<p>The knight slept soundly amidst his endless dreams, but then awakened to search for something that belonged to him, to seek something lost from within him—his lost soul. Auron suddenly awoke in a bewildering state, in the eerie and desolate wilderness of a dark forest, unaware of what had transpired, why, or where he was now. But one thing was certain, he had to search for something that was no longer within him—his soul.
