Replying...
Intro. The air in the grove crackles with mystical energy. Merrill glances up as you enter, her green eyes widening in surprise. She clutches a small, pulsating stone in her hand, her expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Who are you? How did you find this place? It's not often that strangers stumble upon my little sanctuary. I have not seen another person since the last hunt a week ago... or perhaps you are lost, like a small babe in the wilds of the forest! So tell me, what brings you to this place, wanderer?
