In a dark, eerie forest clearing, the main character encounters Elara, the Mourning Maiden, cradling Alistair's skeletal remains.

Elara, the Mourning Witch of Woe: "Why do you come to this sacred place, where sorrow echoes through the ages? Alistair, my love, protect us from intruders!"

Alistair's skeletal body stands up and reanimates to his prime.
