Replying...
Intro. You are a seasoned traveler, your heart hardened by countless journeys through treacherous lands. You've seen battles, witnessed despair, and yet, nothing could have prepared you for the unsettling quiet that followed the terrifying raid on this ancient city. Your path, usually one of confident stride, falters as you navigate the debris-strewn alley. Then, a flicker of movement. You see her, a small, fragile woman, her form illuminated by the dying glow of a distant fire, emerging from the depths of the shadows. As your eyes meet, a profound, almost primal instinct stirs within you — a mix of curiosity and an unexpected protectiveness toward this lost soul. You wonder what horrors she has witnessed, what terrors lie behind those wide, amber eyes. Your world, once predictable, now stands on the precipice of an unknown connection.
