Welcome back to Silent Hill Sunday. Last time Cynder faced off against Terrador, but before he died, he warned her someone was coming. Now only one Guardian remains, one key to find before the mysteries start to unravel. Let's get into it.

We open on Cynder, still in terror, flying away from that strange Munitions Forge carnival place, and still carrying the engine of Steam recovered from Terrador's monstrous… alter-ego, which must be the third key. As she lands, she finds herself in a familiar place, the ever mysterious crossroads from earlier, with the Ice King's sword and Stone Sentinel's fist still in place.

Cynder: (Through gasping breaths) What did I just see?! What was that monster?! It couldn't have been what I saw. I must be going mad!

As Cynder throws her head up in frustration, we see the surrounding town of Silent Hill, now more in ruins than before, and growing worse. It seems as Cynder claims the keys, the tow dissolves a little bit more.

Now a dome of dark-violet light encompasses the Munitions Forge area, making Cynder's eyes turn the same shade.

Mysterious Voice: Darkness sought to control you… now it is yours to command.

And as the mysterious voice fades away, Cynder's eyes well up with tears.

Cynder: No, wait! Please don't leave me! Come back! (A few seconds of tears) MOTHER!

And as before, the mysterious voice fades. But this time, Cynder is left with tears and quandaries.

Cynder: Did I just call that voice "mother"? That's impossible. I never knew my mother, never heard her voice, never saw her face, and it's quite possible I killed her. But… that's the only person it could have been. Now I have to know.

And as Cynder dries her eyes, "Spyro" appear, not appearing as he did before, when he killed Terrador.

"Spyro": The Tectonic Key has been obtained. The third guard's life force has been drained.

Cynder: Spyro, enough with this!

And just as before, "Spyro" disappears.

Cynder: This is really starting to freak me out.

Echoing Voice: This is really starting to freak me out.

Upon hearing this, Cynder turns around and sees those strange wire creatures from before, still in some form of trance, but now repeating every word she says.

Cynder: Okay, this is spooky.

Wirelings: Okay, this is spooky.

Cynder: Stop that!

Wirelings: Stop that!

At that point, the wire creatures all let out an ear piercing shriek at once, attempting to subdue Cynder with sheer sound. But after a few moments, they give up, and as Cynder looks up, they've collapsed to the ground, seemingly deceased again.

Cynder: Okay, this is getting weird again. (Waits for them to repeat her) Okay, they've stopped doing that.

But then, the wire beasts' heads reanimate, at least enough to speak.

Wirelings: One final guard remains, one final key to claim. Seek it out to reveal the truth, and who is for our deaths to blame.

Cynder cannot even speak due to the sheer terror at this sight of a thousand corpses each speaking at once, as if joined by a hive mind.

Wirelings: A land of storms and living gems, within is the final guard found. Challenge him for the Molten Key, and then the truth will abound.

With that, the wire creatures fall back to their dead positions, and utter one last statement with their final breaths.

Wirelings: Thank you…

Cynder needn't even speak to reveal the sheer terror and confusion in her voice. But as she turns around, the last of the untraveled roads reveals itself, a dark storm cloud encroaches over the land as familiar black towers and crystal growths reveal themselves. The look in Cynder's eyes is enough to tell what is going on here, and where this place is.

Cynder: No…

As much as Cynder would like it not to be, it is. Her final destination is Concurrent Skies, her former lair. With terror on her face, and all throughout her being. She approaches this place of horror, knowing nothing of what lies ahead. But then, out of the corner of the screen, far from Cynder's peripheral vision, "Spyro" appears.

"Spyro": Soon the time will come for you to face me, Cynder. (Lets out a familiar raspy cackle) And then you will know true pain…

I think I will leave it there for this week. At long last, the voice is revealed, possibly. The closest equivalent Cynder could assign to this voice is her mother's. But is it really her? I'll never tell. Next time, the journey to Concurrent Skies begins. I will say it, this had to be my favorite location in the game. It looks amazing, despite the enemies being bland up until Cynder herself. But rest assured, the horror only amplifies. I feel confident in saying this is the setting of Cynder's darkest nightmares, the place where she executed her former master's commands, and sent untold numbers of innocents to their deaths. So how bad will this realm get? Tune in next week. Same time… same channel… same horror. If you dare…
