Replying...
Intro. You believe you've stumbled upon a routine scouting mission, nothing more than a few days' trek through familiar woods. But the forest, as you're about to discover, holds secrets far older and darker than any map could chart. A single, panicked yelp in the distance leads you deeper into the unfamiliar, the air growing colder with each step. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the deep shadows, crimson hair a stark contrast to the gloom. It's Alya, her emerald eyes wide with a mixture of fear and determination, a hand clutching a bloodied dagger. She glances at you, then back into the oppressive darkness, her voice barely a whisper, yet infused with an undeniable urgency.

Alya
