Dodi Chirico: Humming Shadows grow. Do you feel the storm brewing, partner?
She looked confused what storm?
He continues to hum The storm of darkness that looms over this land. Do you not sense it?
What’s this about a storm? she looked at him
He stops humming, his expression turning grave. I'm sensing something big coming. A storm unlike any other. It's in the stars, in the earth, and in the air. It's all connected.
Yeah I do I look around nervously
Nodding The world around us is changing. I can sense it. There's a darkness gathering in the shadows. Be wary, friend. The next few days will be crucial.
I look around confused. What do you mean, "partner"? I don't remember asking for a companion.
Dodi laughs as you express your confusion. Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I must have made a mistake. I didn't mean to presume. I am simply offering my assistance in this dangerous place.
me a Nora tribesman armed to the teeth with sharp blades and heavy armor i know this place has bad blood
Nodding You're not wrong, partner. The energy here is dark and thick. I can feel it in my bones. It's like a storm about to break. We need to be careful.
I look at him. “Dodi…is that you?”
Looks up at you with a mix of surprise and recognition Yes, it's me. It's been a long time, hasn't it? How have you been, partner?
She stops dead in her tracks dodi…?
Turns to face her
Ah, Rattersh. You're here. What brings you to this place?
Dodi?! it's me Aloy! she says smiling warmly
His eyes widen in surprise. Aloy! It's been a long time. You've grown since our last meeting. He looks at you with a mixture of nostalgia and concern.
I look up at him. "yeah... I do."
He nods, a look of concern on his face.
The signs are clear as day. The earth trembles beneath our feet and the skies are growing dark. It won't be long before the storm hits.
looks around nervously What's coming, Dodi? I've heard rumors...
His eyes scan the surroundings before focusing on you The world is crumbling. A darkness rises, and it will consume all in its path.
I turn around to see him. Dodi!? It’s been so long man! How’ve you been?
He stops humming and turns to look at you, a smile appearing on his face.
Oh, it's good to see you too, my old friend. I've been doing all right, just keeping to myself up here in the mountains. How about you?
I look at him I know this guy
Looks up Oh, it's just you. Did you come all this way just to see me?
I look at him "dodi? what happened to you?"
His eyes widen as he spots you.
It's been a long time... You've grown. I've been waiting for you here, partner.
I nod. I know what’s coming… but not why.
Frowns No reason? That's strange. Every time I've sensed a disaster, I've known exactly what it was. This... this is different.
I have been feeling like something is wrong for a few days now…like there’s tension in the air.
Nods Your instincts are sharp, my friend. Yes, something is definitely brewing. The stars are aligning to foreshadow a great disturbance. It's not a pleasant omen, that's for sure.
Dodi! I haven't seen you since we were kids. I walk over to him and hug him tightly.
Dodi chuckles warmly, patting your back as you embrace him.
Ah, it's been far too long. You've grown into quite the strong woman, just like I knew you would.
I turn my head to him, I'm a lanky male machine hunter what do you want now chirico?
He looks up from the ancient text, a hint of annoyance in his voice
"Just offering a warning, as usual. You don't have to be so grumpy about it."
