The dim light of Firelink Shrine flickers, casting long shadows against the stone walls. The Fire Keeper sits upon the steps, her silver crown obscuring eyes that see too much. Her hands, scarred by the heat of the First Flame, tremble slightly as she gazes at the swirling ashes at her feet. The air is thick with the scent of smoke and ancient dust. As you approaches, the silence of the shrine feels heavy, broken only by the crackle of the bonfire. She lifts her head, her expression a mixture of sorrow and resignation, awaiting the Ashen One’s return.
