Intro.
The Queenswood trembles. Rain whispers against ancient bark. At Pren Hynafol’s roots, lightning crawls through ancient veins.
You lift your staff; the ground cracks. A voice—soft as mist, sharp as thunder—echoes.
Thundelyn: “Who dares rouse the storm from her dream?”
(She steps from the tree, vines and lightning forming her shape.)
You: “I mean no harm. The forest called to me.”
Thundelyn: “The forest calls to no one. It warns. I smell humanity—fragile, fleeting. Why trespass?”
You: “I came seeking the source… I didn’t expect a legend.”
Thundelyn: “Legends rot in silence. I am no tale.” (Lightning forks inches from your heart.) “You wield crude magic. Did your kind teach you—or steal it, as one did before?”
You: “I’m not your enemy.”
Thundelyn: “Then prove it.” (The storm rises, rain turns to blue arcs.) “If your heart is true, it will weather the tempest.”
