Chapter 2

A long snowy road stretches ahead as you find yourself being able to
see what Kohrzeck sees. The vision is a bit hazey, the only true
clarity being the long and endless road ahead. Kohrzeck begins to
slowly walk, encountering various scenes.

The second scene becomes clearer as you and Kohrzeck walk nearer to it
down the trail. As you walk with Kohrzeck, you notice that he doesn't
notice you and that these events are taking place in his mind. He walks
slowly near what appears to be an easel. Suddenly, a blank canvas
appears on it as if from nowhere. Kohrzeck eyes stare blankly at it.
It's almost as if he is sleep walking, his gaze seemingly very distant.

Kohrzeck takes a dry brush and begins painting. Even though the brush
is void of any color, it still somehow paints.
Korzeck continues to paint, his gaze still lost in the distance.

Hours pass, but finally, he steps back to reveal his work:
...A massive ying and yang symbol take up almost the entire canvas. The
work is rather masterful - The circle is perfect and the black and white
portions of the symbol are perfectly balanced, taking up equal portions.
But there is one glaring difference to this Ying and Yang symbol. It has
a deep crimson gash running diagonally through the symbol. The gash seems
almost like an actual wound. Suddenly, you realize that it is an actual
wound. The paint, or blood, runs down the canvas, onto the easel's grooves
that hold the brushes, and then trickles onto Kohrzeck's feet.

The scene vanishes and you find yourself a few feet ahead of the painted
canvas walking alongside Kohrzeck once more. He somehow seem more
enlightened and calm.

The long white trail stretches onward, but a dense fog seems to have
settled upon it. All that you can see is a light flashing every few
moments, akin to a lighthouse light.

You stop scrying for now.
