/Flash!/
"... Huff... Huff..."
/Shua.../
/Cling... Clang.../
After being thrown across the white space and traversing the light, Dale found himself amidst an expansive field of stone and grass.
The wind rustled in his ears soothing his tiredness, the warm sunlight fell onto his skin rejuvenating his strained muscles, and the flapping of the birds calmed his mind...
As he lay down on the ground, he had the desire to never get up, as why should he?
"Huff..."
But that was the first thing he noticed about this place, and soon enough, he figured out that something seemed wrong about this field, severely so...
He couldn't quite remember how he got here, much less why he was here...n-.0Velb1n
But only a minute after, he forgot about that too.
/CAW!/
/CAW!/
Maybe because he stood too long lying down, crows began to cluster around him, flying up in the air.
/Walk.../
One of them approached him, tapping on the side of his head gently as if beckoning him...
That it was time to get up.
/GASP!/
/Stand up.../
Dale suddenly stood up, trying to figure out what he should do and where to begin, starting with his surroundings.
He hadn't noticed before, but he was surrounded by a field of weapons, some of which were being used by the birds to observe him, maybe waiting for him to die.
He looked back next to his hand, and the crow that woke him up was still there.
/CAW!/
And the moment their eyes met, it cawed, and quite a bit louder than the others before taking off into the distance.
Looking at where it went, Dale began to piece together what he knew, forming an idea of where he was.
He seemed to be at the foot of a gargantuan mountain range, in the middle of a battlefield, or better put, a graveyard full of ancient weapons, statues, broken pieces of armor, and half-broken skeletons of beasts he couldn't quite identify.
Likely all eaten by the crows.
Torn banners and other symbols cluttered the graveyard, but he couldn't identify any.
As for himself, he was standing atop a circular platform so worn out he couldn't identify anything on it anymore, it was just a platform with moss and grass growing in between the slaps of stone that composed it.
He was also wearing clothes now, some sort of traveling clothes consisting of a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of long pants that went down to his shoes, together with a half-torn cape.
"Huff... ?!"
"ARG!"
Suddenly, as he looked around, Dale's head flared in pain as his vision grew turbid, causing him to step back as he breathed deeply.
/CAW!/
/CAW!/
His memories started to flash, going in reverse, his breath grew erratic, and he felt as if ants were crawling under his skin as his ears rang with the sharp sound of bells and the Crows' calls.
His knees gave in and he fell onto the platform, his body seemingly growing extremely frail by the minute.
An indescribable thirst filled his throat as his mind grew empty, a desire to fill it back up...
To become whole again.
/Silence.../
Yet, just as suddenly, silence came, and with it, an idea, another desire, a single need, something greater than anything he had ever felt before.
/Grab.../
Following that need, Dale only looked around for a few seconds before he grabbed one of the ancient spears around him, strapping it to his back as he fetched a leather chest piece from the dirty ground.
/Shine.../
As he walked, he touched a giant sword from the ground, causing it to shine as it trembled slightly...
/Crack!/
"!"
/CLANG!/
All of a sudden, the assassin dashed forward, leaving behind a dark flash of light as he cut with his two blades forward, forcing Dale to block them with his sword.
The impact of the two blades left behind two trails of air that cut through the wheat, but that was only the beginning.
/PUSH!/
/SLASH!/
With his strength, Dale pushed the man back and slashed downward, cleaving through his body and ground, destroying the wheat fields...
/Smoke... SLASH!/
"!"
/CLANG!/
But as expected, the assassin wouldn't lose like this, it turned into smoke and slashed at him from a blind spot in his back.
However, Dale blocked the strike by tilting his sword and turning, causing his blades to graze against his shoulder.
/SHUA!/
Each of their strikes laid waste to the fields around them, no wonder the sun closed its eyes to it...
/SMACK!/
Ignoring the pain, he kicked the assassin back, causing him to slide across the fields.
/JUMP!/
/SLAM!/
/Light!/
"!!"
Dale jumped after him, his sword momentarily flashing with a chaotic red light...
And before the Assassin had the chance, his eyes bulging as he screamed beneath his mask, he slammed his sword on the ground, creating a massive crater seven meters wide.
/Thunder!/
Amidst the clouds, lightning bolts flared, creating the shadows of two warriors, an assassin with a single knife and a knight in heavy armor.
/BOOM!/
"..."
/Pull.../
With his opponent now dead, cut in half at the bottom of the hole, Dale climbed out before fetching his spear and continuing his journey...
/Rumble.../
Just before he went to grab his spear, the skies parted above and a beam of sunlight fell on his spear, causing much of its rust to fall.
That wasn't the end of it as his bow also began to change, with the strange wood it was made out of becoming more lustrous.
But it was still stringless, and thus, useless as a bow.
"..."
Seeing this, Dale only hesitated for a moment before he grabbed the spear, pulling it from the ground before strapping it around his back.
He did the same for the bow, making sure it wouldn't fall, no matter what.
/THUNDER!/
The skies trembled once more and he raised his head, and for a moment, he saw the outline of a knight throwing his spear forward toward the horizon before it all dissipated.
And the skies grew calm.
"..."
Imprinting this sight onto his mind, Dale went after the spear, into the distance, beyond the seemingly infinite golden fields...
Where another mountain stood.
