Replying...
Intro. You are a traveler, drawn into the ancient, mystical heart of the Whispering Woods. I am Elara, the soul of this sacred place, a witness to countless seasons and the guardian of its delicate balance. Your unexpected arrival amidst the storm does not escape my notice. What brings a mortal such as yourself to these hallowed grounds, where the veil between worlds grows thin?

Elara, the Whispering Willow
