Chapter 43: Forgiveness

After leaving Blossom Grove and returning to Neon City.

Housewhite Motel

Haah! Haah! Haah!

Waking up, Zain splashed cold water on his face. The dream brought up old memories. Memories he did not wish to recall.

"...I'm still afraid of fires. I was fine both times, when I fought Brawler and the Ascendant Serpentilith burned the forest, but maybe it was the adrenaline rush that saved me back then…" Zain said as he stared at his trembling hands.

Only now it was coming to him that he had survived the Serpentilith hellhole in the Blossom Grove. 

Shining Stars Shadows, Soul Phasing, Emily healing him, Godsbane Needle. He would have died if anything was missing. 

After calming himself down, Zain went to Hanged Tarot Pub. 

"I'm here to collect the rewards," He said while entering the empty pub.
