"A Category Five Nightmare Gate opened in America, so we lost that side of the planet. Immortal Flame and his daughter died there, as well. Broken Sword and his cohort conquered the Third Nightmare. Then, they conquered the Fourth Nightmare and became Supremes. Then, Broken Sword was killed by his companions, and they diwied up the world."
Nightwalker whistled quietly.
"So they are Supremes now, huh? Actually... so there are Supremes now, huh?" Sunny glanced at him.
"There are seven Supremes, although three of them are already dead. Well... four, technically. Anyway - Valor, Song, and the House of Night established themselves as the Great Clans. Broken Sword's daughter got lost in the Dream Realm for a couple of years, then conquered the Second Nightmare as a Sleeper. Antarctica got swallowed by Nightmare Gates... that's one less continent, again. Your son was there, by the way, risking his life to evacuate the civilians."
Jet smiled lazily.
"I was there, as well."
Nightwalker studied her with interest.
No, actually...
'Why is that bastard leering at Jet?"
Nightwalker smiled.
"I assume that you are the Soul Reaper. Nice to meet you, young lady."
Jet chuckled pleasantly.
"Please call me Jet, mister."
Sunny stared at them, appalled.
He coughed.
"As I was saying... millions of mundane people settled in the Dream Realm. A few years later, Valor and Song went to war. The House of Night attempted to maintain neutrality,
but in the end, most of its elders were killed by Mordret, and all of its Citadels were usurped."
Nightwalker's smile dimmed.
"One man defeated my entire house?"
He turned to Naeve and Bloodwave with a somber expression.
Naeve gritted his teeth.
"That thing can hardly be called a man."
Nightwalker remained silent for a long while, then sighed and looked away. "Ah, I remember now. That boy was given to the Dreamspawn. It makes sense, then."
His voice sounded neither somber nor cheerful, just... distant. As if he was talking about
the past he had left behind.
Sunny shifted slightly.
'The Dreamspawn again...'
So Mordret had not lied.
Nightwalker and Asterion really did have a history...
