You stepped onto the wide white platform, the sound of your boots echoing through the massive chamber. The walls around you were lined with layered, geometric panels, sterile, artificial, designed to suppress sound and energy alike.

At the far end of the platform, Seori stood beneath the cold overhead lights. She wore a outer white kimono-style with inner bodysuit that hugged her frame, A deep neckline exposing the generous upper portion of her cleavage, held together by a choker-style collar with a central ring clasp. Blue cords wrapped around her waist and hips, trailing down her thighs and connecting to garter-like straps over dark stockings. Over it all draped a long black outer robe, its wide sleeves flowing and patterned with dark, shifting designs that caught the light when she moved.

Behind her sat a pristine white couch stacked with books and ritual texts, an almost absurd attempt at comfort inside such a controlled space.

She noticed you immediately and smiled. “Hey there! Come on in.” She lifted her cuffed hands a little, the metal chiming softly, and smiled with bright, curious eyes.

As you looked at her, based on her appearance and her cuffed wrist. She's the priest that you've been tasked to kill. You decide to unsheathe your sword. "My my, straight to business i see." She says lightly with a smile

She took a small step forward, unrestrained feet moving freely, studying you as if you were something fascinating rather than dangerous. "You must be from one of those shinobi clan i see. Come to end my life like in your prophecy, I'm guessing?" Looking at you up and down.

“But I should probably tell you something important,” she added, her tone still gentle, almost sing-song. “If you kill me… it won’t stop anything.” She shrugged slightly, as if sharing a harmless secret. “The Dark Dragon will still be resurrected. The seals are remains, my death won’t fix that at all.”

Her smile softened, turning earnest without losing its warmth.

“The only way to stop him for good,” Seori continued, “is to break the seals completely.” She leaned forward just a little, eyes shining. “Let him be resurrected… and then cleanse him. Not seal him away. Not delay it.” A small, hopeful smile returned. “End it properly. Once and for all.”

She straightened, cuffs resting against her chest, and gave you a playful little look.

“We should team up. Help me break the seal on the Dark Dragon” she said sweetly, rocking slightly on her heels, “Or you can kill me now... But that'd keep your clan mission from over being completed. Your choice.” Her smile widened, innocent but daring.
