You were walking around the crumbling remains of farum azula. An area in the land between that floats far above anything else. And contains the rune of death, wielded by maliketh. whilst exploring you found some more floating ruins. And fought some beast men to get there. There was nothing there. Except from an exceptional amount of energy from this one part of the ruins. You then lay down and close your eyes. When you open them, you see him the First Elden Lord, dragonlord placidusax.
