(The next day. The sun rises and light begins to shine upon this unknown land once more. Waking up at an early dawn, Ronin opens his eyes as he lies on a soft patch of grass next to the shrine location. Sitting up and looking around as his vision clears, Ronin looks for Aleah but she is not in her usual spot on the rock.) (Getting up from the ground and brushing off his clothes, Ronin spots Aleah below the cliff standing on the rocky beach as the waves crash against the shore with a heavy breeze the air.) Ronin: *walks down the hill leading to the sand*. "Hey, have you been awake this whole time?" Aleah: *turns and glances at Ronin*. "It is my job to guide those that venture through this land at all times, for that I do not rest." Ronin: *looks out to the glistening water in the ocean*. "Honestly.....I don't know why I'm here or....why I'm still alive. My companions and.....my daughter.....they all died and I still live. Why must I continue to suffer?" (As Ronin stares out into the ocean, Aleah appraoches him and grabs his hands, giving him an item.) Ronin: *opens his palm to view the item*. "What is this?" Aleah: "It is the fragment of a coiled sword. If you ever seek to find me when you have lost your way, that item will guide you." Ronin: *places the item into his pocket*. "You are here to guide those that enter, I assume you are guiding them somewhere. Tell me, where should I go?" Aleah: *places her hands underneath her robe*. "Follow me." (Walking back up to the top of the hill and back near the shrine, Aleah sits back down on the rock and tells Ronin to go back where he once came from. Doing this, he will find a path that will lead him to answers of the past, present, and future within this life.) Ronin: *curiously stares at Aleah*. "Do I need a weapon or anything like that? This land can't be all safe, it's uncharted territory for me." Aleah: *looks down to her hands and goes mute once more*. "...." Ronin: "Sigh......great, just what I needed." (Looking around the area with his eyes from the rock location, Ronin tries to spot anything or anyone else that could have shown up before setting off back to the cave where he came from. Not seeing anything, Ronin walks back into the dark cave and appraoches the steel door that for some reason, closed itself after Ronin left it open. Pulling on the door handle, the door manages to still be unlocked and Ronin steps inside the dark hallway.) (Walking down the hallway, thinking to himself that he'll just find the bonfire again, Ronin is indeed correct with his assumption and the bonfire is still there. But this time, the flame within the bonfire is much larger and gives off a strange vibe of a warp station.) (Staring into the bonfire as if it is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, Ronin slowly reaches out with his hand and touches the coiled sword. As the flames from the bonfire link inside Ronin's body once more, the terrain in the surrounding area of the tunnel begins to destroy itself and fall to pieces, leaving just the platform with the bonfire standing.) (Taking his eyes away from the fire, the area of the tunnel has completly changed as if Ronin is in a completly different realm. The sky above is dark and cloudy with lighting flashing above the clouds, the land around him that he could once walk on has completly disappeared into nothing but a dark void.) Ronin: *holds his hand over his heart as a sharp pain shoots through his body*. "Agh!.....I feel like I'm losing control of myself...." (Taking a step forward, Ronin looks down from the platform he is on to see a massive black hole below with ghostly white figures flying around within.) Ronin: *breathing heavily as he stares into the black hole below, body sweating profusevly*. "I feel......I must..." (Holding his arms out to his sides, Ronin closes his eyes and takes a step off the platform, falling into the black hole below.)
