Pandora had woken up as she walked to Kratos.

Pandora: Hey, do you think we could take a walk?

Kratos: A walk?

Pandora: Yeah. You know, I'd like to visit the town nearby.

Kratos: *nods* Alright.

They walk out and after some time they were now in the forest, walking towards the town.

*Time skip*

They were now in a town as Pandora looked around amazed.

She was very friendly while they were in town as she greeted the players there, and they greeted back in a friendly manner. They even ate at a restaurant and enjoyed their time together.

After some time, the two of them were walking through town, back to their home.

Pandora: *smiles* I like this town. Everyone around is very friendly. It makes me feel hopeful.

Kratos: Hmm. Hope is for the weak, Pandora.

Pandora narrowed her eyes at him before holding his arm.

Pandora: Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we're here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.

They passed through the gate before they see a man mumbling about how everyone was going to die under a tree.

Kratos; This is what hope delivers, child. You should learn that by now.

He kept walking forward as Pandora looked at the man for a bit before catching up to Kratos.

*Time skip*

They passed through a river, around a lake, on snowy hills.

After some time the sun was setting as Kratos called Pandora.

Kratos: We should hurry, it's getting late.

But Pandora didn't answer as she looked around.

Kratos: Pandora?

Pandora: Do you hear it?

Kratos: Hear what?

Pandora: It's calling me...

She then started running deeper into the woods.

Kratos: Pandora!

He then followed her.

After some time, night took over the sky and the moon was hidden behind the clouds, and Pandora stopped and Kratos grabbed her shoulders.

Kratos: What are you doing?!

Pandora: I-I don't know. I just had a sudden urge to come here.

Kratos then looked around and saw they were on a frozen lake and saw a black pedestal in front of them.

Kratos: I have never seen this area.

Suddenly, he felt danger and turned around as he saw a blade towards them as he got in front of Pandora and blocked the attack with the Golden Fleece before diverting it to the side.

Kratos: Hide behind that pedestal!

Pandora: But-!

Kratos: Go now!

Pandora looked hesitant, but finally ran behind the pedestal as Kratos drew his blades. After a few moments the clouds dispersed as the moonlight illuminated the area and Kratos saw his attacker.
