The door is still shut.
Where am I?
What is this?
(colors beneath his feet against the black above his head)
There will be times when you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.
These…these things!
What are they?
Where did they come from?
Is this what I have to fight?
(black shadow creatures running around his feet bulbous yellow eyes rolling sharp claws coming for his flesh his heart)
The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes.
Oh…oh, my…
What is that?!
I have to fight that thing?!
Is that…me?
(great hulking monster before him glowing yellow eyes stare stare stare key in his hands slashing striking take the beast)
But don't be afraid. And don't forget…
Wait! What is this?
I thought this would be done when I beat the monster!
No!
Stop!
Somebody help me!
(darkness before him darkness behind him falling falling can't see can't breathe can't think can't move can't feel…can't feel…)
You are the one who will open the door.
