The floor of the cavern was littered with fragments of shattered crystal. Sunny had recalled the Obsidian Wasps back into the dark depths of his soul and dismissed his helmet, inhaling the frigid air deeply.
Now that the sounds of the slaughter had ceased, the melodious tinkling of the crystal wind chimes permeated the silence once more.
He exhaled slowly, knowing that the soothing melody would be erased from existence before too long, as well.
'...Not bad, for my first move.'
He had taken one of the Snow figures off the board.
Taking a few steps forward, shards of crystal crunching under his feet, Sunny used the blade of his odachi to sweep some of them away. This was where he had killed the last of the Crystal Wasps, and so…
'There.'
Crouching, he reached down and picked up a jade figurine from beneath the shards. It was the Snow Beast figure — one representing the Ice Hive.
Sunny studied it for a few moments, then hid it inside his armor.
