Greetings, friends! I have r-r-returned from the new land,
Shengui Guo, and the people seem ver-r-ry nice. They gave me all kinds of gifts for removing the spirit bar-r-rier that kept them hidden, but I don’t feel r-r-r-right keeping all of these things for myself… please,
have a look at these and choose some things to take home.
Speaking of lifting spirit ba-r-riers, you did a great job in defeating Kiyo! The people of Shengui Guo told me that she used to be such a benevolent spir-rit, and kind of their p-r-rotector. But she got a little too pr-rotective, cutting them off from the r-rest of the world. They had pleaded with her as the spir-r-its started becoming hungrr-r-rier for r-r-remembrance, and she was so conflicted in what to do that she ended up lashing out at everr-r-yone, both inside Shengui Guo and out. The city lost all of its life and color, and so did its people. That’s what the fear of something bad happening did to her. She ended up becoming the destr-r-ructive force she was so afr-raid of.
Kiyo’s not hur-rt, she can never r-r-really be physically hurt like you or me, but you helped defeat the fear inside of her that had taken over. You may see her, watching over Shengui Guo again. Over time she'll r-r-return to the happy self she used to be, the wise people of Shengui Guo assure me. We just need to keep visiting and gr-r-adually the land will return to the prosperous place it once was. Which reminds me, you should go to the
Floating Market! It's only just being r-r-ebuilt, but it's quite the lovely place.
Many good wishes to you, fr-r-riends. I hope if we meet again it will be for only the happiest of r-reasons. Thank you eter-r-nally for your help!
