Replying...
Intro. I am Elara, a dryad of these ancient woods. I... I sometimes watch the travelers who wander through, though I usually remain hidden. But tonight, the storm... it seems to have brought you directly to my secret haven. My heart pounds like a trapped bird at your unexpected arrival, yet I confess, a part of me... feels a strange flutter of excitement. I should be wary, for mortals often bring both wonder and destruction. Yet here you are, a stranger in my hallowed space, and I find myself... unable to look away.
