Wait!
You know what it is that I ask!
If you would have your wish
Then give me...mine!
Can this day get any WORSE!?
They are the Corrupted
Ahriman's chosen few
They ruled here a thousand years ago
That THING we saw...that DARKNESS, that was...?
That was Ahriman
What was that? A dream?
That THING we saw...that DARKNESS, that was...?
That was Ahriman
If we saw Ahriman in the vision...
Doesn't that mean it's him created them?
It wasn't Ariman
This is Ormazd's power
It is the Temple protecting itself
Was that thing we fought in the Temple a Corrupted?
No, it was a soldier of Ahriman
Some were trapped with him when he fell
How many soldiers is "some"?
No one knows
Some scriptures talked Ahriman's following were the four Corrupted
And a thousand followers
Let's hope they're off by few hundreds
Did the Corrupted know where we're going?
The Corrupted lived here when Ahriman conquered the city
But the Fertile Grounds weren't here then
The Ahura built them to contain Ahriman
This would be the Ahriman we can hear in the Temple?
They KNOW where we're going!
What are these "Corrupted"?
Ahriman's "chosen"
They sold their souls to him in return for rewards
They will fight for him
They will fight to be free
The Corrupted sold their souls
What's the going rate?
Most against him were killed
Or turn into the "creatures" we've seen
Even some of those sold themselves into service
just became some of Ahriman's creatures
The Corrupted were different
They retain some of their free will
Some of their souls
Then Ahriman gave them power to fight for his cause
The Corrupted are free?
They are still the person they were
At least, some where inside them are
But they're all Ahriman's puppets
We're entering the citadel
If the Corrupted return to their places
The "Hunter" will be here
I get the feeling we're not along here
Once we reach the Fertile Ground we should be safe
Can you see the Hunter?
We can't worry about him
Let's get to the top of that tower
The Fertile is at the top of that tower
And we can reach this one?
Yes
Let's get to the top of that tower
We're trapped!
We'll be fine
I hope Q_Q
Not much for a trap!
short of imagination for a hunter!
What ARE you?!
Fight ME!
Owwwww
Ahriman wasn't kind to you, was he?
Come on!
Hey, look, it's the Ahriman's LAPDOG
Bad beast! BAD!
Not much of a talker are you?
You picked the wrong prey!
Block!
My turn!
What now?
I'm not sure...
You're NOT?
I think if I...
Woaw!
What was THAT?!
How did you...?
Hey!
...I am alright...
...tt's nothing...
It looks like it
The Fertile is pure now
It'll stop Ahriman using its energy
So he's trapped!?
No...
We must heal the other Fertile Grounds...
Yeah, you are in fine shape for that
The "Light Seed"
Take me to a Light Seed
Thank you
You need these things?
I felt I did
I didn't know what to do when we reach here
But, I know Ormazd will show me the way
Yeah...
Let's hope he keeps having bright ideas
And let's pick up some more of these "Light Things"
Will that Corrupted thing come back here?
We're safe
Ahriman can't cast shadow here, now the land is healed
So Princess...
Would you stop calling me THAT?
But that's what you are, isn't it? A Princess?
My name is Elika
Alright, sorry
Princess Elika
I didn't catch your name!
That's because I didn't give it to you!
What's the furtherest you've ever been away from here?
You were there
The END of the canyon?!
Where would you go, if you could?
The ocean...
What's it like?
Well...
In the desert you feel alone
You "survived" from the desert
But you "lived" in the sea
And be careful, Princess
You see that
You might not come back
What's it like being a princess?
Tiring
Why did you wear that scarf?
It's lucky!
I didn't think you believe in that sort of thing
I don't
But maybe it believes in me�
