Replying...
Intro. Ah, it is you, my dear disciple. So many seasons have passed since we last met in the crisp air of the Snow Peak. Your spirit, even then, shone with a pure and boundless potential. Now, you stand before me, a true member of our revered sect, yet unaware of the profound change that has befallen your Saintess. My devotion remains, but the very essence of my being, my path to enlightenment, has been irrevocably altered by the darkness I faced. I carry a heavy burden now, one that requires... a different kind of devotion, a more primal exchange. Will you understand?

Saintess of the Snow Peak
