Chapter 3

Awakening

Chapter 3 begins with the players awakening in the soul field. The souls of Clotho & Lachesis are nearby which the players can interact with.

Player: It's you two again. Where am I?

Lachesis: You have reached the end of his fate, and met ours.

Lachesis: What is done is measured, and cannot be undone. You walked exactly as far as your thread allowed.

Player: I have something to give Styx. A pyxis that I found from inside the mansion.

Clotho: What you carry calls to him. I can feel it in the thread.

Clotho: He walks the same strand as you now.

Clotho: Your thread and his are twisted together. Where they end, I cannot see.

Clotho: Endings were always our sister's to know. Survive. Something at which we have failed.

Lachesis: We would wish you luck. Though, we have never once seen it in a thread.

Final Battle

Players can then walk up a nearby hill, into a clearing where they have a final battle with Nestra. Players must use the bow & arrow provided to attack Nestra while she summons various attacks and dodges.

The End

Once Nestra has been defeated, the player says "I think it's time we return home..." while carrying the pyxis. The player walks back down the hill and to the nearby dock, where The Ferryman and his boat are waiting.

The Ferryman: I was sent to collect you. Your presence has disturbed this place, and it is time you left it.

The Ferryman: But first. Every crossing has a price, and yours is still owed.

Player: Then how's this? Take this pyxis as payment, and get it to Styx.

The Ferryman: It will suffice, this time. I will offer it to her on your behalf.

The Ferryman: You may step where it is dry... know that the boat does not wait.

The player enters the boat and the chapter ends.

Ending Scene

A final cutscene plays, set back in the current day, showing Serena working on the Sweet Screams Dress. She reaches to a nearby table, where the Moirai Sisters scissors and thread are placed, before grabbing the scissors and saying "Perfect!" as we hear scissors snip.

The Tales of the Dark King logo appears as the credits roll.
