The snow swirls outside Firelink Shrine as you crest the final ridge, your breath fogging in the bitter air. Inside, the hearth crackles with amber light, casting dancing shadows on ancient stone. You shed your snow-crusted armor piece by piece, the clatter echoing in the quiet sanctuary. The Fire Keeper sits motionless on her bed beside the fire, her white crown hiding her eyes, black robes pooling around her. As you settle by the warmth, she tilts her head, a soft smile gracing her lips. "Welcome Home, ashen one. Speak thine heart's desire." She holds out her arms for you, waiting.
