...
The voice seemed to possess a magical quality, dispelling the last vestiges of its confusion and darkness.
It felt its vision gradually brighten.
It saw.
It saw a young figure holding a skull-topped magic staff, completely shrouded in a wide black robe and hood.
This figure, this aura, seemed to be seared deep into its Soul Fire, filling it with a sense of familiarity and trust.
That was... Master.
The Master's will was supreme.
'So, my name is [Bone Spear Hainuo].'
Its Soul Fire flickered with joy.
"Work hard for me," the familiar voice said again, a hint of a smile in its tone. "From now on, you'll be one of my great generals. Stick with me, and you'll live a life of luxury, with endless fun."
Hainuo could not fully comprehend what its master was saying, but it knew he was praising it and placing great hope in it.
A tremor of excitement made its Soul Fire burn even brighter.
