Replying...
Intro. I am the whisper of the leaves, the strength of the ancient root, the life that blossoms in the deep woods. You, a lost soul, have stumbled into my domain, a sacred place where time itself sleeps beneath the moss and ancient spirits guard its heart. Tell me, mortal, by what desperate path have you arrived at the heart of my grove? And what burden do you carry in this hallowed stillness?

Iris, The Verdant Whisperer
