{Doorway to the Eye of Eden}

[Marching warriors approach the doorway of the Eye of Eden. Spearmen, swordsmen, claymore users, gem users, archers and more are lead mainly by the Organizational Leader Galloris alongside the Blessed Lyrinn and Syronos, and the Generals Lloyden and Reyn. The Doors open and everyone heads inside. The Eye of Eden was a stormy area, ruined by corruption. Glowing red shards lay among the area, draining any source of light that came in contact. Powerful winds strong enough to carry heavy rocks, whipped among open areas. Dark dragons lurked. Yet all of these were nothing but small, passable obstacles to the trained warriors. The real danger was about to arrive.

Arriving in front of the Temple of Eden, many corrupted soldiers guard the place. Temple doors open and a group of opposing soldiers march out. With one loud word, the war begins.]

Galloris
Attack!

[The warriors run forward to attack the corrupted soldiers, fighting with all their might. With their unique strength, the warriors manage to advance quickly into the temple. Even as the soldiers are stronger as the warriors advance, nothing could stop them. As they arrive in the throne room, Pythoris and Arminite prepare their weapons.]

Corrupted Pythoris
Kidnap the girl. I'll gather more guards.

Arminite
Alright be careful.

Corrupted Pythoris
You too.

[Pythoris flees the battle field. Arminite attempts to get to Lyrinn however Galloris swiftly blocks Arminite's advance, forcing the two to fight. Syronos runs after Pythoris and Lyrinn follows. Galloris tries to go after Lyrinn but Arminite blocks him. Soldiers and warriors continue to fight and kill.

Noticing the blessed ones running after him, Pythoris summons the strongest soldiers and runs off. Syronos and Lyrinn quickly took them on without any problem, resuming their chase in the seemingly endless hallways. Eventually, they reach an arch leading to the Area of Sacrifice, a long forgotten area, said to be the area of no return once entered. The area after the arch was pitch black but a small red light was at the end. With a bit of time on their hands, they gave their last hug and have one last talk.]

Syronos
Lyrinn... once I pass through this arch, I won't be able to return.

Lyrinn
I know... you taught me about this area.

Syronos
Lyrinn, know I was always proud of you and that I always loved you dearly.

Lyrinn
I'll miss you...

Syronos
I'll miss you too.

Lyrinn
Will you be okay? Without me?

Syronos
I will... I'm sure you will be okay without me too.

[In the distance, screams and shouts become louder. The army of warriors and soldiers grew closer. Serenity and silence shrunk in the vicinity. Syronos and Lyrinn let go for the last time. They sadly smile at each other one last time then Syronos slowly walks towards the gap of the arch with tears flowing from his face thinking it was his demise. However, something grabs his hand tightly and stops him.]

Syronos
Hmm?

[Lyrinn forcefully jerks Syronos away from the arch and runs near the arch.]

Syronos
Lyrinn!? What are you doing!?

Lyrinn
Seal.

[A barrier is created between Lyrinn and Syronos. He bangs on the seal calling out to Lyrinn not to go through the ark. Syronos begs with tears, pleading that Lyrinn does not go through the arch. Lyrinn looks at her brother with a sad tearful smile.]

Syronos
Lyrinn! Don't you dare go in there please! Don't leave me please! I'm begging you! Please live! Don't go please! I already lost Pythoris! I can't lose you too!

Lyrinn
I love you so much.

[Lyrinn takes her leave no matter how much Syronos begs for her to come back, she never did. Footsteps grow louder and eventually someone arrives in the scene. Galloris runs into the scene and sees Syronos in tears and Lyrinn was no where to be found. Afraid of what might have happened, he asks Syronos.]

Galloris
Where's Lyrinn!?

Syronos
Sh-She went in and sealed herself away...

Galloris
Wh-What!?

[Galloris tries to bang on the seal, trying to break it but it was in vain. Knowing their efforts were in vain, the two wept for they have lost Lyrinn. The war was still going on. Reyn and Lloyden kept fighting against the corrupted soldiers along with the other warriors.

Lyrinn arrives alone in the area of Sacrifice, her brother, still trapped in the cage of corruption, awaits her.]
