When I opened my eyes, I was enveloped by the pitch-black darkness of the night and the suffocating silence of the forest.
I didn't know how long I had lain unconscious.
My body was caked in dried mud and bloodstains.
Even though I had awakened from those nightmarish dreams, from that endless cycle of death, I had no desire to move.
Everything felt so meaningless, so empty...
From where I lay, I stared up at the clouded sky.
Even the moon refused to show itself.
What was I supposed to do after getting up?
Conquer those damned ruins with Fredrinn?
But why?
I saw it... Fredrinn was going to die anyway.
Was I supposed to gather an army against the Obsidian Dawn?
Why?
No matter what I did, I couldn't win that war.
Was I supposed to kill Prince Charles and that ghost, Dr. Aris, who was still alive?
But how?
I saw it... there was no way I could defeat them.
Was I supposed to keep that foolish promise I made to Kaiser?
I can't.
