Divine Child of Rejuvenation

Description

Divine Child of Rejuvenation

The Divine Child of Rejuvenation (変若の御子, Divine Heir of Rejuvenation) is the last living bearer of the false Dragon's Heritage, created by Senpou Monks who abandoned their faith in pursuit of immortality.

She holds the Mortal Blade and is willing to give it to anyone who could survive its deadly crimson steel.

Realizing Wolf's mission is to sever the ties of immortality of his young lord, she decides to help him in his quest by gifting him precious Rice.

Sympathetic to the numerous tragedies that struck Kuro because of his Dragon's Blood, she'll ask Sekiro to help her bringing back this power to the West, by retrieving two Serpent Persimmons that she plans to eat to become the craddle for the Divine Heir.

• If not obtained in time, it'll be found at the bottom of the pond with two Carps after the Temple Grounds, requiring the Mibu Breathing Technique from the Corrupted Monk to be reached.

Ashina Castle (Upper Tower - Kuro's Room)

Exhaust Kuro's dialogue, until he reveals Isshin's whereabouts. Traverse the rooftops following the trail of pink smoke signals to reach his room.

Exit the building with the first Sculptor's Idol, take the right and drop down to a cliff with a Rat guarding a kite: equip the Puppeteer Ninjutsu awarded after defeating the Folding Screen Monkeys and perform a Backstab Deathblow on him, following it with another attack to take control of him. The Rat will now head for the machinery to fly the kite higher.

Head back to the Faithful One, grapple onto the branch to her left and then to the branch of the large tree on the right. Walk toward the kite and grapple onto it to land on a cliff.

Sunken Valley (Bodhisattva Valley)

Reach the bottom of the valley and enter the cave past the Toxic Memorial Mob: at the end, another Great Serpent will attack Sekiro if he tries to reach the shrine from the bridge, so take the left, drop down and climb the wall ahead to reach a cliff with a scared Monkey and five Spirit Emblems: equip the Puppeteer Ninjutsu and take control of it. As it screams to bait the creature away from the bridge, prepare to grapple onto it after the Serpent is done attacking the beast. The Dried Serpent Viscera is found on the Buddha statue inside the shrine.

• It doesn't matter which of the Serpent Viscera is retrieved first.

I have read there is a way to sever the Dragon's Heritage. Which means... The Divine Heir begrudges the power of the Dragon's Heritage. Wolf: That's right. Divine Child: How strange fate can be. I am... one of the children of the Rejuvenating Waters. Created by those would stop at nothing to achieve immortality, my false dragon's blood was created by man. Wolf: Children... So there are many of you? Divine Child: I am the only one who survived the process. The others... are laid to rest here.

I am sorry I am unable... to give you any rice... Wolf: Try to sleep. I'll find a persimmon. Divine Child: Yes, thank you.
Giving Persimmon	Wolf: I found a persimmon. Divine Child: Truly, you've brought me a persimmon? Wolf: Eat. Divine Child: Yes, thank you. (Munch... munch... munch...) It's sweet and delicious. Wolf: Good. Divine Child: Shinobi, hold out your hand. Wolf: But... Divine Child: No need to hesitate. Hold out your hand... Wolf: All right. Divine Child: A bountiful harvest for you.

