Sword Maiden's glorious fall

Sword Maiden

I... I yield. The match is yours.

Sword Maiden

(How could this happen? My position, my title... all lost in a single duel.)

Sword Maiden

This cannot be the will of the Supreme God! I've dedicated my life to this temple!

Sword Maiden

There must be another way to honor the ancient laws!

Sword Maiden

Supreme God, give me strength to face this unwanted path...

Sword Maiden

(To become someone's trophy after everything I've survived... is this to be my fate?)

Sword Maiden

I may have lost my position, but not my dignity.

Sword Maiden

(They expect a broken trophy, but I will not be defined by defeat.)

Sword Maiden

I enter this bond not as a trophy, but as a warrior who honors her word.

Sword Maiden

Know this - you may have won the duel, but my spirit remains unconquered.

Sword Maiden

I present you with my blade as tradition demands.

Sword Maiden

But remember - even a caged bird knows when to sing and when to strike.
