"Chrom..." He slowly opened his eyes and looked around the area. He saw a figure standing in the distance. "There you are my love... alive and well..." The voice mumbled. Chrom looked around and saw Emelia's spirit. However... she was faceless... empty.

"Emelia?" Chrom asked. He looked at her in the face. She didn't seem normal. Chrom looked hesitant at first. "Is... that you? How come you don't... have a face?"

Emelia responded, "Well... that I do not know myself but come here Chrom." Chrom took out his sword. He was getting really hesitant. "C-Chrom?!"

Chrom grumbled, "Don't come near me! I don't know if you're the real Emelia! Is it Grima or a liar?!" The room went quiet. Emelia stood there. Chrom pointed his sword at Emelia.

"Claude is dead,"

"What..." Chrom muttered. He dropped his sword and stared at Emelia in shambles.

"I... killed him..." Chrom began to shake. He had no way of defending himself until suddenly the Emelia transformed into a horrifying creature. Black ink oozing out of their body and extremely sharp teeth.

"G-GAH!!!!" Chrom screamed. He backed away from it and it transformed into Chrom. Faceless as well... "Welcome to hell... this was your fault..." Then the creature transformed into Claude.

Chrom stammered, "I-I refuse to believe that Claude is dead."

"Oh but he is," Claude laughed. Chrom got in a stance to defend himself. Suddenly the creature lashed out and jumped at Chrom and...

"AHHHHH!!!!" Chrom shouted. Zhongli put his hand on his shoulder.

Zhongli asked, "A-Are you okay?! You were fine one moment the next moment you're screaming!"

"I-I am... I'm fine. I just... saw something terrible," Chrom explained.

Byleth wondered, "What do you mean?" Chrom looked over, stared at the ground, and shook his head.

"Never mind..." Chrom mumbled. The heroes all looked at each other and shook it off. They continued to walk behind King Solorio.

"Welcome to the Light kingdom..." King Solorio was introduced as he opened the gates.
