Chapter 185: B2: C85: Call Me Wallen
Wallenberg took in the views as they drew closer to the Death Lord Mega Mansion, up from the sky of all things.
He looked behind Princess Bianca and saw the opening in the city where gray fumes and orange sparks from the Slag River rose into the air. He saw the sprawling and maze-like bazaar that was the Violet Market, teeming with locals, goblins, and people from around the World of Castles and Caverns. He saw the hardy dark trees and rugged structures of the troll district where Lord Gilbert continued his mad jubilee with the trolls.
Looking forward, Wallenberg saw a strange light and eerie bright blueness peeking above the massive and intimidating ridgelines and highland crenelations on top of the Grimrock Castle Mountains.
Three dominant moons, one pale, one orange, and one blue, led the stars and other celestial lights toward the west as the east brightened more and more with the light blue color and the edge of something even more radiant.
Then when the Floridians slowed to a hover over the mega manor, Wallenberg shivered in the princess’s arms as a light he’d never seen before climbed over the top of the castle mountains.
It was yellow like honey and gold, warm to touch, and unlike anything he’d ever known in his life. Even the stories from travelers about the pure and unblocked morning light could hardly do justice to seeing and feeling it for the first time in his life.
“Look Wally, there go the suns. The Corma Star and the Star Core,” Princess Bianca pointed out as the region and central city of Crossdeath saw their first sunrise in over a thousand years.
“Wallen,” he said. “How about you call me Wallen?”
“Huh … yeah, I can see you being a ‘Wallen,’ and it’s a tough name, almost like a bad boy. Wallen it is!” Princess Bianca smiled, her face lighting up with approval.
