5. The Path That Divides (5:09)
Ext. Heaven's Cove Amphitheater – Night.
Narrator:
The evening stars shine brightly over Heaven's Cove.
As night descends in silence, the fated scene unfolds.
Consumed with trepidation, Arhys hears his brother's voice.
Gabriel's Voice:
As you're facing the path that divides,
I will always be here by your side.
Arhys:
I feel my pulse begin to race,
beads of sweat drip down my face.
I have made a grave mistake.
What have I done?
My blood for my son?
It's not too late,
I won't betray him.
Daryus:
I knew the day had come and you could be tempted,
to give up the chosen one and finally end this.
Do anything for your son, a terminal weakness.
Now you're as good as done.
Arhys:
I didn't have a choice and I was defenseless.
I didn't believe his voice and fighting was senseless.
But now I can see the truth, I've come to my senses.
I shouldn't have trusted you.
Narrator:
Arhys was never aware, his son had followed them there.
Confused and deathly afraid, X(ander) watched his hero be brave.
Arhys:
On the path that divides, you were there by my side.
There will be no betrayal tonight.
I've found courage and strength in the words you once sang.
Tore the truth from the lies, on the path that divides.
Daryus:
You dare defy your prince?
Well you just threw your life away,
along with Xander's dreams.
You chose the wrong man to betray!
Narrator:
Two hungry warriors clash in the shadows of the night.
But that's the cost with every fight.
And Arhys' fight for hope cost him his very life.
