Memory Flower of the Aberrant Three-faced Puppet

"Three souls as one." What would that truly look like? Lost in thought, she failed to notice the doll in her hands taking on a different shape. Yet adding two more heads made it seem just right.

Much like the three of them. They shared the same master and drew from the same origin, yet each followed a different martial path.

I. the Wandering Healer

The Herald's Voice: Master Steel, your blade can split stone and cleave mountains. Few in this age can match you.
Steel, the Senior Master: Hmph. Spare me the flattery. What do you want?
The Herald's Voice: I'm here to save your two junior sisters.
The Herald's Voice: Master Frost's cultivation of cold Sha-Chi has left her unable to endure heat. Over time, even the warmth of sunlight burns her like fire.
The Herald's Voice: To escape the sun, she's spent years in an ice cave... timid as a mouse. She's incredibly skilled, but she won't fight.
The Herald's Voice: The youngest, Master Chaos… her fire has burned out of control. She either goes mad, or falls into deep sleep for days.
Steel, the Senior Master: Looks like you've done your research.
The Herald's Voice: I travel far and wide, healing people with my Esoteric Art.
The Herald's Voice: I've been working on a technique called "Three Souls as One.” It can treat Sha-Chi disorders from yin and yang imbalance... but...
Steel, the Senior Master: Sounds like it takes three masters working together.
The Herald's Voice: Heh, exactly. It is a fine method, but very few can use it.
The Herald's Voice: I've been testing this method across the Wulin, looking for the right people. If it saves you and your junior sisters, I'll ask for nothing in return.
Steel, the Senior Master: Heh. Cure my two Junior Sisters... and your name will shake the Wulin.
The Herald's Voice: With Transcension running rampant, This technique is only the beginning. I'll keep refining it... until even Transcension itself can be reversed!
Steel, the Senior Master: You make it sound as though the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.
The Herald's Voice: I wouldn't dare claim that. I'm merely offering what little I can for the Wulin.
The Herald's Voice: Master Frost is overwhelmed by cold Sha-Chi... while Master Chaos is consumed by fire...
The Herald's Voice: My "Three Souls as One” requires three masters of equal strength.
The Herald's Voice: Once it works, their Sha-Chi will stabilize —the cold and fire will balance each other out. That should cure them.
The Herald's Voice: Not only will they keep their skills, they will be even stronger than before!
Steel, the Senior Master: Twenty years... they've suffered like this... for twenty years...
Steel, the Senior Master: If this succeeds... will my two Junior Sisters return to normal?
