Fifth Sequence

After a sleepless night, Kyo wakes up to Tauriel sound asleep. His mind is hazy and dizzy, he can’t remember much of anything but something he saw in his dream which is about to fade away. A Tall… blank. Kyo analyses his surroundings and yawns. Only to realise that Corone is gone. With them being in the middle of nowhere, its only guaranteed that Corone might have been kidnapped. As Kyo stresses his life out, he suddenly falls to his knees and cries out Corone’s name, only for him to be interrupted by a light tap on his nose. He looks upfront and is greeted by Corone, who woke up hours before Kyo and Tauriel. Kyo jumps on Corone and cuddles with him, Corone feels kind of uncomfortable but he just lets it happen. After a while of cuddling the both of them sit upright to catch their breath. After a minute or two Kyo asks Corone where he has been, in which Corone replies by telling him that he felt guilty about the fact that Kyo and Tauriel went through so much trouble for his sake and he felt like he just had to repay them in some way. Corone went out and gathered some vegetables and fruit for the trio in order to keep themselves healed and healthy. Why fruits and vegetables you ask? its because Corone couldn’t bring himself to kill an animal so he just went for the less painful option. Kyo is ecstatic about this. He hasn’t eaten in a very long time and he has an incredibly big appetite so anything will do. Kyo tries snatching an apple from the pile of fruits and vegetables, only for Corone to bop him in the head. Indicating that Kyo isn’t allowed to have any until he desperately needs it. Corone knew that Kyo would be starving, so he hands him a beef jerky he bought while for farms that sell fruits and vegetables. Kyo swipes the beef jerky from Corone‘s hands and runs off not too far from the trio. Corone shifts his gaze to Tauriel, who is passed out on the floor after hours of shielding both of his best friends. This gives the player a split second decision to either wake tauriel up or let him sleep in. They are not able to choose any because Tauriel was awoken by a old, dirty boot thrown at him by Kyo, whom has just tripped and fell on his face trying to show Corone a boot he found while he was devouring his beef jerky. Corone gets startled really bad and Tauriel sits up incredibly fast, covering his face in pain whilst Kyo lays there unresponsive. Corone stands up and starts yelling at Kyo for being so clumsy. Tauriel spends a few minutes getting back into reality and realises that he passed out. He takes a deep breath and stops the commotion. He then offers the two to continue with their journey to get back at the demons by confronting their leader, reminding them of the tragedy. They reluctantly agree and start moving again. While Kyo does not remember the entity at all, it still hasn’t disappeared from Tauriels mind. This bothers Tauriel very badly but he tries his best not to change the trajectory of the beginning to their journey by making it obvious that his mental health is actively declining due to the amount of shock and trauma he faced when trying to get away from the deformed entity. This makes Tauriel start overthinking incredibly hard throughout the run. This induces an extremely heavy fear of the dark and the mysterious within Tauriel, making him incredibly weak against demons and monsters who are uncanny and extremely scary in nature. Though his lively and upbeat personality does not change. Corone notices his somewhat frightened state. As it seems thats Tauriel has let his guard down already and has shown his terrified expression to his friends. Corone is concerned, too concerned. He goes up to Tauriel slowly and noticeably so he doesn’t terrify Tauriel even more. Corone comforts Tauriel, making sure that everything is going to be fine and that the longer the journey, the stronger they‘ll become; Eventually being able to defeat the lord of the flies. Tauriel thinks about this for a minute and calms down. He agrees with corone and this gives him motivation to be brave, as being a scaredy cat would mean that Kyo would have to fend off monsters all alone. They shake the dust off themselves and make their way through the woods. Their current goal is to find as many villages as they can to look for guides and clues on how to get to the top of the kingdom and what the flying entities are that turn beings into demons, hoping to maybe find the underground where the devil currently resides to seal him away for good. Kyo talks about how theres an elderly man in the woods somewhere within the dangerous parts of the lower kingdom that knows all about the supernatural, speculating that he might know something and that he is to point them in a set direction so they could continue on with their quest.
