The square of the Shrine was not different from the rest of them. It had been a snow-covered mountain before, but now that the Ash Domain swallowed it, the peak of the mountain shattered, and rivers of lava flowed down its slopes, melting away the snow and ice. Soon enough, it was covered in ash.
Sunny and his companions slowly ascended the slope of the newly born volcano, not in a hurry to reach the caldera. There was some time to spare, after all, since their enemies would need at least two moves to launch an attack.
'It's interesting.'
Sunny looked at the pillar of smoke rising into the sky.
He was reminded of his First Nightmare — the Nameless Temple had also been located atop a snowy peak, after all. But now, the peak of the mountain had exploded and crumbled, replaced by the crater of a fuming volcano. This meant that the Shrine of Truth could not have been located there.
'Was it hidden in a cave?'
He could ask Kai, but really, Sunny was not that curious.
