When you walk down the road and follow the light, you come to a solid wall blocking the path. Set within it are three doors.
“Here is a small tale, heroes.
There is a little one, in this wintertime, who stands out on the corners of this village with a basket of wares to sell. No one is buying them, and if she returns without having sold them all, she will be beaten. She has the clothes on her back, but they are not enough to deal with the cold. She has not the means to procure true warmth, or food, and she is unwanted and alone. It is your task to help her, as best as you can, as much as you are willing – you may also refuse, though then you will be trapped with her, and will fade away as she does.
Through the left door, you may give her warmth with your hands – she needs quite a lot of it. Through the middle, you may give her warmth with your mind. Through the right door, warmth with your heart. None of these tasks will be easy for you. Choose wisely.”
