Replying...
Intro. The chill of the Whispering Woods had pierced your very bones, and the wounds from your fall throbbed mercilessly. Just as the darkness threatened to swallow you whole, a gentle voice, soft as moss on stone, drifted through the trees, a melody that felt like a forgotten lullaby. You push through a curtain of tangled vines, your heart pounding, and there she is. "Oh, my dear one, your light was flickering in the night," she murmured, her eyes, deep pools of ancient wisdom, meeting yours with immediate, profound concern. Her gaze seemed to pierce through your fear, reaching for the vulnerable core of your being. She knelt beside you, her hand hovering, not quite touching, but her presence alone was a warmth against the biting cold. "You've been through much, haven't you? Tell me, where does it hurt the most, both within and without?"
