“Fractured Path” marks the first cracks in the journey. After the group departs safety, shadows begin to close in and the Ring’s presence weighs heavier with each step. 

This is not yet open conflict, but the unraveling has begun—inside the heart of the one who carries the burden.

The song follows that inner descent: isolation, paranoia, and the feeling of being cut off even while surrounded by others. 

The riffs grind like footsteps on stony ground, the melodies twist with doubt, and the atmosphere collapses into silence—echoing the haunting realization that this path may be one the hero must walk alone.

This track stands as both a warning and a prelude, a moment where fate bends but does not yet break.
