Everyone gets on the platform, and it slowly begins to rise. Its a long way up, so you decide it is a good time to ask Verton some questions
: Okay, Verton. Question one: How did you get here?
: I... I'm not sure...
:
hhe is soooo asleep. hhe wwont wwake up until hhe faces hhis fears: Oh...
: Yes. I was grabbed by this creepy man a few minutes ago and he dragged me up and out of this dark chasm. The surface is quite beautiful. It reminds me of home, but I know for sure it isn't home.
: What makes you so sure?
: Last time I checked, Leoen did not have a huge, angular tower covered in spider webs. I mean, sure, it had a tower. Most major cities do, but I've never seen one like this before.
: So... who are you exactly?
: Im Gregory Verton I'm an Alchemy Archeologist. I study Ancient Alchemical Civilizations, history, and machines. You saved my life as a child, Menen.
: If you ARE Menen, that is. You are similar to him, but he was taller and had more hair.
: I'm not the same Menen... I mean... Well I am, but not really. It's complicated. I don't understand it yet.
: If I may, I would like to ask you a question.
: Sure, what is it?
: Why am I here. Right now. With you.
: Im... not sure... Tingles?
:
hhe hhas to fight hhis fear: Right. Currently you are under the control of Uviso. He is using his fears to make you his puppet.
: Uviso?
: Yeah. The guy who is controlling you? One of the Shadow Lords?
: What.
: What?
: You said Shadow Lords. I... am I working for them...?
: Well... kinda. You are currently being controlled against your will.
Dr. Verton grows silent. He does not speak, He does not move. He just stares at the his feet. The look on his face is that of pure horror. He stays like this for a few minutes, then looks up with anger in his eyes.
: You MUST help me. I cannot even begin to express the hatred and rage that currently flows through my veins. Those horrible men, women and beasts destroyed my home, my childhood, and now they seek to destroy my mind.
: I am going to help you. That's why I'm here now.
: Good.
Verton turns around and looks up at the lights. You and Tingles join him in the light staring session.
