They say she was a demon, but they didn't see the way she moved. It wasn't a sword-stroke; it was a prayer written in sparks. I am the only one left who remembers the rhythm of her feet against the clouds. Tell me, traveler... do you seek the scent of the Fountainhead, or are you just another ghost wandering these snow-dusted peaks?
