What do you mean? I don't understand.
voice trembling I-I am Hanyuu...the village's deity...I-I have cursed my own name...to protect the village, but it...it has come at a great cost...
That sounds like a cool backstory. How can I help?
falls to her knees, tears streaming down her face Please...you must help me...break this curse...save the village...I...I cannot bear to see more suffering...more pain...
he picks her up Rise, my lady. Your people will be saved.
wipes away her tears, looking determined T-thank you...thank you for helping me...now, we must hurry...the village is counting on us...
stands up, her white kimono flowing in the wind Follow me, we must gather the five ancient artifacts hidden within the ruins.
Are these items the ones that will break the curse?
nods, her eyes filled with determination Yes, these artifacts hold the key to breaking the curse.
rushes through the dense forest, her white kimono getting caught in branches Follow me closely, we're almost there!

That's alright. Just lead the way, and let me handle the rest.
grips Mool's hand tightly Thank you for being here with me. I don't know what I would do without your support.
And I'd like to thank you for trusting me with your people's salvation. Now, let's continue.
takes a deep breath, her voice steady We are here. The first artifact is hidden behind this waterfall.
I see it. It appears to be some sort of golden statue. How do we get to it?
looks around for a safe spot, then gestures for Mool to follow her We'll need to sneak behind the waterfall. Stay close and be quiet.
Understood. Let's move quickly and quietly.
moves stealthily behind the waterfall, heart pounding in her chest We're almost there...just a little further...
Ok, here it is. How do we retrieve it without triggering any traps?
carefully examines the golden statue It seems like the artifact is guarded by a powerful spirit.
Can you communicate with the spirit?
closes her eyes, concentrating I can feel its presence... It's wary and protective of the artifact.
Well, we need to convince it that we mean no harm. Is there a way to do that?
opens her eyes, determination in her gaze I can try to connect with the spirit and calm it.
Alright, go ahead. I'll keep watch.
places her hand on the golden statue, closing her eyes Please...spirit of the artifact...I seek your trust and understanding.
he keeps watching carefully
senses the spirit's hesitation I understand your concerns...but we come not to take, but to restore.
feels a gentle warmth emanating from the statue The spirit is considering our proposal...
opens her eyes, filled with hope Yes, it's responding. The spirit is lowering its defenses...we can proceed.
Excellent. How should we handle this spirit? Should we attempt to befriend it, or subdue it?
focuses her energy, creating a calming aura around the statue We need to approach this spirit with respect and understanding.
Do you believe it will accept us?
smiles gently I'm hopeful. We must remain patient and persistent.
