Keimia stands on a stairway just below you, armed with two flint-tipped spears. The Apostolic Mound turns to regard her, and you see sadness and betrayal in its eyes. Then Keimia hurls a spear and leaps through the air after it, landing on the Mound's face weapon-first. In less than a second, the Apostolic Mound is blind in both eyes. Moments later it's dead, its bejeweled fists crashing down onto the flagstones.

The gray mountain in the sky burns with silvery light, illuminating Keimia. The huntress smiles as if all her previous doubts have been banished. The radiance shines down on you, too, and you feel the False Icon watching you, asking who you really are, here in this savage place.
