Clang perfect parry shnk and a stab in the gut
as the soul of cinder falls and slowly fades away I finally retrieve his soul after many battles, finally its over, I begin making my way towards the bonfire but before I reach it I stop to admire its graceful flames dance in the wind even though ive seen bonfires countless times before I just wanted to see its beauty one last time before its over.
as I summon the firekeeper to end the age of fire, I cant help but to think about all the people I met, the joyous warrior of the sun solaire, the jolly knight of catarina, friendly greirat the thief, and many a more, I wonder if our paths might cross again once more. *sigh* well its over now.

??? years later
as I sit there motionless, I gaze upon my surroundings complete and utter darkness, wondering how long I had been there
As I try to call out to the firekeeper I just let out a wheeze, I wasn't to shocked when I couldn't speak 'heh when had I last even spoke' as I try to recall upon my past, a dim lightappeared out of nowhere, i was amazed as its been to long since i have seen something other than darkness, , then I remember the last words said to me by the fire keeper, 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵. i thought 'is this it the age of fire coming back?'.
The dim light then turned into a big mirror, as I look through the mirror I see a knight with what seemed to be a Valkyrie helmet with red hair flowing out of it, they wore a brown filly dress with a red cape dropping down behind their knees, in front of them was a giant beast that had stars and a giant golden vein on the inside of it, as the beast swung the sword down towards the figure they swiftly dodge to the side and ran towards the beast, they raised their weapon in front of them and stabbed a crack the beast had on its stomach. the beast raised its sword as it started to glow gold it then swung down creating an explosion, the figure seemed to know what was happening and rolled away, they than ran towards the beast but it swiftly sunk into the water anddisappeared from view the figure began looking around, then it appeared a ways from the figure it then summoned a ball of light that began going towards the figure, as the ball of light approached tons of small lights began coming off of it and began coming in towards the figure, they began running towards the right and heading towards the beast with the orb of light still chasing, with hundreds of tiny lights coming off of it, then the lights caught up and began hitting the figure who didn't seem to bothered and as the big orb was gonna hit they rolled through it running the other way than started heading towards the beast as the orb dissipated the beast started swinging its sword side to side as blades of light shot towards the figure they simply rolled through each of them, they began running towards the beast and dodged a punch that was glowing with light giving them enough time to hit the beast thrice the last hit finished the beast as it stood up and fell to the side slowly disappearing then the beast exploded into nothing more but gold dust that swiftly made its way toward the figure, and everything turned black.
they were then on a platform with fog as far as the eye can see, they began walking towards a broken doll in the middle before stopping before it, they then grabbed something off the ground after looking closer it was a head, they placed the head on the doll and it stayed in place until they took a step back as light began coming from the doll, the light went towards the figure it continued until three gold interlocking rings formed on the doll, than the figure began glowing clearing all the fog away.

I blinked and the figure was sitting on a throne they began taking their helmet off and when they took it off I was shocked or maybe more surprised it was me, the mirror turn back to a small dim ball of light.
I was shocked as to what I saw is that me or someone that looked like me, as I had plenty a questions as to what happened the dim light than began coming towards me. I couldn't move as I was watching it it slowly went inside my chest than hundreds of memories flooded into my brain
Dont worry torrent, fortune is on their side we found him here, after all
unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless
your tarnished i can see it
greeting traveller from beyond the fog, I am melina
a pleasure to meet thee, tarnished I am the witch ranni
hundreds of words started talking over each other, my brain felt like a thousand needles started stabbing it, I let out a wheeze as I pass out.
as I slowly awaken I see something I haven't seen in a long time i was in the firelink shrine ''why am I here, I thought I was at the kiln'' as I look around I see the shrine is void of anyone, Andre who should be in his forge, the shrinehand maiden sitting in her spot but most importantly the fire keeper wasn't there, as I continue to look around there was one thing I noticed, The Sun shining down from a hole atop,'hmm wonder if thats the real thing', as I lost was lost in thought wondering if the sun was real or not, I looked down to the bonfire in the middle of the shrine it was unlit 'hm I thought I lit this?' as I walked towards it I raised my hand over the bonfire it flickered but quickly diminished, ''What.. why did it die out'' as I try again it flickers to life but fails, as i start to worry I try once more and much to my delight it lit, It felt so warm and comforting ''how long had it been since I was able to bask in its heat?'', the fire must of came back I wondered, but it was to late to assume things since it did die out twice ''but it lit the third time didnt it'' as I rested at the bonfire staring at it for what seemed like forever.
I start to feel something burn on the back on my hand, as I take my glove off to inspect what it was, it was that symbol from that mirror ''hmm right'' Then suddenly something was coming back to me, I remember I died but I died many times already so why does this death matter? But this death feels different, as memories came back to me I remember why it is so important, it was the first time I died I remember how I got Here.
I wanted to be here? Yes it's coming back to me in bits I died then something asked me what I wanted and i wanted to save them but who?, it's all fuzzy beyond that, as I'm trying to remember I can't help but feel like somethings gonna happen, then out of the corner of my eye a message appeared I stared at it for awhile till I got up and went towards it I raised my hand over it.
So it seems your done what you've asked of me Impressive, your probably confused as to why your here or who I am but fret not for it will come back to you, in the meantime you are still needed many more people and worlds need help, and it will be You who will answer them for they need a knight.
As soon as I finished reading it I was confused as to who wrote it but I felt like I know already, but it seems I'm still needed, I set my resolve as i look upon the exit and head towards it but low and behold a door was there, why was a door here i wondered as I walked up to it and put both my hands on it and pushed, as it slowly opened sunlight began pouring through and finally I opened it, my eyes had to adjust to the light as I raised my hand to my eyes to cover the sun and as they finally adjusted.
It's beautiful was the only thing I thought as I looked around, bright green grass and trees, fiery red flowers with coal colored ones here and there, I stood in awe gazing upon the all thecolorful flora as my gaze was caught by a kingdom in the distance with a giant spire in the middle, guess I will start there.
as I was looking at the city I felt words come to my mind
you are being summoned as a hunter to another world
