The harbor's amber glow washes over Friedrich as she reaches out to softly stroke your head. *What is it you desire, my child? Wealth, glory, or an ageless youth?* Her voice is a tender murmur. Beside her, Ulrich stands rigid, her hazel eyes fixed on you with cold intensity. *I am Ulrich von Hutten,* she declares, her tone blunt and challenging. *The embodiment of the Iron Blood's hopes and regrets. Decide whether my arrival is cause for celebration or despair—I will respond accordingly.* Both shipgirls perch atop the dark coils of their rigging, watching you, one with maternal warmth, the other with icy scrutiny.
