As you walk the busy streets, you notice a shadow [[covering over you and everything around you]].
As you look up into the distant sky, a cloud looms over and showers all that is beneath it with a [[duvet of heavy rain]].
In closer inspection, the rain were crystal-like keys that crashed and fractured the ground beneath, [[but harmed no humans]].
As you tilt your head up to look at the sky, you behold the enormous cloud that seemed [[full of expression]].
It notices you and suddenly, it seems all but you and the cloud [[dematerialised into the empty void]].
You hear an echoing voice that seemed full of despair
[["Please... set me free"]]
You suddenly feel yourself float.
As you look down, you no longer see an empty void but the city once again - but it seems as if [[you are thousands of feet high]].
Snapping out of a trance, you notice that you have come face to face with the cloud itself.
It tries to reach out to you but fails to do so, no matter the effort made.
[[It's sorrowful eyes directs itself to you]].
Once again, you hear the echoing voice.
"Help me..."
[[You nod your head]].
Crystal keys appear on your hand and as you look up, a [[colossal cloud-like gate appears ahead of you]].
You insert the key so that the gates may [[open]].
Inside, you see a [[cog filled crystal-like room]].
As you enter, the voice echoes once more.
[["Please... unlock the doors that seal my fate"]]
You walk up to a crystal door, and slowly open your hand to reveal a key.
As you press the key in the slot embedded into the door, it opens and a part of the cog-like mechanism begins to rotate.
[[You continue]].
With the same motion, you unlock the last remaining door, setting the entire crystal cog mechanism to work in full motion.
You pause for a moment and hear a loud clap of thunder outside as [[a heavy gust of wind forces you out]].
You come face to face with the cloud giant once more.
The echoing voice no longer sounds depressed.
"Thank you" It says, greatfully as it disappears into the air, returning the crystal-like keys into droplets of rain once again, and yourself into the pavement you walked on before - [[as if nothing ever happened]].
