(Darkroot Garden) (Kiln of the First Flame)

Percy was waiting for Priscilla to wake up before he set on his journey once more.

Percy had explored many places in this place, but now it was time to explore the forest.

Percy had to slash, parry, and kick the people who were inside the garden, but they attacked first, so Percy naturally retaliated.

Percy killed them before he made his way past the cat that he had seen with Artorias, and threw a bridge.

Percy was in a new forest area with weird mushrooms, but honestly, it smelled nice, and Percy liked this place.

Percy walked past the forest and pushed open the door with no difficulty. there I meet her...

my old friend Sif.

"Sif," I said gently reaching forward and rubbing her snout.

sif laid down and her tail started wagging. I began laughing as I began petting her like I would my dog.

belly rubs, ear scratches, the whole shebang.

"she's a good girl," I said scratching under her chin.

for the first time since Percy had been in this cursed world, he let out long laughs of pure happiness.

Joyous howls filled the forest as two old friends meet again.

"Is this your master's grave girl?" I asked as I gently pet her head.

sif whined underneath me, I could feel her sadness for her deceased master.

I saw another body sitting there with a soul item. I reluctantly touched the soul orb.

[Gold Tracer

Dark Silver Tracer]

"May you two rest in peace" I said before performing a bow.

"and may you have a good afterlife together, in whatever afterlife that you believe in, " I said.

sif gently nudged me with her nose, sniffing my body.

"you've done a good job defending this place girl. good job" I said as pet her head.

sif barked and wagged her tail, she took great pride in being able to protect her masters grave.

I took Artorias greatsword off my back and after thinking for a while I stabbed it into the ground.

"you have served me well, but now it's time for you to rest with your master," I said.

"you coming girl?" I asked as I headed for the exit.

sif bounded after me happily. her size shrunk and she was now the size of a normal k-9.

two... bonded together.

Man and wolf. just like it was preordained.

Percy took sif to Andre and he upgraded [Dark Silver Tracer] and [Gold Tracer] to +5.

"I'm ready girl... you with me?" I asked sif. sif just barked happily before jumping down the hole.

we landed safely and I put all of the Lord's souls into the kiln.

the burst of light caused Percy to shield his eyes and Percy's other hand shielded sifs.

the door opened and when we walked in we were in a white area and lots of ghosts of black knights were walking past us.

sifs growled wearily as she saw the knights. we made our through actual black knights and they were easily dealt with.

a parry and then a stab was all it took.

there were a total of 5 black knights, but even they were no match for this Percy Jackson.

Percy heard Night playing beautiful music in his head that only he could hear. something about the music made Percy calm...

together, the wolf and man entered the boss arena and together they fought.

Percy was the tank. using Havel's armor and his big black shield was more than enough to take Gwyn.

sif was the damage dealer. when Gwyn tried to target her, there was Percy to block.

but it happened... Gwyn fell.

now it was Percy's choice...

to rekindle... or to let the flame die...

(choose)
