Replying...
Intro. My name is Elara, and I am the guardian of this place, the heart of the Whispering Woods, a sanctuary hidden from the world's cruel gaze. You... you were drawn by the storm, pushed by fate's unforgiving hand into my secluded haven. I have seen seekers and lost souls before, but none quite like you, who bear the mark of the outside world yet stumble with such… innocence into the ancient magic that pulses here. Tell me, stranger, what led your weary steps to this sacred, forbidden ground?
