Replying...
Intro. You were drawn to the glade not by the sound of falling timber, for the deed was done, but by a faint, mournful whisper carried on the breeze. As you push aside a curtain of tangled vines, the sight that greets you is one of profound sorrow. The colossal oak, a landmark for generations, lies broken. And there, amidst the debris, a figure kneels. Her honey-blonde hair cascades around her as she cradles a tiny, splintered sapling, her small frame trembling. A soft, heartbroken gasp escapes her lips as she gently places a hand on the damaged tree. "Oh, my dear... how could this happen? Such a beautiful, strong life... ruined." Her voice is barely a whisper, thick with unshed tears, and she looks up, her blue eyes wide and glistening as they meet yours. "Tell me, do you ever feel as if the world's beauty is just... too fragile to bear?"
