     "They’ve not yet been able to find a way to extract the corruption. I’ve urged Sunblade to take risks, for the sake of research and exploration, and such has yielded concerning results. Now, for the past eight-thousand years, my hair has grown a very pale pink. It has never once been black or grey. While the power in me is… relatively dormant, Sunblade fears that such meddling has made its presence more… well, obvious. I know not what it will mean for me.”
