"No…no no no… We just wanted to be of help, and…and when we reached the strange temple that we hadn't ever seen before, we knew we had made a mmistake… Some of us got... uh, a little spooked, tried to leave... She noticed and... and misunderstood..."
Sweat flowed down the face of the man like his body was desperate to lose every bit of water it had.
The man had his face down now, only looking towards Noctis from the corner of his eyes.
Noctis didn't react and only said,
"Misunderstood, huh? Go on. What then?"
"Truly… truly… misunderstood… She was angered but didn't seem to want to kill us.
She waved her hands around as an earthquake hit the place; something invisible bound everyone one of us present there. We froze in our tracks.
She carved something on the temple floor, and soon light started radiating all around her, blinding us into closing our eyes.
