[Kingdom of Rahmanus. Enter Clyde Arrowny unmasked but heavily disguised so nobody will recognise him. There are Shin-Ra infantrymen on every street corner as well as the common Rahmanus soldiers. The place has changed a lot yet the people are all the more complying]
Clyde Arrowny: [aside] So they have accepted the change or so it seems. My family murdered and this is how the people they protected repay them, by submitting to tyranny. Sheep, mere prey for the corrupt and the greedy. My home is truly dead.
Shadow #1: There is nothing here for you, leave...
Shadow #2: They will find you.
Shadow #3: Yes... find...
Clyde Arrowny: I am not here for anybody, the treasure vault in the palace is home to many weapons & relics known to combat the darkness, something I am currently incapable of doing. Your loyalty wavers, I cannot risk my life until Bonnie is avenged, otherwise all this was for nothing.
Shadow #1: You will not go unnoticed.
Shadow #2: You will be found and you will perish.
Shadow #3: Yes, perish...
Clyde Arrowny: You taught me how to entirely conceal by presence from hume and immortal alike. Besides, nobody knows the inside of that palace better than I. Even with my inside knowledge, I am still at great risk. Any mistakes will cost me my life.
[Clyde walks within sight of the palace and appears to shatter into glass fragments, this illusion allows his being to remain unseen for a brief period of time. Using this, he slips into the palace unnoticed. He travels the heavily patrolled corridor until he reaches a large cabinet with articles, relics and books on display]
Shadow #1: This is not the way to the vault...
Clyde Arrowny: Shut up, I know what I am doing.
[Clyde looks nervously around him but there are no guards present. He removes a book from its place causing the bookshelf to part revealing a passageway]
See? It will close in a matter of seconds, the noise will most likely attract guards, which means we are short of time.
[Exit Clyde]
