As you start to speak, unbelievable pain courses through your body and mind, so overwhelming all you can do is freeze in place. The whole world goes away, replaced by a vast gray expanse above you, full of churning symbols.

And you understand that it's time to pay the price. You will not stop the falling mountain, the False Icon says. You will make sure it falls, and that a new history unfolds according to the False Icon's design. This is your purpose. This is your only purpose. Gray fetters wrap around your soul, imprisoning you in a labyrinth of spiritual obligation.
