Arlo stumbled deeper into the cave with the instructions of the cloaked corpse.
"Go find the lord, vengeful soul…" he started to crawl due to the cave becoming tighter.
"İ await your arrival, vengeful soul…" A deep voice startled the whole cave and made some debris powder fall on Arlo.
Arlo continued for a while and crawled into a small, lush cave with a shrine in the middle of it.
A colossal figure seemed to be acting as the cave's support, it prevented the collapsing of the cave.
Arlo examined the figure, at least three meters long, two arms, seven fingers on each hand, a head that had a singular horn, finally the figure seemed to be a skeleton with skin!(it was so skinny)
İt's voice echoed in the small cave.
"Tell me; why are you not dead?" İt asked.
Arlo tried to answer it "Aghldis." was his answer.
But the giant seemed to understand. "İ also had that emotion once…"
"Uncontrollable rage, you don't feel it right now. Because of Derios's magic." it hurled.
"Once it is over the poisonous thoughts will invade your mind in that brittle state…"
"You want revenge don't you?" That was the first time its voice sounded Alive…
"Hyeags!" Arlo could talk only that much.
"Good…" İt extended one arm to offer something to Arlo. "Consume this… This is my blood…" The blue crystal in the weird figures hand shined like it was trying to persuade Arlo.
"This will give you the power to start your journey…" Its mouth extended like it did not have a jaw.
"When you are powerful enough… Remember my name…" its smile could shatter a mirror to pieces.

"Your flesh bothers you…" İts small eyes seemed like a bottomless void with a muddy yellow glow in them.
The lord of the dead whispered something and blue flames overwhelmed Arlo.
His flesh melted away leaving his bare bones visible.
"Now… Won't you take my offering?"
Arlos white fingers reached for the gem and put it into his mouth.
His jaw shattered the gem and a bluish glow tangled his body; Then disappeared.
The lord laughed with great enjoyment. "Now go! both of us know what you really desire…"
The gruesome voice of the gigant echoed in the now empty skull of Arlo while he left the cave.
