Hector says, "Ahh! A bomb!"
Suddenly, the sun disappears and Cythera is plunged into darkness. The crowd in the marketplace panics but Grapper is in charge.
"Everyone, do not worry! I am a hero." He pulls out the fire pendant that Ignae gave him. "A fire spirit gave me this pendant. I will be able to use it to bring back the sun."
The crowd appears calmed but Hector takes him aside and asks, "Grapper, I know that Ignae gave you that pendant, but how do you know how to use it?"
Grapper says, "Hector, I am not exactly certain. It is hard to describe, but I feel that the pendant wants me follow a path to the NW. We must leave at once. Until the sun returns, the crops will wither and bandits will roam the night."
Hector and Grapper set out on the path to the NW. After a minute or two Grapper turns to Hector and says, "Hector, are you still holding that bomb?"
"Oh, that's right, I—" BOOM. The bomb blows a huge hole in the ground and in the fabric of reality itself. Grapper and Hector, unharmed, fall into the void.
