"The safeguard of the secret bridge. The rest is missing; beware Atshen."
Oh boy. Well, I guess, "shaman" could be Walter? He's called the "Conjuror," I guess that could be sort of similar?
Except, this was given to Henry, and it says "Beware Atshen." Not that making friends with some kind of cannibal spirit would be great, but I don't think we'd so much be making enemies of it either if it's keen on eating Walter...
I think it is referring to Walter...I mean, look at it- a cannibalistic monster. And Walter does 'run' off of the first ten hearts. Or maybe I'm making too much of the 'shaman and his wife', I don't know.
I don't know about the 'shaman and his wife' part being a total parallel. This was given to Henry a year ago in another world; it'd be really really weird if the exact circumstances were foreseen like that. I can see how it could be referring to Walter, though, instead of some demon, you mean...?
Right...yeah, it is reading too much into it- Alessa (or whoever put those keys together) couldn't have known, then. But yeah, I think the atshen might be referring to Walter. It would make sense to beware of Walter, right? Although...I still don't know what 'the rest is missing' might mean.
"The rest is missing," also, "It's incomplete." I think it's talking about the key. I mean, just being a bunch of letters like this can't do anything on its own, and saying it out loud can't do anything on its own, otherwise we would've opened 20,000 weird bridges by now. We were talking about, given how it was given to us, all run-together like that, maybe it needs to go in a circle? Maybe the "rest that's missing" is the place where we need to put it.
That would make sense- what's missing is the shape and place it's written? Like you said, if we had it all already, we would've opened a ton of portals by now. I really think we're onto something with the circle- I guess something else would work, but that's the only shape that makes any sense to me.
Back when Henry told us about the entire situation, someone mentioned that whatever forces are in Silent Hill, they aren't very happy with Walter lately... Mostly because he uses the ritual's power for his own purposes as opposed to using it to expand the town's power.
Can it be that Atshen is Walter, and the bridge is secret because it's hidden from him? Could the powers of Silent Hill leave a secret path to Walter somewhere, so someone could walk in and destroy him when his actions stop being beneficial to whatever deity he works for?
And is there a place somewhere in Silent Hill that would be good for hiding such a path?
Yeah, that's true. Cheryl and Lisa both said that, he'd gone too far from the teachings.
If we're, or Henry is, supposed to be the shaman and Walter is Atshen, there is an island in Silent Hill. Out in the middle of a lake that's sacred to the Order, called Lake Toluca.
I see. And if the lake is sacred to the Order, that could mean that the island is sacred as well. After all, what better place is there for particularly sensitive rituals than an area located in the middle of a sacred place? Especially if the area is isolated enough to keep people from bothering the ritual.

It's just a theory, but it's worth checking out.

I think we should get ready to go now. Henry?
