After saying goodbye to Eva, Wain headed into the woods behind the main base and found Forgotten. He was sitting huddled against a tree, pondering something.
"Good to see you." Forgotten said, looking at Wain.
"Me too. I need your help."
"Of course." Forgotten nodded and stood up, "What is required of me?"
"I want to upgrade my Void rank, all the conditions have already been met, but I'm worried that we can't do it without you."
"I see. You will be attacked by a Second Chronicle Void and possibly one rank higher than yours. I will help you, but my goal will be to guard the portal from the invaders, not to capture the enemy Void. I can't defeat several thousand Second Chronicle creatures without serious injury, and I don't need to, so I'll stay put."
"No problem, I don't need more than that." Wain uttered, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly.
They entered a dimensional passage and found themselves in an ice cave.
