Come, my child.
Embrace your fate.
Let the wheel turns as your paths opens up.
One path can lead to death.
One other path can lead to the ending that you want.
Come.
Walk forward and choose your path, let the wheel of fate lead you to what you desire the most.

What behind the door is...
".... A child?"
A child, laying asleep on a pedestal.
The child has a short white hair, pale skin, and short stature.
"They... Should be at 5 years old? Or is it older? Or younger?" He thought as he walk to the pedestal.
The room is dark. So dark that it feels like a endless empty dark space with nothing but the pedestal and the child.
The pedestal itself is almost look like a coffin if not for the lack of the lid with a diagram under the coffin. A torch in each side of the coffin.
The child seems asleep if not for the lack of the chest not moving to indicate they're breathing.
"Who put a dead child in here and not burying them? Pitiful child, can not rest peacefully." Zen sigh.
At this point, everything is become logical in Zen's eyes.
He look around before trying to find a switch for the light, yet what he touch is just air.
So he keep groping the wall and nothing.
No switch was found.
"The cabin is nice, but this room doesn't have a light switch? Are the owner wants to save electricity or just sensitive to light?" He thought in annoyance before walking to the pedestal and look down at the child.
The child, upon closer look, has long eyelashes, pale lips, and soft eyebrows.
"A girl? Or a boy?" He doesn't want to discriminate.
He sigh before extending his hand to the child, his hand hover on top of the face.
Before his hand can touch the child, the once closed eyes of the child immediately opened and grab Zen's hand.
Zen, not reacting, just look at the child gripping his hand tightly.
"... So you do are alive. Though you're dead, kid." He said, looking at closely at the child.
Now the child's eyes can be seen fully.
Red.
Red ruby eyes, shining yet seems dead, slowly moving to look at Zen.
"..." The child just staring, with blank face.
Zen was unbothered by it, just look back at the child.
"Kid, let go of my hand this instant." He said, frowning when he can't take his hand from the grip of the child.
Now looking carefully, Zen see a engraved words on the bottom of the coffin, previously hidden by the child's body.
Orion Marionette.
"Orion.... Marionette." He said, causing the child to grip hia hand tightly.
"So your name is Orion, huh." Zen sigh.
"Orion... A boy's name. You're.. A boy then? Or a girl with a boy name?" He try to talk to the child, yet the child just gripping hard his hand.
Annoyed, Zen was about to forcefully take his hand from the child's grip before he heard the child, now known as Orion, speak.
"You..."
"Hah? What do you want to say, kid?" Furrowing his eyebrows, Zen lean a little closer before the boy release his hand and grab his face with both hands.
"You are the one...." The child with icy tone.
Just after those words were uttered, Zen's world become black without a warning, completely cut off from anything from the world.
