(The following includes lyrics of a song. You know the drill... just start the music already)

Claire's P.O.V.

I entered a grand room with a chest on a pedestal across from me.

"CLAIRE!" Before I could take one step, someone shouted my name. I turn around and see my blunette sister...

"Elise..."

 "Claire, don't do this. You don't know what's in there!"

"It called to me... this Neolian energy... I need to know why this power wants me to have it."

"Claire... you don't want to do this."

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT AND DON'T WANT TO DO?! WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN EACH OTHER IN SEVEN YEARS! I'M DOING THIS AND I'M NOT TURNING BACK!"

(45 seconds in; Claire = plain italics, voice = parenthesis)

Here at last

To satisfy this longing

I'm so close to it now

No time for second-guessing

I walk up and fight the power

Willing me against it

I don't care what people say

They don't get it one bit

How can they say they know me

When I don't nor my intent

I'm here for answers

My identity

Coming here to the present

(1 minute 15 seconds)

I was about to touch the chest when I sensed someone...

Max.

"Claire, if you open that chest-"

"No Max... whatever you're going to say, don't say it! I know more than you regarding what I'm doing."

"No, you don't!" I looked at him and he recited something. "If she DOES find her power, she could fall to her past."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"There is a spirit in that box who seeks to trick you into believing it is your true power. If you open that box, it will be released and you, as well as all the universe, will fall to the past of that spirit that seeks revenge!"

"...HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" I'm starting to feel afraid again... I don't want to have come so far, hear it is all for nothing, and then really leave behind what I need... but if I take the chance...

"THINK, CLAIRE! IS THIS REALLY WHAT IS BEST?!"

(Two minutes 1 second)

(Is this really how this ends?)

(Will you doubt so you won't care?)

(You want to find yourself well)

(Now this is your chance)

This peak of this mountain I have climbed

This height of strife

I can't tell

What is a lie

I want to find me but I don't want revenge

What is the cost?

What is not a gain?

It doesn't seem to matter anymore

What is the cost?

What isn't a gain?

I just want answers

Aren't they the same?

I feel anxiety

I feel their pain

They can't have what they're looking for

But have me

Be the same

No

Not my way

I will find myself

(3 minutes 19 seconds)

Second half of the song in part 1!

Poor Claire is so unsure, she can't even trust those closest to her.

What will happen next?

Speculate in the comments!

Bye!
