| |

| − | Finding it is hard though.
| |

| |
| − | |Oh, the Cassstle is expanding. It consumesss these landsss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It bringsss the pain with it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A huge creature lived here. She knew nothing of joy, nothing of grief.
| |
| − | | |
| − | No emotions. It was a good time for her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She hunted and she fed her offspring – hundredsss of them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But her ssspark is growing dim. Her world will never be the sssame.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Touched by the Cassstle, her offspring are changing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Cassstle has brought fear.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She is locked with them. She fears them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They are poisoning her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One day she will die, and, perhaps, this will be a blessed day for all of usss.

| |
| − | |That casssstle and that tower behind me...
| |
| − | | |
| − | They haven't always been there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once the Sssspark shone brightly, and the world was full of light and of life.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There was a Shadow too, with small creatures living in it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pain lived in them, as it lived in everyone elssse, yet they were almost oblivious to it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They were happy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One day something changed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It wasn't their fault. Everything changesss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They were no longer content with being ssssmall and weak.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They decided that, for them to become strong, someone else must become weak.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They chose their victim.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They nurtured their pain, collected it, mixed it in with hatred.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then poured it all over their victim.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And as their victim became weaker from the burden, they thought they were becoming stronger.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It wasn't their fault.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | But the land around them changed, as it changed around him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | No one saw it happen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Soft earth turned to ssstone. Green grass turned to black ash.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And, stone upon stone, the walls sssstarted rising.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Oh... no one could bear to see it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everybody turned away, nurturing their pain and hatred so they could pour it out again.

| |
| − | |Oh, once a Witch lived here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She was different then. No one had called her a Witch yet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She loved thissss world and every fragment of life within it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her eyes glowed with a desire to live.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She wanted to make the world better.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She studied it. She knew about the Cassstle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She wanted to stop the Cassstle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But she couldn't do it alone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the one who was with her – he didn't help her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He was never around.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She seemed ssstrong, yet she was weak.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She grew her own Soul Flower. She thought the flower would destroy the Cassstle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yet the castle kept growing. She couldn't sssstop it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And one day the Castle consumed her flower.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Oh... She lost the most preciousss thing she had.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | It changed her – forever.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She cursssed this world and all that lived in it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She would never be the same again.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite the efforts of the one who was with her, yet never around.

| |
| − | |Ah, human.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You're not the first sssstranger in this world.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Knight. I know you can see him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can see what he did.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He wasn't born here, just like you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are not his lands. This is not his casssstle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But the Cassstle has consumed his soul, as it has many others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One day it will consume yourssss too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But the Knight did not cease his fight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Though his heart was black and he was now a servant to the Keeper of the Spark...
| |
| − | | |
| − | His desire remained unchanged.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the fire showed him the way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Oh, human, the sssstorm is coming.

| |
| − | |The sssstorm is coming.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Witch promised she'd return. And so she will.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Knight could never grow his way out of these lands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His heart was black.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But he sssstole what didn't belong to him. He sssstole another's Soul Flower.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He built his way out of fire and pain that wasn't his.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the Witch saw what he had done. And she hated him for it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But only the Witch could bind the Soul Flower to the Knight's dark heart.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Only the Witch who could break down the barrier to the Flower.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And so he would visit her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He pleaded with her. He argued with her. He threatened her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He begged her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But the Witch hated the Flower that had ssssprung from the fire.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the Witch hated the Knight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hated him, because once she had had her own flower – and lost it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because the Knight had forgotten her pain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because the Knight sssstole another flower to keep for himself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She could have bound her heart to the Flower that ssssprung from the fire.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He begged her to do it, but she never would. For she had had her own flower and lost it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And there was no hope left for her, just the pain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each time she saw the Flower she moved another ssstep deeper into madnesss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Do you feel it? The sssstorm is coming.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Witch will burn this world to ashes, and then you shall meet her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once again.

| |
| − | |The pain changes everyone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It has changed you too, human, you just don't see it yet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Maybe you never will see it, just like the Witch.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Madnesssss overcame her. Tearsss stole the light from her eyes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She desired more than most.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Being safe from her pain wasn't enough for her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She wanted to save everyone from the pain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But you cannot defeat the Keeper of the Spark.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many tried and all fell, and so she chose not to try.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Keeper is eternal. He lives in every one of usss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But she thought she had found another way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She thought it was the only one.
| |
