Furies: She did it! She can open the gate to Helheim. To Hela. To Dillion. Don’t open the gate! She has to open the gate! No, don’t! It’s dark. The darkness! Only the dead may cross…
Senua: Druth? Anyone?
Zynbel: There is no one here, but me.
Senua: Not you.
Zynbel: Did you think that I would let you go? That you lost me back in the wilds? I will never let you go. You can’t get rid of me. I am your shadow. And I will be watching when you draw your last dying gasp.
Senua: I’m not ready to die.
Zynbel: You will be when you see what they did to your dear beloved.
Senua: DILLION! Dillion…
Zynbel: In this waking nightmare… Where all dreams come true. You searched for control, a way to pull through. When you were in love, you left him in tears, to smother your furies and banish your fears. But in darkness, they came, through stormy black seas, they raided these shores. Do you still hear his screams? Now that you’re home… he’s so far away. They’ve taken his soul. To these Gods you cannot pray. They can break you, but not your promise, even his death won’t keep you apart! Through this darkness, you will find him. In your sword still beats a heart. You fought for love and spoilt by your darkness within, you fought for your dream…now there is no way to win… In the head of his corpse lies the seat to his soul. So you must carry his vessel to bring him back home.
Senua: No, no.
Zynbel: They can break you, not your promise, even his death won’t keep you apart. Through this darkness, you will find him. In your sword still beats a heart. The darkness touched you. Everyone could see it in the hollows of your eyes, a gaze averted from life. You ran from it, but brought it nearer. Led it to him. An endless suffering worse than death. And you wanted to surrender? Abandon him to find peace with the Gods? No. The darkness won’t allow it. So you will walk into the lair of the beast, look it in the eye and you will go to war. This is your mission. This is your quest. There is nothing else left. The Gods made you a warrior for a reason! It’s your calling. Why suffer the past, when there is a new road ahead? The only one that makes any sense.
Zynbel: Every gate you open into darkness brings another chance to fight it!
Druth: The journey to Helheim is never a straight one. Each must find their own path. Align yourself to its secrets and you will find yours.
Narrator: The gate. It’s opening. Why?
Furies: It’s coming.
Narrator: That song again. It’s Hela…
Zynbel: Yes. The source of the darkness. It’s coming. This is your moment.
Narrator: I’m sorry. I can’t watch this.
Zynbel: What are you doing? You’re showing weakness! You’re not a warrior, you’re a disgrace! The Gods will punish you for this! Pick up your sword! Pick up your sword! Pick it up! Fight it! Get up! Get up! Get up and fight!
