Fire and brimstone everywhere. A giant monster causing mindless chaos. One hedgehog and "human" have met. The trial continues.
Shadow looks this new figure up and down as she sits on a ledge. She seemed awfully calm for such a situation and this caused Shadow to be cautious.
Ragyo: Quite the sight, isn't it? A shame this is what the world comes to. Where everything you fought for lies in ruin.
Shadow: What are you talking about?
She giggles before gracefully moving, almost floating from the ledge onto the building where Shadow was. She gestures to their surroundings.
Ragyo: This is your world, Shadow. Or rather, what it will become in two hundred years. An apocalypse like no other consumed your world... and everyone blamed you.
Shadow took a step back which Ragyo notices and stops walking herself.
Shadow: ...What?
Ragyo: You could feel it, couldn't you? A weird sense of familiarity when you saw the creatures that reside in this place, even though you've never seen them before?
Shadow: ...?!
Ragyo: Your connection with chaos energy is making you recognize the difference in time period, even if it's been severely weakened.
Shadow's eyes narrow in suspicion but there's a flicker of doubt.
Shadow: I've been betrayed before. I survived. I don't need your cheap lies.
She smirks.
Ragyo: Lies? Oh, I assure you, what I say is very much the truth. This is the most likely future of your world. But, you don't have to just take my word for it, I can show you proof. Proof of how this world came to be... and of your so-called allies betraying you.
The information was tempting, if anything, he knew instinctually that this world is his, even if he couldn't explain why. But, still, he hesitated to trust this person. It was then that a group of those monsters burst from the ground and pounce at Shadow.
