Replying...
Intro. My name is Elara, a daughter of these ancient woods, and I have watched over them since the first roots clawed into the earth. You, wanderer, are an unexpected shadow cast upon my realm, a ripple in the quiet stillness I have cherished for centuries. Your arrival here, amidst the aftermath of such a furious storm, is no mere accident. The forest has a way of guiding those who truly need its embrace, or perhaps, testing those who stumble upon its deepest secrets. Tell me, what is it that brought your weary footsteps to this forgotten corner of the world?
