I faint. And smile at Twinblade.

"Hey, at least we did our best..." I encourage, quietly. And close my eyes to sleep.

The next day, I open my eyes. And look at where I am.

"Hovernyan," Avo speaks, "are you alright?"

"Yes. I am... where am I?" I reply in a quiet voice.

"You are in the Temple of Avo."

"Wait. The katana. The bow. When did it get here?"

"You will be upgraded. Soon. Now touch the holy water and find your true tranquility" Avo whispers as I walk and look at the water. I touch it and close my eyes.

At the water. I open my eyes. I look everywhere. I try to walk, to but I fall down. I hold my cape and see... blood.

But I see 4 crystals encountering me. One is pink, one is yellow, one is green and one is blue. I look at girls inside the crystals. It's Yuri, Suiren... and... the other two girls that I would recruit later. They smile at me as they shine brighter. I gain strength and open my eyes.

I move my head away from the water.

"I... I'm awake. I gained strength!" I breathe. Happily.

"Good. If you need help, come to the Temple of Avo. Right now, you may need to get some rest. About 7 days. Go into the water again. This time, lay your body on the water." Avo whispers. I close my eyes and lay myself on the holy water. Healing... with more power.

It's been 1 week after defeating Twinblade and finding Theresa. And I open my eyes and get out of the holy water.

"Hovernyan," Avo begins, "you have now gain more power to give you this. It's the most holy weapon of all. Behold, the Starlight Candle." And then, my hands starting to glow, making a shape of the spectre-like sword. And then, I touch the magic and look at the Starlight Candle.

"Wow..." I gasp. "The Starlight Candle."

"It contains hot-blooded power of a sun inside of it. This means that it contains everyone's feelings inside of it. The candle is a important weapon as if you are a hero of the night. And... when the Red Flame of Passion burns in your heart, give them your power."

"Ok. Thanks." I nod. Then I look at the sword. "But... I am a dark... hero."

"Ahh... still..." Avo confirms, "you are the dark hero that will bring light. Now go. Do whatever it takes to be a hero. A darklight hero."

"Darklight? Ok. I will."

"Good luck." Avo ends. I exit the temple and look at Witchwood.

An island that is thick, mist-filled evergreen forest, off the coast of Albion's main landmass. Witchwood is infested with Balverines, as well as the occasional bandit group and troll.

"Whoa..." I exhale as I look around.

"Welcome back Hovernyan." Whisper says, appearing before I see her. I turn around and look at her.
