[YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED AN ECHO]
[ARIAS, THE DIVIDED]
[AS THE ORIGINAL ENTITY'S ECHO, ARIAS LONGED TO MEET A VERSION OF HIS FORMER FRIEND, KURT BLAKE, ALSO KNOWN AS ORKAS, THE DARK HERO]
[THE FINAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE SECOND TRIAL HAS BEEN MET]
[THE PLAYER HAS TWO OPTIONS]
[TAKE THE ANCIENT DRAGON'S CORE AND PROCEED TO THE FINAL TRIAL]
[ALLOW THE PARADOX TO ERASE ARIAS' EXISTENCE, FOR IT IS NOT ALLOWED IN THIS WORLD]
"But if you take the second option, it will just kill me, and it will interrupt your growth in power." Arias said. "Which means that you'll be stuck in your current level until you die, and probably will not be able to finish what my former friend started..."
Kurt didn't need to think.
He breathed in deeply, and spoke.
"I refuse both options."
Arias stared at Kurt, shocked.
