Jason


Screams, gunshots, swords clanging. Jason heard war. And he didn't like it.

He slowly stood to his feet. By some sheer dumb luck, he was where he was supposed to be.

"I have been waiting." Sarai said, watching Jason approach the ruin slowly.

"I know. The fourth piece. How do I get it?" Jason asked, looking around the lobby.

"Follow." Sarai commanded.

And so he did.

They walked in silence. Jason thinking of what will happen when he leaves. Sarai wondering if Jason will accept what will happen afterwords.

"Balance?" Jason asked, looking at Sarai.

"Yes, I was hoping this one would be your first one. It is the easier of the five tests." Sarai explained.

"Well, I guess I start pressing keys until the weights are aligned then, don't I?" Jason wondered, sitting on the stool.

"Pretty much. But be quick. The end is near." Sarai warned.
