Nine months had passed since he interrogated that person, found out about his 'vision', and during that time, ironically enough, a man called June did, in fact, join the Shadow Clan.
That was crazy.
Another thing that happened was him folding to Cassie on the bed and having a beautiful child! They had the decision to have the child and used Will, while the situation was peaceful—thus it was the perfect time.
Sunny walked in his room, towards Cassie who was holding the child, and playing with it. She looked beautiful. Ethereal, even. And the way she held the child... That was simply divine.
The child's name was Sublunary—based off of the man himself, Noctis. The same person Sunny grew a little close to in his Second Nightmare, and the one who taught Cassie Runic sorcery, and who but their child could live to his name?
There was another thing that happened during that time... Cassie achieved Supremacy—along with her Aspect Legacy, a whole lotta memories of different people—right as the child was being delivered. That was a little weird, but the author assured them that her supremacy didn't mean anything much apart from proof of escaping a worse wife in comparison... So that was a blessing.
During that time more Saints joined Nephis' domain, while reducing the Saints of Song, but in a way that didn't affect her domain too significantly.
But it wasn't all quiet either—Song's forces were on the move which meant that she was gaining more Saints. Along with that, Morgan was nowhere to be seen, going AWOL.
Lastly, Sunny gathered three more fragments of his lineage, missing only the Shadow Weave, and during one of them he encountered Mordret—who later achieved Supremacy by killing the Skinwalker.
'Why is it that among the new Supremes the only ones who didn't need to use their Aspect as their Defiance me and Cassie? Such injustice!'
Even then, Cassie had it easy...
Not that Sunny thought it was! Talk about being biased...
'Shut the fuck up, author!'
[The fuck did I do, huh?]
...
[Don't just leave me on read!]
...
"Oh, you're here," Cassie broke Sunny out of his thoughts, bringing him @Back to the present.
[Hey! Stop pinging me!]
"Yeah... You know how I love meeting you, right? I had to pick up one of my incarnations and Rain with her cohort," Sunny sat besides his child, "and uhh... Rain kind of wants to meet with you about a question? She mentioned seeing something strange and forgetting about it? That was... a little odd. Oh, and she wants to meet our handsome little Sublunary."
"Makes sense," Cassie smiled, "I suppose you're going to take care of the child now?"
"Yep!"
"Perfect!"
"Absolutely!"
"Go kiss already," the author said that from somewhere no one knew.
"Get the camera off us you asshole." The couple said at the same time.
"Fair enough."
And then, Sunny and Cassie moved a tad bit away from the child and proceeded to kiss, without realising that this certain part was not, in fact, off-screen'd. On the bright side, the rest of it was! They had a minute long goodbye kids before Cassie departed, leaving Sunny alone to take care of the child. Pretty easy, really. Definitely not a task harder than battling a Nightmare Creature, nope! 'I mean, it's just a child, how bad can it be?'
He couldn't have been more wrong.

"Hi sister-in-law," Rain greeted Cassie with a smirk reaching her eye and gleaming eyes, while barely managing to keep herself from squealing and jumping, "how is my nephew?"
And then she jumped... and squealed, failing quite miserably.
"You can see him later, he's with Sunny."
"We greet the Queen of Shadow," Rain's cohort members interrupted their talk, pulling them out and making them come back to their purpose of conversation.
"Thanks," Cassie smiled until it reached her eyes, lighting up the entire room, "so, what did you want to say? And, oh, I forgot to say but congratulations on Ascending! You are all Masters now!"
"Thank you, Lady Cassia, and congratulations on having a child!" June and the legacy girls responded, and was followed by Rain.
"Thanks."
"Thanks for your thanks."
"Tha—wait, no get out of my head. You are not cooling me _again._" Cassie snapped.
[Damn It! I thought it would work!]
"Anyways, what did you all want to ask," Cassie coughed.
"It all happened when..." June...
"No, shut the fuck up," Rain stopped June as if stopping a tragedy.
"But I didn't even—"
"No," Rain stopped him once again in a way that the readers either started making the ship sail or let the ship crash like the Titanic...
"But—"
"No buts. Anyways, we saw something and then forgot about it the next moment, and anytime we kept searching for it, we couldn't notice the thing... and so we were wondering if it was caused by some Nightmare Creature, or something happened which was similar to Sunny."
Hearing that quick summary a thought—or rather, a name—popped up in Cassie's mind.
Asterion...
He was back.
