Ch. 1 "They say a crimson moon is a warning to those who tempt fate...
...or at least, that's what my grandparents always told me." Sylva said, as she, Gauld, and Sid enter the crypt of ancient ruler of a long forgotten civilization. "You realize that saying something like, knowing very well that we do isn't..." "Cool it Sid, she hasn't been in the...'excavating' business as long we have." No matter what they called it, they knew what they were. "Listen Gauld, I know very well what it is you do, and I'm still by your side, aren't I? I don't care what it is you do, as long as you-" "We're here..." Sid interrupted as they approached one of many chambers.

--- After what seemed like hours had passed ---

"We're so close...I can feel it!" "S...s...slow dooown! We don't know what's-" "Quiet Sylva! We have a knack for this sorta thing, if he says he feels it, then we MUST be close!" She looked back at Sid with a stern look, finally ready to stand up to him, when he said one last thing before everything fell apart. "You know, he didn't want you come in the first place, what with you being a burden to us BOTH ever since we've met." With that said, she came to a complete stop, nearly tripping in the process, and did her best to hold her tears. It's true, I have been a burden, ever since the first time I joined them, I've held them back. I...I knew Gauld was always dissapointed in the fact that ever since I came into his life, I've ruined every expedition we've been on...Sid's right. Gauld looked back to see that Sylva had come to complete stop, on the ground, as if she were in pain. He attempted to stop himself and go back for her, "Sylva!" But Sid, more frustrated than ever, forced him into the chamber. Somehow, they triggered something nearby, and the chamber doors were sealed, leaving Sylva to herself, alone in the abandoned corridor.

That's right, he DOES care, he'd never say anything like that. He... As she slowly began to compose herself, her newfound hope soon turned to rage. SID! If anything's happened to Gauld I swear I'll- She quickly sprung to her feet and tried her best to reopen the door. After several tries, the door seemed to open itself, and to her horror... "Hmhmhmhm...finally, all these years of searching, I've found it, the Ambrosia's Crest! No thanks to that sap Gauld or that dead weight Sylva. Now I can-" He was interrupted by an ear piercing shriek. "What have you have done you heartless bastard! Why'd you do this, where's Gauld!?" "Terribly sorry about what had happened to him," Sid said grinning mailicously, "after we got in here, we had a little disagreement about leaving you behind. Needless to say I didn't wanna lose this argument. Hmhmhmhm..." As her eyes scanned the room she saw Gauld, or what was left of him, near the coffin of the ruler of this pyramid. "...Turns out this is no mere tomb or crypt, this is merely one of many pyramids that Ambrosia, the ruler of this vast land, had control. Pity, soon you two will share the same fate." "What are you..." "You and Gauld and shall soon be reunited in Hell!"

---After the battle---

What have I done...I let Gauld down...I killed Sid. This isn't who I am, I'm no mere graverobber, I...No, I'm not who I was anymore...nothing can change this...except...

As she lie there, with her final breath, she utters one final wish, to whom she was about to defile.

"Please...forgive us, it was the only way we...could..." And with that, she stopped, with Ambrosia's Crest still in grasp, attempting to put it in it's rightful place.

--- Outside the pyramid ---

We see a single person, several miles away from the pyramid, their eyes focused on it, as if they're trying remembering something. It is a woman, but not with the eyes of a troubled, yet hopeful soul, soothed only by a single person...but the cold eyes of an ancient ruler, preparing to venture out into an unfamiliar world...
