=CLICK HERE FOR MUSIC="FALL BACK!" Giles shouts next to me as we fight the frozen corpses.
I am running.
I can outrun them.
That's not enough.
I hear Mirhi's steps.
She is running as well.
She is not fast enough.
They will get her...!
I have to stop and help her.
I cannot leave.
I hear her... they are hurting her...
A voice in my head, imposing.
I feel nothing.
It's all blurry.
Muffled sounds.
I am covered in blood but I don't feel pain.
I fought and ran for hours but I am not tired.
I left my love dying but I feel nothing.
I outran my enemies and found shelter outside.
I feel nothing but intent.
There is nothing else but me and my goal.
I have to save them.
I rest in the middle of a winter storm.
I am ready to get back in there.
I step back in the cave.
The grip on my blades is loose, relaxed.
I hear them walking toward me, those monsters.
The imposing voice in my head again.
They fall, one by one.
Anything happening around me feels fake.
Every sound muffled.
I can only hear my own voice:
"Save her."And so they fall, the cave is silent.
I find them both, Mirhi and Giles.
I use one of those strength potions to carry them outside.
Giles wakes up.
There is no time.
We can't wait to properly recover.
I need his help to bring her back to the city.
Giles says something to me.
I think I replied but I'm not really hearing it.
We have to move on.
Wolves and crag cats trying to stop us.
I slice through them.
I have no time to be careful or worried.
The potion fades.
I feel the weight on me suddenly.
I barely keep myself standing.
That voice again.
I drink another potion.
I have many.
And I keep walking down the mountain.
Giles stops me.
I think he is worried about me.
I don't know what I replied.
I need to keep walking.
The potion fades.
I drink another.
And another.
I see nothing but the horizon as it slowly shows the silhouette of Vallaki's city walls.
We walk past the gates.
We walk inside the Refuge.
I drop her body before the Sentire.
The potion fades.
And it all goes blank...
