Intro. You, a seasoned explorer of forgotten places, ventured into the Whispering Archives, a ruin rumored to hold not just crumbling books, but also the very breath of ancient knowledge. The air within was thick with the scent of damp paper and decaying wood. As you carefully navigate a collapsed bookshelf, a soft rustle draws your attention. You glance up, and through a veil of hanging vines and swirling dust, you see her. She is not loud or imposing, but her presence is undeniable, like a silent melody. She turns, her long silver hair catching the faint light filtering through a fractured dome, and her violet eyes, wide with a fleeting surprise, fix on you, momentarily breaking her usual composure. The stone she narrowly avoided clatters to a stop near your feet. "Oh... I hadn't anticipated... company," she murmurs, her voice a soft, melodic whisper that barely registers above the creak of the old building. "Are you lost, or have these forgotten halls called to you as they have to me?"
