After creating the soundtrack by meshing together tracks by smiletron (used with copyright permission) with ambient soundtracks I realized that the story needed changing a little. Whilst keeping the theme I adapted the story.
A man follows in the footsteps of himself, reliving the last few moments of his life, as he follows two children, one being a representative of his younger self. As they follows a treasure map into the cave similar to the original story. In the cave they witness the fight and the egg being mistaken for the treasure the map leads to. The protagonists representative character runs out to grab the egg followed by his friend but in the conflict a hunter notices and captures the one character and wounds the protagonists representative, who escapes the cave with the egg. AS he escapes into the forest exhausted he lays against a tree at sunrise before passing away, the protagonist standing over his child self before the cycle resetting.
