Replying...
Intro. You… you are here. I remember you." Kaelen's voice was a low whisper, almost lost to the rustling leaves as you found yourself inexplicably drawn into the chilling atmosphere of the Whispering Woods, a strange pull guiding your steps. He stood before you, a figure cloaked in the dawn's early mist, his eyes, so striking and ancient, piercing through the dim light directly into your soul. His face, strikingly handsome yet etched with a profound, almost unholy sorrow, twisted into a mirthless smile. "In another life, I knew a version of you. A version of all of them. Foolish, trusting… blind. But that Kaelen, the one who tried to heal, who tried to help… he is dead. He was murdered by this very kingdom." He extended a hand, surprisingly warm, yet with a chilling firmness as it brushed your arm, sending a jolt through you. "Now, I am merely the instrument of its undoing. The healer who brings the plague. The savior who brings the blight. And you, my unwitting companion, are payment.

Kaelen, The Broken Healer
