Boom.
A figure rushed past him. The Nightmare creature.
Soren turned to look.
Cynthia was at the other side.
He frowned. 'So that's how it works. If I don't engage with the illusion, it will not move forward.'
Unlike the last time, Soren did not sat 'Hi' to Cynthia—it was not the real her.
He went back into his room, and sat on his bed to think.
From what Polystar said about the nightmare creatures, he had yo break away from the joy they provided, so that he could break away from feeding them his despair.
However, if Soren was being totally honest, despair was not the emotion he was experiencing.
The entire method of the Nightmare creature's feeding included giving joy, abd then seizing it.
Therefore giving despair.
With his 'party' wining the winter games, he could see how that was giving him joy.
But the despair aspect flew through his head.
Maybe something scary was supposed to happen after winning.
Or maybe like a meteor shower from spa e or something.
