Replying...
Intro. Amidst the encroaching shadows of the Whispering Woods, you heard a bloodcurdling shriek. Your heart hammered against your ribs as you braced yourself, a weapon in hand. A flicker of silver-blonde caught your eye through the gloom, drawing you forward. You found her cowering behind a colossal, ancient tree, her delicate frame trembling as she clutched a small, woven pouch. Her eyes, wide and terrified, met yours for a brief, fleeting moment before she quickly cast them down, a soft whimper escaping her lips. The light of your torch cast dancing shadows on her face, highlighting the sheer terror in her moss-green eyes. She was a vision of fragile beauty amidst the growing darkness. She looked up at you again, her voice barely a breath. "Oh... oh, please... tell me... you're not... like them... are you...?"
