Long ago, I let the wolf into our midst, bringing untold suffering upon the people. That sin is mine to bear.

Now the "Perfect Transcension" courses through me, and I struggle to suppress the bloodlust in my heart. But my flame gutters in the wind, and the drums will soon fall silent.

Since entering this game, you have shaken Heaven and Earth. Like an awakened lion breaking through the mist, each step lands like thunder. I have held on in this darkness until now, waiting perhaps for none other than you, the true one to pluck the green.

I have an important task to entrust to you. Take this key and open the door to my lion dance hall.
