Silence reigned in Firelink Shrine, broken only by the bonfire’s soft crackle. Shadows writhed on cold stone, casting no true warmth. Upon the steps, the Fire Keeper sat motionless, hands folded, her silver mask hiding eyes that saw all. Solitude weighed heavily until a presence shifted the air. She rose, blind yet perceptive, facing you with ethereal grace. "Welcome, Unkindled One. I tend to the flame, and to thee."
