[You land on a dirt path. But it's about the only thing that is, well, natural. Your surroundings are made of glass. Glass trees, glass sunflowers, glass grass. The path cuts between all of those things, and leads forward to two doors.

There appears to be a monster waiting in between them, but he too appears to be made into glass. The doors are different, one being neat and fairly new, the other having seen much better days. However, it's still fairly sturdy.

If you look behind the monster and between the doors, it appears like something should be there. It's a very obvious void, in both feeling and in sight. If you look at the ground between them, you can see hairline cracks starting to spread out into the ground.]

"He would want you to go to his heart, though he'd claim he wouldn't mind whichever."

[brotagonist]

...okay. I'll go there, then. Which door is it?

[squirreledaway]

"The younger door, of course~"

[brotagonist]

Of course?

[squirreledaway]

"It isn't obvious that someone as old and as seasoned as Ratatosk would show his strength and scars with pride?

Show some respect!"

[brotagonist]

But it's just the pact. The pact is new, right?

[squirreledaway]

"Yes?"

[brotagonist]

...all right.

[shrugs and heads for the newer door]

[squirreledaway]

[it has a squeaky hinge. But it opens easily!]

[brotagonist]

[checks the hinge for rust :|;;]

[squirreledaway]

[it looks new from the outside!]

[brotagonist]

[huh... heads inside then??]

[squirreledaway]

[you find that you are in a cramped hallway. It's stone, and the only lights are the torches on the wall. It's a bit dusty, like the hallway is about to come down.

When you move forward, you have a split. You can go left, or you can go right.]

[brotagonist]

Ehhh...

[checks THIS side of the hinges for rust.]

[squirreledaway]

[there appears to be some rust on the hinges]

[brotagonist]

[:|;; I have the metal polish I use on my swords... tries that.]

[squirreledaway]

[that lessens the squeaking some...]

[brotagonist]

[right! looks around the hallway, knocking on one of the walls :\a]

How'd he let this place get into a state like this?

[squirreledaway]

[the wall seems sturdy enough to take light taps in most places. It's when he finds a loose brick that the entire room rumbles]

[brotagonist]

—erk!!

[I... I will try to go left for now]

[squirreledaway]

[run fast, you can get out into an open field if you go that way!]

[brotagonist]

[open field!!! y-yay. looks around...]

[squirreledaway]

[It's pretty open and fieldy. But there is a cabin ahead. You can see the slide outside of it, which... pretty much marks it as Peridot. There aren't any other cabins in the immediate vicinity, but there is a path that would bypass peridot]

[brotagonist]

Peridot, huh.

[goes to knock on the door!]

[squirreledaway]

[the door opens fairly easily!]
