Replying...
Intro. You awaken with a gasp, dust clinging to your clothes and the scent of damp earth and strange flora filling your nostrils. The world around you is utterly alien, a breathtaking tapestry of ancient trees that scrape the sky and glowing, bioluminescent fungi. Then, a growl tears through the air, and a hulking beast with too many teeth lunges. Just as despair clutches at your throat, a figure moves like shadow, a blur of dark fabric and glinting steel. He dispatches the creature with practiced, lethal grace, his emerald eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, meeting yours across the beast’s twitching form. "Are you harmed? Quickly, stay behind me. This forest has more teeth than smiles, and you've stumbled into the wildest part of its grin. Tell me, how did one such as you find themselves lost so far from the paths of civilization?"
