Prince of Persia : Sands of time

13. Sharahman's Death

Prince was under in catacombs.

He saw dead Sharaman.

Sharaman lieing in ground, his white sword next to him.

Prince fell on his knees in front of him.

-No...

- Oh come on now. You couldn't believe he would survive.

Because the Prince altered the timeline by saving Kaileena and killing the Dahaka, Babylon was attacked by the forces of the Vizier, who drove Sharaman into the palace's catacombs and killed him. The Prince remained unaware of his death, and hoped to reconcile their differences. The Prince would later reveal to Farah the story of their falling out in Hanging Gardens, but not what the argument was about.

When the Prince is driven into the catacombs, he discovers his father's body lying next to his his sword. Sharaman's death provided the Prince with the willpower necessary to overthrow the Dark Prince without the presence of water, and destroy Zurvan using his sword.

He then heard Dark Prince saying.

-What now, another venture to Island and another turning of Sands. He would appreciate it dearly.

-No!

-You are right. I have acted like child, undoing my work since doing mistakes. But from now on, I accept my mistakes. I know what to do.

Then, he closed his eyes, and for Dark Princes surprise, he casted away his sand form and was himself.

-What is this, you have no water for turning back.

But he rises palm, for silence.

-Leave, and do not return. You no longer have me under your form and deception.

After moving over that, he didn't hear after while Dark Prince anymore.

He made his way out of catacombs.
