Having crossed the remaining distance, Sunny entered the city.
The humans and Nightmare Creatures both moved aside to make way, ushering him to the strange, towering shape of the glass Citadel. He studied them as he walked, feeling a bit strange to see lumbering Nightmare Creatures coexisting peacefully with humans.
The streets of Red Hill were busy, but tranquil. The strange scene was both eerie and idyllic, like a twisted illustration of an old myth about a world where predators and prey were supposed to live in perfect, harmonious peace with each other.
At the same time, Sunny could not help but feel how alien it all was.
Even Asterion and the plague he had unleashed did not feel as odd and alien as the city where Mordret ruled — where the endless variety of life was reduced to a single point of view. A single mind, a single soul, and single will. Where there was no us and them… only boundless I.
In and of itself, it was strange and a little unsettling.
