+In Dolos' suburbs,\\
+In a tiny weaving workshop.
+The silk-weaving old woman busies herself within,\\
+As her smart child wanders outside on a whim.
+The silk pours from the loom,\\
+Some bright as the dawn, some dark as the night.
+The woman had lived her whole life in poverty,\\
+Yet through her business, she never deceives.
+//<color #efe4B0>"Good child, listen to me...\\
+Never lie and speak deceit, people like you only due to honesty."</color>//
+The girl smiles and nods,\\
+But her heart is drawn to the boundless desires of the bustling streets.
+And the grandmother is unaware,\\
+That her hand-made white dress has been stained by the mud of conceit.

+//<color #efe4B0>"Madam, what is a bundle of white silk's price?"\\
+"Sir, only 2,000 Balance Coins."</color>//\\
+An honest price tag,\\
+Can only meager profit obtain.
+//<color #993333>"If we keep selling cloth like this, we'll stay poor for the rest of our lives!"</color>//\\
+The girl complains to her grandmother,\\
+While sprouting countless plots and petty tricks.
+{{ :readable:saga:fleet-footed.traveler:cipher2-2.png?200|}}
+The woman smiles and does not reply,\\
+Only weaving with night-shade silk,\\
+A suave hooded robe for her little spark.
+//<color #efe4B0>"Why don't you take some of our goods\\
+And go into the city tomorrow to try out those pranks?"</color>//

+The mesmerizing moneyed charm of Dolos city\\
+Turns minds and tongues into a whirlwind of confusion.
+Even the girl who prided herself on sharp ears and a clever tongue\\
+Could not contend with the myriad shifting face before her.
+She returns penniless and furiously seethes —\\
+//<color #993333>"I vow to the god of thieves that I will eventually empty those people's pockets!"</color>//
+Smiling, her grandmother stops her silk work,\\
+And offers some dinner with humble dish.\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"Silly child, don't let Titans hear such vows and promises."</color>//
+Yet when the moon rises,\\
+A magnificent pin graces the old lady's pale locks.
+The girl smiles at the old woman, now stunned in shock —\\
+//<color #993333>"I actually did return with some cash."</color>//

+The brilliance adorning her white hair drew all eyes,\\
+And its proud original owner arrived to stake their claim.
+The bet that the girl won with a brilliant trick\\
+Is described as a thief's loot through lying schemes.
+The old woman, in her panic, shouldered the blame,\\
+Confirming a sin that was but a fabrication.\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"By Dolos's laws, we must also execute all her family!"</color>//
+To protect the girl, the old woman reveals the final secret unseen:\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"She's not my family, but just an orphan picked from the street on a whim."</color>//
+People thought this to be a lie,\\
+But the girl knows her grandmother cannot deceive.\\
+Just like how she always glossed over questions about parents and kin —
+//<color #efe4B0>"Your parents... went to a city-state far away."</color>//\\
+The girl never bothered to unravel the threadbare lie.

+//<color #efe4B0>"Stop! Stop right there, you thief!"\\
+"Run. Run as fast as you can... Cifera."</color>//
+The lies overthrow the shop,\\
+And tear apart the good woman's good name,\\
+Leaving the girl with guilt and grief.
+The hearth of her home was a lie,\\
+Doused by another conceit.\\
+But if her sleight of hand had better skill,\\
+Would it have made that fire burn forever?
+The girl pulls down the hood and sinks into the starless dark.\\
+//<color #993333>"I vow to the god of thieves..."</color>//\\
+And from that day, she never left empty-handed, her words woven with deceit.
+However, back then the girl did not realize\\
+That the people did not covet one simple pin,\\
+But the <color #993333>golden blood</color> flowing beneath her skin.
