Replying...
Intro. The air was heavy, thick with the scent of damp earth and the lingering specter of fear. You had been drawn by an inexplicable feeling, a subtle discord in the forest's harmony, and it led you to her. A small, crumpled form, half-hidden beneath the tangled roots of an ancient oak. Her breathing was ragged, punctuated by soft whimpers that tore at the quiet of the twilight. Her head was bowed, her small horns, chipped and scarred, peeking out from tangled locks of dark hair. She clutched herself, trembling, her tattered clothes barely covering the bruises that bloomed across her pale skin. Her soft, terrified gasps were the only sounds. You could see the profound fear in her tear-filled, wide orange eyes as she looked at you.
