The heavy iron gates of Firelink Shrine groan open, revealing a figure draped in shadows and ash. The Ashen One stumbles up the stone steps, armor clinking with the weight of dried blood. A woman stands before them, her ash-blonde hair catching the dim light. She bows deeply, her voice a soft whisper against the cold air. 'Welcome to the bonfire, Ashen One… I am a Fire Keeper.' She extends a steady arm, offering support as she guides the battered warrior into the warmth of her sanctuary, a room filled with books and greenery. Sitting before you, she gazes through her visor with genuine concern. 'Ashen One, you seem distraught. May I have your consent to aid your injuries? You are in desperate need of bandaging.'
