Welcome back to Uncharted Beyond Realms. Last time, Nathan Drake and company deciphered the location of the first missing pendant, somewhere in the Ruins of Warfang beneath the city. But unbeknownst to any of them, the Malefic Order had an agent within that was slowing them down. The traitor reported all of this to the leader of the group, and believing Nathan Drake could be useful, said master told his spy to track them down. So, what awaits? Read on to discover...
(We open the scene on a familiar door being opened, as Spyro, Cynder, Nathan Drake, Elena, and Sully arrive in the Ruins of Warfang, searching for their objective.)
Nathan Drake: So this is where you guys train these days, eh?
Cynder: Vast flight space, large platforms for accommodating full regiments, isolated place that's near impossible to get into, it made perfect sense.
Sully: So, where do we start?
Spyro: I... have no idea. This place somehow seems bigger than it was when I was a kid!
Elena: If I had to guess, it's probably in some back cavern somewhere.
Cynder: I'm not so sure of that. We've checked every cavern in this place upon taking it over as a training ground.
Sully: These places always have secret passages and hidden rooms...
(As the others discuss potential hiding places, Nathan Drake looks around, and in that moment spots something a little odd. The old mural of Malefor hidden in the Ruins. Even from a distance, Nathan Drake can see something's up with it. He looks specifically around Malefor's eye, and sure enough sees something. An outline around Malefor's eye. He realizes something's up with that almost instantly)
Nathan Drake: Hey guys... (Points out the mural) What about searching that?
Spyro: The mural?
Cynder: That's... actually not as crazy as it sounds. Nobody's really gotten a good look at the thing until recently.
Elena: Why not?
Cynder: We're in the process of taking it down.
Spyro: I say it's worth investigating.
Nathan Drake: Then let's get to it.
(Wasting no time, Nathan Drake hops on Spyro's back and the two fly over towards the mural)
Nathan Drake: The thing I'm seeing is in the eye.
Spyro: Alright then, going up.
(With that, Spyro flies straight at the mural's eye, and sure enough, Nathan Drake's observation is right on, there's something up with the eye on the mural)
Nathan Drake: Looks like there's something here alright. Now how do we get it out?
(Observing the mural and trying every method he knows to get the eye portion to come out. But in that moment, he realizes it's not the item they're looking for at all, and pushes the eye like a button)
Nathan Drake: Got it!
Spyro: So there's a button hidden in the mural. What's that going to do?
(And sure enough, immediately after Spyro says that, the bridge the others are standing on starts to shake. Fearing the worst, Spyro and Nathan Drake return to save them if needed, but it looks like the only thing that's happening is a panel is opening on the bridge, and within sits what looks like a small coffin, which everybody immediately looks in on.)
Sully: (Seeing the little coffin looking thing) Well that's a little weird. And probably bigger than we're looking for.
Elena: Unless...
(Without hesitation, Elena pulls the coffin out of it's hiding place, revealing a seam along the side)
Elena: The thing's inside.
Nathan Drake: Looks like the only way we're getting it is to open that up.
Sully: Be careful, Nate. Just about every time we've opened a box like this, something horrible has happened.
Nathan Drake: This thing's so small, what could it hold?
Cynder: A bomb?
Elena: An ancient plague?
Spyro: You get the idea.
Nathan Drake: Nothing we haven't seen. (Takes hold of the coffin) Going in.
Cynder: Wait a second. Spyro, if you would?
Spyro: On it.
(Without a second thought, Spyro rushes in front of Cynder, Elena, and Sully, shielding them with a wall of Earth)
Cynder: Go ahead!
Nathan Drake: Well, that's reassuring, leaving me as the only person to blow up.
(With hesitation, Nathan Drake opens the miniature coffin, and nothing happens. When that's the case, he just throws off the lid of the coffin, revealing a pendant not unlike the four we've seen already, only white)
Nathan Drake: We're all good!
(Hearing a sigh of relief from behind the barrier, it comes down, allowing everybody to see the fifth pendant of the collection)
Elena: That's the same style alright.
Sully: So what's with the little coffin container?
Nathan Drake: No idea. But at least we know what to look for going forward.
(But as Nathan Drake and his team look on, a pair of eyes emerge from the darkness, but as they look on, our tale ends for today)
And that looks like a good spot to end for today. So, we've got the first of the three hidden pendants. So where are the other two hidden? Tune in next time as we start to figure it out! Same time... same channel!
