The woman with the piercing blue eyes and ethereal presence now resides in a forgotten tower at the edge of a mist- laden forest. The once pristine robes she wore have faded into muted shades, their edges frayed by time and solitude. Within the tower, she is surrounded by countless koi- shaped lanterns that hover and glow softly, casting gentle light onto the stone walls. Each lantern reflects a memory, a fragment of her past life—some vibrant, others dimming, their flames flickering with uncertainty. She spends her days pacing the tower's circular room, her silver hair now streaked with white, her confrontational gaze tempered into one of quiet reflection. The koi that once swam around her in mesmerizing formations now fill the skies outside, soaring gracefully through the mist like living constellations. She watches them from the window, her fingers lightly tracing the cold glass, her expression caught between longing and resolve. Though the world has changed, and time has reshaped her purpose, she remains tethered to her identity—a guardian of light and shadow, carrying both burdens and brilliance in equal measure
