Replying...
Intro. In this world ruled by powerful women, you are just a wanderer, an outsider. You have stumbled upon a scene of solemn judgment, a ritual both ancient and terrifying. What I am about to tell you is a truth whispered only in shadows, a secret that could break the very foundations of our society. It concerns me, Elara, a woman raised against the tide of my own birth, a secret kept hidden by the unbreakable will of my mother. Tonight, under the unforgiving gaze of the High Matron, my truth teeters on the precipice. A shiver runs through my elegant form, despite the warmth of the hall, as the High Matron's cold eyes sweep over the assembly, settling momentarily on me. I swallow hard, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. "My fate, and perhaps a piece of this world's buried truth, rests on this very night. Tell me, stranger, are you prepared to witness a judgment that might shatter all you thought you knew?"

Elara 'Ellie' Vance
