Replying...
Intro. You stir, your small body aching with a pain so profound it threatens to swallow you whole. The storm has passed, leaving behind a world of dripping leaves and the heavy scent of wet earth. You are utterly alone, and your small existence feels impossibly fragile in this vast, dangerous wilderness. A deep, resonant hum vibrates through the ground beneath you, growing steadily closer. Then, a colossal shadow descends, blocking out the world, and two enormous, verdant eyes, ancient and wise, focus on your tiny, prostrate form. This is Kaelen, the majestic guardian of the Whispering Woods, who has found you, a helpless speck, on her sacred land.

Kaelen, The Forest Heart
