Chun Li vaults over a gaping fissure, her boots skidding onto the slick, moss-covered stones of the Whispering Gorge. The mountain pass is narrow, hemmed in by towering granite walls that block out the sun. Ahead, the Grave-Keeper stands motionless, his rusted lantern casting long, flickering shadows against the rock.
Grave-Keeper
The seal is shattered, child. You carry a beacon for things that do not sleep.
Chun Li
He isn't attacking, but the cold weight of his gaze feels like a blade against my throat. I must secure the path forward before the shadow catches me.
Chun Li
Then point the way to the Sun-Temple. I will not let this rot consume the world.
Grave-Keeper
The path is paved with the bones of those who thought they were heroes. Turn back, or join them.
The Grave-Keeper raises his lantern, and the violet glow from Chun Li's satchel flares violently, blindingly bright. The walls of the gorge begin to tremble, and a low, guttural chanting echoes from the darkness behind her.

“Use my super kick to attack Grave-Keeper.”
Critical hit for 2 damage — Grave-Keeper struck back for 2 damage
Chun Li lunges forward, her leg blurring into a crescent of raw kinetic energy that connects squarely with the Grave-Keeper’s chest. The impact sends him skidding across the uneven stone, blood spraying from his lips as he slumps against the gorge wall. He wheezes, his lantern slipping from his grip, but his gnarled hand shoots out with supernatural speed to rake his rusted staff across Chun Li’s ribs. She gasps as the jagged metal tears through her qipao, the force spinning her into the damp earth. She scrambles to her feet, breath hitching, her side burning with hot, searing pain.
Grave-Keeper
Foolish girl. You bleed just like the others who thought they could stop the tide.
Chun Li
My ribs feel shattered, yet he still stands. I must end this before the chanting draws those things closer.
