{More than a decade ago, Vault of Knowledge, Doorway to the Eye of Eden}

[In a room iluminated by flashing lighting, there lies the Doorway to the Eye of Eden. A young man and a toddler enter in this sad fateful night. The man, carrying his toddler sister, arrive at the doorway to the Eye of Eden. With a sad face, he looks at her.]

Toddler
Big brother? Why are you sad?

Young Man
... I have to go.

Toddler
Come back?

Young Man
I can't...

Toddler
But... but...

Young Man
I wish I can but I can't.

Toddler
But you'll be alone.

Young Man
I won't... because I have you in my heart.

Toddler
*cries*

Young Man
I'm sorry my dear sister...

[The young man puts his crying sister down and hugs her close. He starts weeping. His sister kept begging him not to go alone but the man knew he had to leave his only sister in order to protect her from harm. He could not bear seeing his sister suffer without him but he wanted her to have a good life, even if it was without him. The angry thunderstorm roars on and on, the dark blue atmosphere making up the sorrow.]

Young Man
I wish I could stay and spend time with you but I need to go.

Toddler
*cries*

Young Man
Can you do one favor for me?

Toddler
*sniffs* m-mhm...

Young Man
Once I close the door, I want you to point your hand at it and say "seal". Once you see the glow, leave this place and never come here again.

Toddler
O-Okay...

Young Man
I love you sister...

Toddler
I love you too brother...

Young Man
Take care of yourself and everyone for me okay?

Toddler
Okay...

[He walks beyond the door of Eden and looks back at his sister one last time with a sad smile and then finally closes the doors. The toddler points her open hand to the door. She was still weeping that it took her sometime before finally saying it.]

Toddler
Seal...

[Her hand and the door glows a bright yellow for sometime then it returns back to normal. There was a slight silence. The toddler looks at the door and starts crying alone with no one to comfort her. The pained young man hears his crying sister and starts crying as well. It was unbearable pain that would kill him at some point.]

Young Man
I'm sorry everyone... especially you my dearest sister... Goodbye...

[Its unknown about what had happened to the toddler afterwards...]

{Present, Eye of Eden, Temple of the Leader}

[Pythoris is in his room somewhat feeling unwell. Arminite checks in, worried for Pythoris.]

Arminite
Pythoris, is everything alright?

Pythoris
Just give me a bit okay? You go p-prepare the soldiers for another raid.

Arminite
... You sure you don't need help with anything?

Pythoris
I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Close the door on your way out.

Arminite
Yes sir...

[Arminite leaves the room and closes the room's door.]

Pythoris
... who is this sister of yours in your memory?

"That's not for you to ask of me."

Who knows? I could let you two reunite and I can leave you forever in peace.

"As if I'll believe you. You're the reason I chose to leave her."

Well if someone kills you, the cycle will only continue.

"Unless someone finds a way to destroy it."

It's impossible. Now what about her name?

"I'm not telling you."

You make me feel sick! I don't know how you managed to seal yourself away here for many years and you still manage to try to fight. It's futile. Once I reign over every-

"Shut up... Shut up! I will make sure you don't win and take my sister!"
