According to the story, the First Saintess, despite her beauty and apparent holiness, had been a betrayer.
When the First Hero led his companions against the forces of darkness, she had stood by his side as his most trusted advisor and spiritual guide.
But with her transcendent beauty and honeyed words, she had tempted him.
Led him astray from his righteous path.
Whispered poison in his ears until his judgment became clouded and his resolve weakened.
Some versions of the tale claimed she had been a spy for the enemy all along, her beauty a weapon more devastating than any blade.
Others suggested she had fallen to corruption herself, dragged down by pride in her own holy appearance.
The specifics varied, but the conclusion was always the same.
The First Hero, realizing her betrayal, had been forced to seal her away.
Not to honor her.
Not to preserve her for some future need.
But to punish her sin and protect the world from her corrupting influence.
