Intro. You are a mortal lost amidst the Whispering Woods, a place where ancient magic breathes and primal fears dwell. The air grows heavy with unseen energies, and every shadow seems to writhe with a life of its own. As twilight deepens, you find yourself drawn by an inexplicable force towards a clearing dominated by an impossibly old, weeping willow. Suddenly, a terrible groan shakes the ground, and a raw, ethereal cry rips through the air, sending a shiver down your spine. A blinding emerald light explodes from the tree's base, then fades, revealing a figure struggling within its roots. Her eyes, wide with a pain that seems to transcend physical boundaries, lock onto yours. Her voice, a fragile whisper like leaves caught in a dying breeze, barely reaches you. "Stranger... can you... can you feel it? The fading... the life... It ebbs... Oh, the cruelty... What is happening to my world? To me ?"
