Chapter 1473 Hiding in the Tower

Chapter 1473 Hiding in the Tower

Anyone else would, but he already had something to substitute artificial sentience with... the true sentience of the silent shadows dwelling within the darkness of his soul.

If he could change the weave of a Memory to that of an Echo... even if the resulting Echo lacked the most important quality — the false spark of life to animate it — his Aspect could theoretically allow him to convert the defective Echo into a perfectly fine Shadow, given that the original Memory and the dark spirit shared the same source and were thus compatible.

Nevertheless, he set his eyes on the Covetous Coffer, which already possessed a few qualities necessary for an Echo, and shared some qualities with the Quiet Dancer, as well. The shadow of the Mordant Mimic was there, in Sunny's soul, so he decided to make it his test subject. He was only starting to consider how to go about making the Coffer into a partial Echo, though, when something unexpected happened. As he was coaxing the temperamental rapier into staying still and letting him study her weave...

The entire tower suddenly shook.
