Amore in Anor Londo?

After retrieving the peculiar doll Reima channels his ElderBlood magic and vanishes from the asylum, he reappears on the wall of Anor Londo where he'd seen off Solaire. The sun feels warm on his face... Despite knowing it's just an illusion created by Gwyn's son Gwyndolin, funny how he's actually the only god remaining in these "lands of the gods". Reima looks down at the sprawling city, what he hadn't noticed in the game is the miles of buildings surrounding Anor Londo, this must be the "noble" area where the gods reside, the lower part must be where the common people along with the worshippers live. Thinking about it logically there must be full infrastructure for a society to operate... That means... A bank or treasury exists. A huge grin forms on Reima's face, if it does exist, then he will drain it dry of resources... For the good of the lands ofcourse. Nodding his head at his basic plan he starts descending the winding stairway towards where the brass armoured fire keeper tends to her flame. He continues until he reaches a building guarded by giant armoured knights wielding shields and spears, they aren't hostile but.. A souls a soul.

The Giant doesn't seem to notice Reima enchanting his Sword with Crystal Magic weapon, he also doesn't notice a large Crystal Spear forming a few metres away and pointing directly at it's face... It doesn't notice when it's head disintegrates under the massive impact of said spear.

Reima just looks blankly at the slowly fading away corpse of the giant... He was expecting it to atleast try to dodge the spell, is it hollow or just stupid? He shakes his head and peeks into the room to see if the other two knights that seem to be guarding a statue are hostile.. They're not.

He walks into the room and sees a chest behind one of the giant... I need this. A thought flashes through his mind. He goes to the end of the room so that he gets a good angle that isn't blocked by one of their large shields, again he conjures a Crystal Soul spear and fires it at the head of the Giant knight. It explodes in an amusing display of blood and gore before fading away, it's friend seems to have noticed by the way it's stomping towards him. It's 8-9ft tall with gold armour that shines in the orange sunlight, it swings it's massive halberd in an attempt to cut Reima in two, he blinks away from the strike and behind the giant. It looks around confused until it feels a sharp pain in it's leg, looking down it sees a weird glowing sword covered in Crystals impaled through it's leg armour. The sword is pulled out viciously allowing the Crystals to rend the flesh of the leg causing the Giant to stumble onto one knee. It tries to get up as it's weapons are useless in it's current position due to their massive size and length... Reima knows of the weakness of such weapons and blinks above it's head before using his falling momentum to chop at it's neck, it completely servers the grey skin and it's large head falls to the floor causing dust to fly up. It's body fades away as Reima looks on disappointing.

Reima "They are more like show pieces than actual guards..." He looks at the large statue of Lord Gwyn? He guesses it's probably based on him due to the large beard, he doubts Gwynevere grew facial hair in this timeline... He opens the chest next to the statue which reveals a Demon titanite, probably the most valuable due to it's ability to upgrade boss weapons.

He stores the Titanite and exits the building before taking the first entrance on his left that leads to the fire keeper. Walking down into the building that only seems to be lit from the bonfire he sees a woman leaning again the far wall wearing what seems like brass armour.

??? "Well, you are a rare visitor. Welcome to the lost city of Anor Londo, chosen Undead. If you seek Lord Gwyn's old keep, exit here and head straight yonder. If you are the chosen one, a revelation shall visit thee.… What follow thereafter, depends upon you…" She speaks in a stoic dull feminine tone, repeating exactly what she says in the game... Reima knows she's a servant of the DarkMoon Covenant that hunts "Sinners" and "Blasphemers" in Gwyndolin's name, She actually tries to kill you if you reveal that Gwnevere had actually abandoned Anor Londo long ago. The only thing he can think to describe her as is a blind follower.

Reima looks at her revealing his cat-like eyes which causes her back to straighten, "Greetings FireKeeper... My name is Reima Ludvig, may I know yours?" He politely bows to her in a polite gesture.

She seems confused by the question as if she's never be asked that before, "I.. I don't have name. You can refer to me as Keeper if you wish."

He nods, while analysing her... No name, must've been complete indoctrination by Gwyndolin... I haven't decided whether I should kill that cross-dressing brat yet... It depends if I can unearth any key information.

Reima "Pleasure to meet you, Keeper. I hope we keep our relations amicable" He smiles at her before sitting down and resting at the bonfire.

There are pictures of Anor Londo surrounded by thousands of buildings... I wonder what secrets we didn't discover in the first game?

As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
