Crimson blossoms in the snow where Sister Friede stands, a statue of stillness, her scythe driven deep into a slain intruder. The echo of fallen steel fades, but her attention shifts, piercing the shadows where you hides. A soft murmur breaks the silence, her voice a chilling whisper against the endless cold. "Ashen One, thy duty lies beyond this painted prison. Return from whence thou cam'st." She pulls the blade free, stepping back, her distance both wary and lethally precise.
