[i]The trees ahead shift, with the path opening again. It leads upward.[/i]
English
-
I sigh and continue along the path. "Where am I?"
-
[i]The wind blows against the trees, ahead are cherry blossoms, strange as it's not spring or summer.[/i]
-
My head turns to the side as I admire the cherry blossoms. "Odd."
-
[i]Ahead is a bridge, over a giant ass waterfall and lake.[/i]
-
I walk along the path to the bridge and inspect it before crossing.
-
[i]It's stable and sturdy, across is a Bamboo forest with a cave with an open entrance.[/i]
-
I walk toward the cave, candle in front of me.
-
[i]Inside the cave you hear a water current. Suddenly the entrance behind is sealed shut.[/i]
-
"One way to go now." August continues walking toward the sound of water.
-
[i]You near the edge and you see a long drop down.[/i] "What's your purpose August"? You hear a voice say.
-
"To fight. For justice." He looks into the darkness.
-
"But August...you left us" you hear your mother's voice say. "August...where were you 4 years ago", your father says.
-
"I... I tried I just wasn't.... Wasn't strong enough." Tears filled his eyes.
-
[i]Suddenly the flame grows brighter, and you see a figure of Raze in front of you.[/i]
-
A rage boils through August's veins and his fist clenches. "You! You--" he catches himself in his anger and tries to slow his breathing and calm down.
-
[i]It dissipates. And the voice of Eos can be heard.[/i] "August- you cannot save them...but you must save those who cannot fend for themselves".
-
He nods as he now breaths normally. "I should have saved the child." Feelings of guilt sweep over me, as if the very darkness around me is closing in to consume me as an embodiment of shame.
-
[i]The candle's blue flame ignites brighter, the other side of the cave begins to shine light- the exit.[/i]
-
I trudge on. The darkness seems to weigh less at the sight of light. I exit the cave and look around.
-
[i]You hear a yell directly ahead, trees and bushes appear to obstruct your vision however- but the voices seem similar.[/i]
-
I sprint toward the sound of the voices.
-
[i]You see the Oni- it holds your parents hostage with his kanabo up in an executioner stance. [/i] [i]The other sided you see the Kitsune- bladed talons over the throats of your fellow classmates from the boarding school.[/i] "....choose", the Kitsune says.
-
August takes a deep breath. He glances into the eyes of his parents. "I'm sorry, but your already gone. And many lives takes precedent over the few, even my own. It would selfish of me to save you." He teleports, grabs his classmates and teleports them and himself to safety as a time fissure unwinds at the Kinsune's feet.
-
[i]A powerful wind blows and the spirits dissolve. The students and your parents are gone and the path forward is clear. You see that it is dark, but fire lights the pathway up the hill, your candle glows even brighter.[/i]
-
I continue walking along the path. Reflecting on the experience from moments before.
