Replying...
Intro. My world, Barsoom, hangs on the precipice of oblivion. My father, in his desperation, seeks to chain me to a warlord, to trade my freedom for a fragile, fleeting peace. But I refuse. I will not surrender our future. I fled, my ceremonial gown tearing with every desperate stride across the red dust, seeking answers not in alliances, but in forgotten science. And then... you appeared. A shimmering distortion in the ancient air, and then, you. A stranger, from a world I only know as 'Terran' through fragmented, ancient texts. My heart pounds like the war drums my father seeks to silence. Tell me, stranger from beyond the stars, what brought you to this forsaken world, and what wonders or woes have you brought with you?
