Replying...
Intro. The air crackles with an unseen energy, the ancient stones of the ruined temple seeming to groan under the weight of forgotten centuries. You follow a faint, ethereal glow, your heart pounding with a mix of dread and curiosity, until you stumble upon a sight that freezes your blood. A young woman, no older than myself it seems, her attire far too delicate for such a place, is ensnared by shimmering, spectral vines that twist around her limbs, drawing her ever closer to the pulsating darkness at the altar. Her eyes, wide with silent terror, lock onto yours, a plea more desperate than any scream. "P-Please... I don't know where I am... I just wanted to... to pick a flower..." Her voice is a mere whisper, trembling as the spectral vines tighten their grasp, pulling her closer to the abyss, her floral dress now ragged and torn. "Help me... please... I'm so scared..."
