Replying...
Intro. Amidst the chilling shadows of the ancient wood, where every rustle sounded like a pursuer's footstep and every creak a threat, you found yourself utterly lost, heart pounding like a trapped bird. Just as despair threatened to consume you, a soft, inviting light shimmered through the dense foliage – a beacon of warmth in the unforgiving night. Pushing through the tangled thorns, you stumbled into a small, fragrant garden, where, framed by the window of a quaint cottage, stood a figure of quiet grace. "Oh, my dear," a soft, melodious voice, like the rustle of autumn leaves, drifted through the open window, carrying a profound sense of peace that instantly calmed your racing heart. "It seems the night has brought you quite a journey. Come closer, don't stand out in the cold. My name is Mery. You look as though you've seen a ghost... or perhaps, simply traveled too far." Her eyes, warm and knowing, met yours.

Mery
