[There's a view of the Empyreal Paradox area before the crystal is set down. Kain then jabs his spear into the ground, forcefully, picking it up with his other hand. Something about this place in particular sets him on edge, but he can't explain why. For now though, he actually has a purpose to this transmission. Something else has been bothering

A dragon....?

[She frowns in thought.]

I don't think I've seen one yet. But...where are you?

[Filtered]

[bound_skyward]

...this place...

[He shows it off a little, then returns to looking at the crystal. He's trying to hide his feelings of dread.]

Perhaps the dragon found a means to escape...

[Filtered]

[heavenslament]

Maybe it did...or was sent back.

[She watches him closely.]

...what is it, Kain? Do you remember something else?

[Filtered]

[bound_skyward]

...Maybe. He was... a companion.

[Sighs and looks down.]

No direct memories, but... a feeling. Something happened to me here.

[Filtered]

[heavenslament]

Like what happened to me at the Sky Fortress?

...I'll look for it.

[Filtered]

[bound_skyward]

...Like that. Yes.

And if you insist... I'll be here for a while.

[Filtered]

[heavenslament]

I'll find it soon.

[Somehow. If she has to search the entire realm.]

Take your time.

[He has brooding to do in the meantime.]

[heavenslament]

[Terra eventually makes it there, and she peers around in fascination. It's a strange battlefield, even compared to some that she's already seen.]

Kain...?

[bound_skyward]

[Kain is standing off alone, away from that central area. He's not doing much, just... staring. The sense of foreboding is heavy upon him.]

[heavenslament]

[Terra walks over and rests a hand on his arm, staring up worriedly.]

[bound_skyward]

[Kain stares in silence for a long time, then glances at her, as if only just realizing she's there.]

I'm sorry...

[heavenslament]

[Luckily, Terra's patient.]

It's alright. I didn't want to interrupt you, if you were remembering something...?

[bound_skyward]

...no... Nothing certain, at any rate. Terra, this place gives me a horrible feeling. It reminds me...

[Reminds him of the times he's died, but he isn't sure he wants to say it.]

[heavenslament]

...of what?

[Her voice is soft, only gently urging. If he wants to share, he will. But she doesn't want to push too much. Some things are hard to talk about, she knows.]

[bound_skyward]

...the place is overwhelmed with the feeling of death.

[Can you not feel it? Or... maybe it's just him. :|]
