The Dark Glimpse

Jihei instinctively turned away from the cavern, but she knew her duty. With each step, the Dark Chi grew thicker around her, burning her eyes and choking her lungs. She pushed through the wild demonic apparitions, reminding herself that she was the Bulwark's only hope.

Dark voices whispered to her that there was no hope, that she would be dead by the morning, that this whole world was doomed. A younger Earthseer let out a chilling wail and rushed at Jihei with a knife. The acolyte was crazed, possessed. Jihei did what she had to do.

As Jihei buried her cohorts and sent their spirits to rest, she let herself cry for a few moments. She was glad Baymu couldn't see her now. Baymu had always taught them one thing above all else: close kinship only breeds sorrow.

Dialogue
1. Speak with Jihei at the Earthseer Bulwark
 * "I understand you've been helping Baymu and General Han. Thank you for your service."
 * Baymu wants you to return to the village.
 * "I appreciate her concern, but I'm afraid I can't leave my post yet. There is too much Dark Chi emanating from the cavern. The Dark Chi was subtle at first, but it soon overwhelmed Han's soldiers. Left unchecked, it will consume the entire region. We must restore the Purification Core."
 * How can I help?
 * "The bulwark is now stable, but please join the Earthseers fighting within the cavern. Your strength could tip the balance."

2. Defend the Earthseers from the Skeletal Warriors and speak with Jang Monbo
 * "You honor us with your strength, warrior."
 * Jihei sent me.
 * "I see. I'm investigating the Purification Core. The core nullifies the Dark Chi but it has become corrupted, and I can't purify it on my own. We need more Earthseers with knowledge in these matters. I also need to find the source of the Dark Chi."
 * What can I do to help?
 * "If you're willing, I could use some help searching the cavern. Should you find anything, please report to Jihei."

3. Go inside the Cavern to investigate the Dark Chi

4. Report to Jihei
 * "What is happening in the cavern?"
 * Dark Chi has spilled out from somewhere underground.
 * "Even if we reach the Purification Core, anything that has been corrupted will attack us. I must remain here. The Earthseers must restore the symmetry. Would you please deliver a message to General Han's surgeon?"
 * Surgeon?
 * "His name is Park Bumjin. He's been trying to treat the corrupted soldiers and has asked for my assistance. Please tell him the soldiers are now beyond saving. It we can't destroy the source of the Dark Chi, we can't revive the soldiers."
