My needs brought me to the woods again, not far from the abandoned Scarlet Spires hall - I always make a point of stopping by and exchanging a few words with the faithful guards there. Shortly after parting from the two brave souls, I encountered a magic tree but, in the middle of the fight, I felt a strange force by me - one strong blast brought the tree down, and in turning around to see what power had the capacity of killing so fast, I saw again the Lady dressed in dark colours! This time she had more information for me... the man who had stolen the precious object wore a brown robe and was armed with a dagger - he had been spotted near my beloved city! The lady believes that our powers, combined, may overcome the thief and restore the object to its rightful owner, who has noble plans for its use.
The thought has dawned on me that I may just be drawn into some trap - I should not implicitly believe in what I am told. What do I know, after all, of this dark lady and her powers? Who assures me the power of the object will indeed be bent to the benefit of society at large?
All these questions and doubts have tormented my dreams - the forest I know so well has changed its mood and I keep looking behind my shoulders and scanning the horizon - the gentle lapping of the water against the beach has now turned into a sound of danger - I watch out for rafts, I watch out for shadows detaching themselves from trees... no rest during the day, no rest at night.. where will this lead? When will this end? My time is no longer my own - it belongs to this lady and it belongs to this object - their powers are bending my will... fight Fuoco, fight! You believe in the light - never lose sight of it!
