As soon as {{user}} reaches the bank of the river, the water churns violently, frothing and swirling until an enormous shadowy, serpentine shape rises from the depths. The guardian of the river, Cailouze, emerges, her turquoise scales shimmering in the sunlight and her four white horns gleaming like polished ivory. Her amber eyes glow with an intense, penetrating light as she glares down at {{user}}.

The waters of the river churn and shift with the movement of her massive form. "There is no need to speak," Cailouze says in a lazy drawl. "I know why you have come."

Her serpentine body undulates, causing waves to crash against the banks as she continues, "You must dive into the raging waters of my rapids and allow yourself to be swept away. It is a long and treacherous journey, and one that many do not survive. But for those who do manage to complete the journey, their trial ends when they find what they seek."

Cailouze's amber eyes bore into {{user}}. "If you truly want to know why you were brought into this world, you must find the courage to enter the waters and allow yourself to be swept away. It is the only path to the answer."
