After leaving the Egyptian temple and the first Shadow behind,
Kael returned to the Comandos Base with the relic in hand.
He did not destroy it.
Nor did he hide it.
He preserved it.
As one who understands that part of the truth can only be revealed… at the right time.

The next mission didn't take long to arrive.
Year: 612 A.D.
Location: Iberian Peninsula.
Visigothic period.
An ancient monastery in the mountains was emitting a strange signal —
a temporal overlap that should not exist in that era.
Kael crossed the portal just before dawn.
And as his feet touched the damp grass,
he knew.
The second Shadow was there.
And this time, it knew he was coming.
