"Zhongli, back then in the fire kingdom... something was bothering you, what was that?" Albedo asked. Zhongli looked at him and he remembered the flag.

Zhongli replied, "I know I was the one who suggested that we should get over this but... I just can't stop thinking about Chrom..."

Albedo agreed, "I agree with you, don't worry about it, I understand why you haven't been able to forget Chrom."

"But the thing is, the fire represented of his boldness and the fierceness he had, that is if you understand me," Zhongli described.

Albedo replied, "Yeah, yeah I get that. But understand this. Chrom doesn't want us mourning forever we must carry on in his name..." Zhongli looked at him in the face.

"I guess so... plus we need to continue our quest of Queen Bailey," Zhongli agreed. Albedo gave him an embrace and they continued walking.

"Hello?" Zhongli asked. The area was dark and ominous. He saw a light at the end of the forest. The fog continued to cover up and there was a shadow.

"Hello?" Zhongli asked. The shadow walked closer, they appeared to have a long... long cape. They seemed human. They came closer and closer towards Zhongli. Then the fog cleared up. It was... Chrom?

Zhongli questioned, "C-Chrom?" Chrom looked at him dead in the eyes, his skin was pale and his blue eyes... were almost gray.

"You know who I am... right?" He muttered. Zhongli looked at him he seemed normal but yet, at the same time not. Chrom raised his cape up, it was incredibly long for no reason whatsoever.

Zhongli responded, "I know who you are Chrom... what are you doing here?" Chrom walked up to him and touched his shoulders. Zhongli was starting to feel... uncomfortable, the scene was just... unsettling.

"I... thought you could do better," Chrom mumbled into his ear. Zhongli pushed him away from him, he stared at Chrom in the eyes. "I... hate you."

"WAKE UP!!" Albedo shouted. Zhongli shook awake and looked over at Albedo.

"Sorry... I saw something strange..." Zhongli replied. They continued to walk down the path.
