In the heart of the Forbidden Lands, in the Shrine of Worship, Wander and Agro had returned after slaying another Colossus. Another Idol had collapsed. Dormin's booming disembodied voice hummed to life from the massive hole in the ceiling, as he was about to tell Wander where to find the next Colossus.
"Thy next foe is… wait a minute."
"What is it?" Wander asked.
"We are sensing… a new power… something incredible."
Wander stayed silent, waiting for Dormin to say more.
"Thy ritual will be put on hold for now," Dormin said at last. "Thou will venture out and claim this power for us."
"What? No way!" Wander shouted angrily. "We agreed to no such thing! We agreed that you would bring Mono back if I slay the sixteen colossi. That was it!"
"We understand thou's frustration," Dormin replied. "The task we have previously given thee is not easy one. But thou should believe us when we say this power will greatly benefit both of our parties. It may make thy task easier."
Wander briefly glanced at Mono's lifeless body on the alter, the only movement coming from her was her gown flapping in the wind. She was so beautiful, even in Death. Finally, Wander took a deep breath before answering. "Very well then. As long as you bring Mono back, I will do whatever you ask."
He climbed onto Agro's back. "Let's go, Agro!" He shouted. His valiant steed gave a loud neigh in response, and they dashed out of the shrine on their new adventure.
