Soulbound
Not quite a shadow.
The Pale One smiled — faint, knowing.
“You shouldn’t be here,” it said, voice carrying the echo of a thousand deaths.
“I could say the same,” Soreth replied, though his throat was dry. “You shouldn’t exist.”
The Pale One tilted its head. “And yet, here we both are. Two ghosts searching for the same truth.”
“What truth?”
“The one your masters buried.” The Pale One’s form flickered — now nearer, close enough for Soreth to see the faint shimmer of symbols written across its skin. “The Soulbound were the price of your immortality. You just forgot who paid it.”
