As he approached the island he noticed something off about it. Some presence was there which he couldn't put his finger on. He gets out of the boat and entered the forest. He doesnt make it very far before a trap sets off and leaves him dangling upside down. As he struggles the rope eats away his pants leg and starts eating away flesh. 'Ah crap' He looks around and finds what appears to be a machete and lopped off the rope and falls to the ground.

As he lands a bunny hops out and twitchs its nose at him "Hello Mr Bunny." He picks himself up then proceeded on while being wary of more traps. The sun begins to set on the island. He goes off to find dry wood for a fire when he stumbled across a white and small object in the trees. He grabbed it and it appeared to be a flute of sorts.

A bird flies over to him and speaks. "Message message!" He looks up at the bird Reds voice comes through. 'I forgot to mention, dont kill... she.... key.... open ....unless...' they message continues to cut out. Connor stares at the bird as it flew off, trying to process what Red was trying to say. He shrugs and continues walking. Somehow a tune came to his memory and he started playing it on the flute. The island begins to hum and glow. He stops and looks around. "Huh?" The humming and glowing stops as soon as the tune did.

He looked at the flute and a memory came to him of a woman playing the same tune. Who was her and.... why was she so nice to him. He smiled and a tear ran down his cheek. "M... mother." The was a rustle coming from a bush then a tiger jumps out suddenly and tries to pin him. He dodged it and slashed at it with the machete. The tigers wounds heals and it jumps at him again. "Crap." He dodged and he's started to run while being wary of more traps. After a while the tiger disappears and he stopped and sat on the ground to catch his breath.

The wind blows almost sounding like a whisper. The leaves and flowers start playing the same tune as the flute. "Huh?" He looks around. The tune gets louder and becons him. He follows it deeper in the woods. It leads him to a field with a stone in the center. He carefully inspects the stone. The stone hums in the voice of a young girl. He scans the field for the source of the voice."Huh?"

He looked at the flute for a minute then he played a single note to test something. The whole island hums for a moment then stops the moment the note ended. He pays the tune again and the island once more hums and glows until everything turns white. The light shines till he's blinded by the light.
