A cold glint flickered in his eyes, and I smiled- If just a little.
"Or should I say… Colonel Wenchi."

His features suddenly showed signs of cracking. From shock to confusion and then, to a light exhalation.
"How did you know?" he asked.

A sudden chill crawled up my spine, and my breath hitched. The battle, the illusions, Wenchi's strange behaviour- none of it should have been possible under normal circumstances. Unless...
He was already cursed by the Dark Souls Tree. And the dark soul's tree was responsible for everything...
It all now made sense.
Gazing up.
"Place two to two, and it wasn't that hard to figure out."
