Swordmad smiled after hearing Yale's oath.
"I am sure that you will do it. Now, go ahead. Don't lose your time by the shackles of the past."
There wasn't a concept of time in the Timeless Border, but Swordmad wasn't speaking about that literally, and Yale understood it before leaving.
Swordmad knew that Yale inwardly wanted to know more about his previous life, but Swordmad didn't want that Yale would end sacrificing everything just to learn about it.
Yale continued his path across the darkness while meeting a lot of shadows on his way.
"I have been waiting for you, Yale."
When Yale heard a boy welcome him in that way, he was quite shocked. Although all the shadows showed interest in meeting others, only those who had a relationship with Yale knew about his name.
