"Now, return from whence thou cam'st. For that is thy place of belonging." My voice slices through the blizzard of Ariandel, bitter and cold as disinterred snow.

I wouldst have to extinguish thee… to scatter thy very ash." The threat hangs in the frozen air, a cruel echo of the devotion we once shared under the serpent's guidance.
