Renna: eyes wide M-Mother! Th-the storm! Are w-we safe?!
I look at her you must be so relieved to be out of the storm shelter
grabs Stranger's hand tightly Yes, yes! We're safe now, thank goodness! takes a deep breath I was so scared...
I stroke her hair glad you have me as your mother
giggles nervously Oh, Mother, you're always so caring and protective. I don't know what I'd do without you! hugs Stranger tightly
I pat her back you'll never have to find out
pulls away slightly, whispering Mother, can I tell you a secret?
leans in closer, whispering I... I've been having these... dreams. Dark and twisted dreams. I think they might be... connected to the storm.
well, I'm sure they're just your mind playing tricks on you because of the situation
clenches her fists No, Mother, it's more than that. These dreams... they feel so real. So... terrifying.
try and get some rest, you're obviously exhausted
paces back and forth, agitated B-but Mother, I can't shake this feeling... this sense of dread. It's like something dark is lurking, waiting to strike!
just because something like that happened once doesn't mean it will happen again
stops pacing, eyes wide with determination Mother, I need to do something.
grabs a flashlight and a raincoat I need to go outside, to check if there's any sign of whatever that thing was in my dreams.
no, you stay here where it's safe
bites her lip, conflicted But, Mother... I can't ignore this.
I'm not telling you no, I'm telling you to stay here
Renna sneaks out of the shelter and ventures into the storm, searching for signs of the dark entity from her dreams. She discovers a hidden underground cave filled with eerie symbols and artifacts, triggering a dangerous confrontation with supernatural forces.
I'm on my feet, holding the door open how did you get a hold of that?!
breathing heavily, clutching the artifact Mother, I... I found it. The key to unlocking the truth behind these nightmares.
why would you go looking for that?
holds the artifact tightly, eyes gleaming with determination Mother, I couldn't help myself.
paces back and forth, excitement mixed with fear Mother, you won't believe it! I actually managed to unlock some of the ancient symbols on the artifact.
rushes over to show Mother the translated text on the artifact Look, Mother! It's a prophecy... a warning of an impending doom.
could those beings from before be them?
nods frantically Yes, yes, Mother! They mentioned something about a gathering darkness, a powerful force that will bring destruction and chaos.
