacuating the forgotten shore, and many of her extremely selfish actions had positive repercussions. She is as much a star of change as she is of ruins. She is a reckless, selfish leader whose conviction changes the world to fit her ideals. Sunny is her shadow, who is resolved to grant solace to whomever is left in her wake as he struggles with his own ideals, freedom, and purpose.
prediction: the fight will move to the dream realm and it will get chaotic enough where Cassie/Nephis/Sunny/Jet are forced to enter a seed (the pyramid?)sunny's fated didn't trigger for quite some time, so I'm looking forward to the next chapters.The next seed will probably have many masters (Seishan Mordret Sunny Nephis Cassie Kai Ephy...)
Thanks blind seer, for you gave me a heart attack of which I was waiting for to happen. I bet Rain is lieing or does not recognize the symptoms. She is most likely infected. That or giving her the snake was just a big wast of time or the writer just did not know what to do with the snake. Frankly everyone has been waiting for the snake to come back in play and everyone likes a payoff.
