As soon as Kai whispered the Dreamspawn's name, there was a subtle shift to the world. That shift was not something that could be seen or sensed, and yet every living thing on the bloody shores of the Lake of Tears had felt it.
And somehow, all of them had the same thought when they did.
They thought about Asterion, the Dreamspawn, invoking his name in their minds.
And so, Asterion appeared among them.
As if he had always been there, walking by their side.
"You've got yourself in quite the trouble, haven't you?"
Kai flinched and reeled away when a pleasant voice suddenly resounded from behind him.
There, a tall man with golden eyes stood, untouched by the grime and carnage of the battle. His hands were folded behind his back, and a faint smile was playing on his lips.
Kai regained his balance and looked at the Dreamspawn with a guarded expression.
Asterion chuckled.
"Why are you acting so surprised, young man? Didn't you call me yourself?"
