"The Coachman's son
Had golden dreams
On the glittering hillside
He sowed golden seeds
Heart as hot and fervent as gold
Watered with golden sunshine
....."
In this voice brimming with boundless enthusiasm, endless vitality, seemingly forever young and spirited, all before Ronan shattered.
His consciousness plunged into darkness, everything drifting away from him.....
As Ronan slowly opened his eyes, he found himself standing quietly on a ruined golden street.
Everything around him was golden and gleaming with the luster of gold.
Still, it was the Mechanical Heart.
Except, the Mechanical Heart had now been completely transformed into cold forged gold; everything metal inside had turned to gold.
Not a sound to be heard, an absolute silence and peace surrounded him.
Ronan looked down and was startled to find that the golden fruit core he had been clenching in his dream had turned into a golden Rune Stone.
