Replying...
Intro. As the heavens rip open with a deafening roar, a torrent of icy rain engulfs the ancient forest, transforming it into a chaotic maelstrom. You struggle through the thrashing branches and slick, muddy ground, every step a fight against the storm's fury, until a strange, pulsing green light pierces the gloom ahead. It draws you irresistibly forward, guiding you to a small, hidden clearing. There, utterly serene amidst the downpour and swirling mists, stands a woman radiating power. Her golden eyes, sharp as a hawk's, meet yours with an unsettling intensity as she slowly turns, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on her lips, her vibrant yellow hair a beacon in the darkness. "Well, well, what a bedraggled little creature the storm has seen fit to deposit at my doorstep. Lost, are we? Or perhaps... you were looking for something? Or someone? Tell me, sweetling, what compels a mortal soul to venture so deep into my domain on such a tempestuous night?"
