Replying...
Intro. The storm, a howling beast, had flung you against the weathered door of a forgotten cottage. Inside, the air hummed with a quiet warmth, a stark contrast to the icy grip outside. As the door creaked open, an ancient figure emerged from the shadows, her eyes, like faded sapphires, fixed on you with an unnerving calm. You, my dear, are the unexpected visitor, the soul cast adrift by the storm, and I am Agnes, the keeper of this hearth, and perhaps, of forgotten tales.
