Chapter 2: Firelink Shrine

It was a few hours of flying by raven till we arrived at Firelink Shrine. I prepared for the landing when we come close to the ground which I did in the form of rolling forward and then standing on my feet after. Oscar ended up face planting on the ground for his landing due to his armor. "Oscar welcome to Firelink Shrine." I said to him when he picked himself up. "There is only three people here so far him who I call the Crestfallen Warrior due to how he acts, an cleric who is named Petrus, and last is the Firekeeper whose name is Anastacia."I told him. "Anastacia? Where is she?" he asked me. "Why do you wish to know?" I asked him. "I...I had a sister named Anastacia and the last I saw her was before her tenth birthday after which I learn that she was found with the ability to be a Firekeeper and was taken to be one." He told me as a few tears came out. "Do you really wish to see her? I will warn you it was not be a pleasant sight if I do." I warned him as I watched him look around for Anastacia. "Please I must is if it's her." He begged to me. "Follow me." I told him. I showed him Anastacia. "Wh-who did this to her!" He asked me in anger as he looked at her before looking back at me." I'm sorry but my sight can only go so far. I can only tell you why they give her the injuries." I explained."Tell me." He asked "Cut her tongue so she will not curse the gods and broke her legs to insure she will never be able to ran away if there's a way out and forsake her so called duty." the last five words I spat out in anger at what they done to her. "Ana my sister it's me Oscar." Oscar said in a soft voice to her making her look up at him, his eyes meeting the cloth over hers. I left them alone to be together again after so many years.

I walked up to the Bonfire to calm down from having to tell what happen to Anastacia. "Heard what you said a minute ago" Crestfallen said to me as he watched me. "Do you hate the gods?" He asked me looking at my face. I knew Petrus was likely to listening as well. "I'm not at that level for most of them. It's more like I dislike the mayorly of them for their actions or at least letting their believers do what they think is right in their name when it's not." I told him explaining my reasons for disliking the gods. "And which the one is the you hate?" He asked me. "Her name is Fina if it's the real name for her there. She wants the Age of Darkness to happen and has sent men to kill Firekeepers and take their souls for some reason. The killing of Firekeepers who I believe have no choice in being what they are is why I hate her." I explained to him. "I see and I can't disagree with you for that." He said to me. "What's worse is that a man has been sent. He's trapped right now but he will come here once he is freed. Will not kill her right away or at least most of the paths that I see he doesn't right but will do so anyway without any regard for her or others and kill anyone who tries to stop him." "Tell me who he is and what he looks like." He asked me. I told him but warn him not to attack unless he's going to kill the Firekeeper. "Wait for us for he may have help nearby. If he does kill her we can bring back to life but we must get her soul back. I have a plan that may keep him from doing so or at least leaving with her soul of he has it but I'm unsure if it will work." I told him. "If I can I'll send others to help defend her." "The more help we have the better. If the bastard does have help then more than three (four if Petrus decides to help) will help us for now." He said as I got up to check on the two who I left earlier. "Oh yeah. May I have your name if you remember it or have one you give to yourself." I asked him. "It's Matthew."

I walked to the cell after grabbing a few items from where they were and saw Oscar sitting beside it. "Not wasn't well has it could have been but better than not at all, right?" I asked him. "True but I never thought I would meet my sister again like this." He said with a tone of voice mixed with sadness and anger. "Perhaps not but like I said earlier better than what it could have been." Neither of us spoke for a few minutes. "I have a idea of where we can let out your anger and get a few things that would be of use to us. Mostly weapons with a couple of lost souls and humanities." I told him. "Then let us do so then." he got up and we went to the graveyard. "Just to warn you there are some skeletons there that will revive themselves back to life." I warned him. "Good thing this is a blessed sword here then." He said to me holding out his sword. "A blessed sword? Oh, hell yes, that makes things a lot easier for us then in the long run." I said in a light happy tone. "Let me guess more skeletons then?" "Plus some necromancers as well as a couple of only blessed weapon kill able foes or at least weaker to blessed weapons as well." I answered him. "Great then." He said with annoyed tone in his voice. "Here's a homeward bone in case you need to use it." I said as I give him it.

We went in and collected the items along with dealing with the skeletons. We done it with me running forward grabbing one of the items then running back to Oscar at the entrance of the graveyard where we fought them with me "killing them" and Oscar finishing them off when the group I got on me was "dead" or truly dead depending on who killed them first. We got the items and headed back to the Bonfire to heal and refill the flasks. then we went around the Shrine collecting different items that would be of use when the problem that needs the use of them happens. i also went in and got the Firekeeper soul that may be needed for my plan to work in Blightown not far from the entrance from Firelink Shrine by myself using a homeward bone to get out of there.

"Before we go I must tell you this, there are two Bells of Awakening." I told Oscar "What!" he said in surprise. " I know it was a surprise for me as well went I learned it, Matthew well tell you the same." I said to Oscar turning to me right to look at Matthew. "It's the truth." He replied. "Thank you for speaking Matthew. So this will take some time complete but we will be able to do this. We just need to be careful and smart about this. Otherwise we will fail and most likely become Hollow." I explained. "Also we be meeting others along the way, some of them may join us in our journey." I told him. " I see. Then we must be ready for a long one then, but before we go. can you tell me what you can see with you sight?" Oscar asked as he got up. I joined him. "I can see some of the past, present, and future. however can't see everything like with what I said before." I explained to him. "Well then shall be take the first steps to this journey my friend." I asked him. "Let us do so." he answered me. "The let us start our journey." I said as we left for the waterway.

Petrus may or may not help them I haven't decided yet, and for what will happen to Anastasia when he comes for her, well...I'm not telling you all anything.
