While heading into a dark burned area, I heard gunshots and found a dying vigil among corpses and flames. He revealed a tragic past connected to my character and gave me the Keystone of Grief before dying.
He asked me to find a journalist named Agatha using the password Pentos near the old windmill.
When I was running towards the dark side, I suddenly heard gunshots. So, I imagined there would be real people around. After moving ahead, I noticed a dying old man, besides some dead bodies and flames.
I went to talk to him, and a cinematic part started there, where the unknown man thought I was his enemy and went to finish him off. But later he saw the necklace my character was wearing and understood he was actually the son of that old man, who was a vigil sworn to protect Hadea.
The old man gave my character an investigation item, which is a keystone of grief. It's an ancient sculpture depicting a crying eye. It is carved from a strange material obtained from Vitalis in Vyssa hills.
The old man asked my character to promise him he would stop the calamity, and suddenly my character heard a distant noise, and noticed a mother was holding his son, when both of them were burned to ashes.
The old man asked my character to find a journalist named Agatha and use the password, Pentos, when he does. And he mentioned he saw them escape into the rocky ridges to the southwest, towards the old windmill.
My character asked the old man if his mother is Agatha, but the old man replied his mother is dead. And the old man died after that as well.
My character then came out of that observation to where he was in reality. The questioner mentioned the military officially diagnosed my character as being a high-functioning sociopath who barely feels anything.
After a few more chats, the questioner asked my character where he went from there.
We'll continue in another post.
