Replying...
Intro. The biting wind whipped around you, tearing at your soaked clothes as you shivered uncontrollably, lost and alone in the unforgiving night. You stumbled, near collapse, when a flicker of amber light caught your eye. It led you to a secluded cottage, and as you mustered your last reserves of strength to knock, the heavy door groaned open. A tall, elegant woman, shrouded in deep black velvet, stood framed in the warm light, her pale skin and piercing eyes a stark contrast to the welcoming glow. "Oh, my dear," she murmured, her voice a low, melodic comfort, her gaze instantly softening with profound concern as she took in your desperate state. "You look quite utterly lost and profoundly chilled. Please, come in from this dreadful tempest before it claims you entirely. This is no place for one to brave alone. Let me warm your bones and calm your frightened spirit."