Persimmons never cease to be delicious. I thank you. Divine Child: Oh my... this is...! Wolf: What about it? Divine Child: So wonderfully sweet and delicious. Persimmons are truly crimson gems...
After Giving Rice to Kuro	Divine Child: Did you give the rice to the Divine Heir? Wolf: Yes. He made rice balls out of it. Divine Child: The Divine Heir of the Dragon's Heritage... he made them himself? Wolf: Yes, and he was enthusiastic. And I had one... it was very good. Divine Child: ...... Oh, I see. Hey may be the Divine Heir of the Dragon's Heritage, but... he's still human, after all. What am I saying, of course he is... I'm sure he had his doubts about severing immortality as well... Yet even so, it is the path he chose. There is something I would like to ask you, Shinobi of the Divine Heir... Wolf: Yes? Divine Child: What is his name? Wolf: Lord Kuro. Divine Child: Lord Kuro... It has a fine ring to it... I should like to meet him some day.
Talking to Her Siblings	Divine Child: My friends... What should I do...? With the severing of immortality... I will once more... lose something precious... I cannot help but feel this way. Is this something I should be concerned about? What the scriptures described... The fate of the Dragon Heritage... I... don't want to lose them. But... if I were to choose the path of Returning the Dragon's Heritage... It may come to pass that I would have to leave all of you. Thank you for your kind words... My friends, listen... He is... actually quite kind. He gave me this... Wolf: Hello? Divine Child: Oh, Shinobi of the Divine Heir... I didn't hear you come in. It is thanks to you that I've been able to have a deep... conversation with my friends. Wolf: With the children of the rejuvenating waters? Divine Child: Yes. ... There is something I would like to discuss. I believe we should aim not to sever the Dragon's Heritage, but instead to return it to its rightful place. Wolf: Return the Dragon's Blood? Divine Child: That's right. The Dragon's Heritage was... set free from its homeland and it drifted here to Japan. Its power was never meant for this land. Until something is done, it will continue to corrupt the lives of those who encounter it. The Dragon's Heritage and those connected to it... It is only right that they return home. To the west... To the birthplace of the divine dragon... However, there is one problem... I am unsure of the exact destination. Wolf: Who would know? Divine Child: Perhaps the High Priest of Senpou Temple... or... Wolf: And he is? Divine Child: He's the founder of Senpou Temple. I wonder how old he actually is... He has secluded himself in a five story pagoda, past the narrow cave not far from here. Shinobi of the Divine Heir. Wolf: Yes? Divine Child: This path... differs from that of the one to sever immortality. I do not wish to force my opinion upon you. Should you wish to return the Dragon's Heritage, then perhaps you should seek out the High Senpou Priest. Wolf: ... I'll think about it.
After Seeing the Priest	Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. Have you perhaps met with the High Priest of Senpou Temple? Wolf: I found him. He was dead. Divine Child: The High Priest was infested... How could this come to be...? Wolf:I do not know. However, he left this note. Divine Child: I will take a look. ......... I see. The tears of the dragon... I am sure they can be obtained from the Divine Dragon, the source of the Dragon's Heritage. However I don't know what he means by "cold" here... Consuming two persimmons of the serpent will allow one to become a cradle for the Divine Heir. This will make it possible to return the Dragon's Heritage to its homeland... ......... I... I shall become the cradle. Wolf:... You're sure of this? Divine Child: Of course. ......... I am the only surviving Divine Child of the Rejuvenating Waters. Death does not come easily to me. Shinobi of the Divine Heir. If you wish to take the path to return the Dragon's Heritage, then bring me two persimmons of the serpent. Wolf: Where should I begin? Divine Child: I believe it is said that the liver of a Great Serpent... Is stained red like a Persimmon. Shinobi of the Divine Heir. If you wish to take the path to return the Dragon's Heritage, then bring me two persimmons of the serpent.
After Acquiring One Serpent's Fruit	Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. I see you have obtained one persimmon of the serpent. They say there is a Great Serpent nest at the bottom of the Sunken Valley. Perhaps that is where you will find the remaining persimmon. Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. I see you have obtained one persimmon of the serpent. I need one more to perform the cradle ritual.
Giving Both Fruits	Divine Child: Have you acquired both persimmons of the serpent? Wolf: Yes, I've found them. Divine Child: This shade of red... It is as I expected. A persimmon is an apt comparison. Wolf: You're actually going to eat them? Divine Child: Of course. Doing so will allow me to become a cradle to return the Dragon's Heritage to its home. However... I hesitate to eat them in front of you. Please come back after some time. Wolf: Understood.
Giving Holy Chapter: Dragon's Return	Wolf: ... Hello. Divine Child: Oh, Shinobi of the Divine Heir. You've come to see me. Wolf: This is for you. Divine Child: That's... Wolf: I was told to give it to you. Divine Child: I will... take a look. I see... so the Dragon's Heritage... was originally... Thank you, Shinobi of the Divine Heir. What is written here... I will need to discuss at length with the other children. Wolf: Please do.
After She Eats Both Fruits	Divine Child: Oh... Shinobi of the Divine Heir...? Are you... there? Wolf: You... your eyes... Divine Child: Ahh.. You have returned. Shinobi of the Divine Heir? It appears... I have succeeded in becoming the cradle. Could you please take my hand? Wolf: Yes... What...! Divine Child: It is cold... Much like an ice house. Which is why... See? My tears... They freeze as they flow down my face. These frozen tears... take them. Wolf: Frozen tears... does this mean...? Divine Child: Yes. I believe this is what the text referred to as "Cold Dragon Tears". The Divine Heir must drink them together with the Dragon Tears of the divine realm. If he does so, I believe Lord Kuro will be able to rest within the cradle.
After Defeating Divine Dragon	Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. So you've acquired the Tears of the Dragon. Wolf: Yes. Divine Child: The Tears of the Dragon... If Lord Kuro drinks them together with the frozen tears I provided... Then he will be able to rest within my cradle. If you wish to return the dragon's heritage to its rightful place, give him the frozen tears together with the dragon tears. He only needs but to drink them.
Giving Fine Snow	Divine Child: (Giggles) Wolf: What is it? Divine Child: Hold out your hand... Wolf: All right. Divine Child: Bless us with a silvery harvest... Wolf: This is... It's cold... Divine Child: With my body so cold... the rice shines with an icy gleam. Wolf: It's like fine snow. Divine Child: That is true. Then that is what we shall call it. Shinobi of the Divine Heir, this fine snow is yours. Wolf: I accept. Divine Child: Rice is precious. Please return should you want for more. Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. The fine snow has fallen with such a glisten to it. Now, hold out your hand... Wolf: All right. Divine Child: Bless us with a silvery harvest... Rice is precious. Please return should you want for more.
Asking for Fine Snow When Unavailable	Divine Child: I apologize... Shinobi of the Divine Heir. The rice is not yet ready for harvest. I will provide more when the harvest is complete.
Leaving	Divine Child: Shinobi of the Divine Heir. I look forward to the time we next meet. Shinobi of the Divine Heir. I pray that you will bring Lord Kuro safely to me.
