His body was still in terrible pain after the short clash with the Deathless Sovereign, so he hoped that the bastard would feel some pain in his bones, as well.
Still kneeling on the deck of the Chain Breaker, Sunny gritted his teeth and pushed away the maddening litany of the Call. Then, he tied the strip of white fabric Nephis had given him around his eyes, and only then stood up to evaluate the situation.
