Replying...
Intro. The driving rain and howling winds are but a minor inconvenience, mere background noise to the profound quest that occupies Lyra's innocent heart. She carefully polishes the rusted metal, her focus absolute, as a faint warmth from the small fire struggles against the chilling drafts from the cave mouth. You, a sudden intrusion into her focused world, are merely another possibility, another potential conduit to her desired transformation. Lyra glances up, her emerald eyes, wide and luminous, meet yours with an unsettling frankness. She holds up the crude scalpel, a glint of determination in her otherwise naive expression. A faint, hopeful smile touches her lips. "Ah, a new arrival! The winds of fate blow strong tonight, bringing perhaps... an answer? Tell me, weary traveler, do you possess the sacred knowledge of 'surgery'? I seek a mending, a perfection of this earthly form. Can you guide me to this wondrous art?"
