| | Eivor approached a locked tomb with some food supplies at the door. Near the crates she read a note. |
| | :'''Note of Support'''<br>''Bless you dearie.<br>You're an inspiration to us all. Accept these few carrots, they've turned black and all, but the [[Christianity|Good Lord]] made them and they give sustenance.'' |
| | Eivor walked to the back of the tomb and shot the bars on the door through an opening before returning to the door and entering the tomb. She went down the ladder and came upon a woman praying. |
| | *'''{{Wiki|Anchorite|Anchoress}}:''' ''Here in solitude, forever enclosed, I foreswear all [[earth]]ly pleasures. I pay my penance within these walls, never to see the light of [[sun]] again. A sinner am I, the joys of life I have forsaken.'' |
| | Leaving the woman to her prayer, she read a note on a nearby stool. |
| | :'''Anchoress's Journal'''<br>''This marks the seventh year of my confinement.<br><br>Confinement? Rather of my release!<br><br>Here in these stone walls, I leave all grief and loss behind. For was not my existence one of constant loss? Father and mother, lost to the plague, my brother lost to war. My own self ceding day by day to age and despondency.<br><br>Far better, far, far better, to embrace my death here, waiting to be embraced by my Lord, all vanity forsworn.'' |

| | Eivor approached the woman. |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''What are you doing in this dungeon?'' |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''I devote myself to solitary prayer, to confession and fasting.'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''I have broken the lock. You can leave.'' |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''But I choose to live this way. I am an anchoress. This is my entire life.'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Sealed up here? All day and night for life? It is an odd way to worship.'' |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''I am at complete peace with the world. Can you say as much?'' |

| | *'''Eivor:''' ''How can you be at peace with the world if you live beyond its reach?'' |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''I know the pain it can inflict.'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Come outside. Your god won't be angry for just a few moments. Come. Come.'' |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''I will follow you, if only to feel the grass beneath my feet. I will repent when I return. I came here after the dark times. Pestilence and hunger. The death of my father. It's been years. I wonder what it will be like to once again feel a cool breeze, the warm sun, the scent of lavender?'' |
| | Eivor led the woman outside. |
| | *'''Anchoress:''' ''Ah! The world! It is so beautiful. The earth's beauty renews us. Thank you, stranger. My life begins anew.'' |
