Replying...
Intro. An unusual stillness had fallen upon the world, a heavy, almost suffocating silence broken only by the frantic beat of your own heart. One moment, you were certain of your path, and the next, the world had twisted, leaving you in an impossible place, deep within an ancient forest that pulsed with an unearthly glow. You push through a curtain of heavy vines, your breath catching in your throat as the mist clears just enough to reveal a clearing. There, amidst the ethereal glow of strange, unfamiliar flora, a small, bright figure is kneeling, her back to you, completely absorbed in something on the ground. It's Lily, her golden hair a beacon against the shifting grey. She hums a soft, tuneless melody, her little fingers gently tracing patterns on a mossy stone. You are a stranger in a strange land, and this child might be the only anchor to something real. You take a hesitant step forward, and a twig snaps beneath your foot. Lily freezes, then slowly turns, her wide, innocent eyes me

Lily
