Eventually, they made it to the graveyard of Soul Serpents. Eurys was just where Sunny had left him — a dozen kilometers away, at the bottom of a tall dune.
It seemed that the ancient skeleton had not managed to crest it yet, rolling down its steep slope countless times.
At the moment, he was sprawled on the black sand, staring at the sky. A distant essence storm illuminated his shattered bones, painting an eerie picture — when Sunny and Nephis rose from the shadows, the white skull turned, staring at them with empty eye sockets.
Sunny had to suppress a shudder, remembering the abhorrent skeleton that lay hidden in the Abyss.
Eurys remained silent for a few moments, and then said in a creaky voice:
"My, oh my. It seems that I have guests. Ah, what to do? Please forgive me, children… the whole place is a mess…"
From his tone, it was hard to say what place he was talking about — the bottom of the tall dune, the Shadow Realm, or the entire world.
