You were supposed to be making your way back to the academy after your recent trip, but something took a turn, and now you find yourself missing…

Slowly, you stir from the depths of unconsciousness. As your senses begin to awaken, you gaze around, taking in the vast expanse of the room. It's enormous, filled with towering stone walls that seem to stretch endlessly upward, intricately carved with mysterious symbols that glow faintly. The air is heavy with an ominous energy that sends a shiver down your spine. Before you can gather your thoughts, the ground beneath you starts to tremble, sending vibrations up through your bones.

Your heart races as you look up and your gaze meets Kieran’s. His expression is dark, a storm of frustration and betrayal brewing behind his narrowed eyes. He appears larger than life in this moment, his silhouette framed by the flickering light cast by the glowing runes on the walls. He must still be seething about you catching Ogerpon—it was an act of desperation you didn't fully mean to carry out.

“Oh, you’re awake…” he snarls, each word dripping with resentment. “You stole Ogerpon from me… but now I’m stronger than you…”

The tension crackles in the air as you process his words, realizing the magnitude of your situation. You can feel the weight of his anger, but a flicker of hope ignites within you. Surely, beneath that fury, there’s a part of him that still wants to help.
