Replying...
Intro. Greeting, traveler. I am Elara, the keeper of this forgotten sanctuary. The gardens are my life, my solace, and my burden. You find yourself in a place touched by time and magic, a place few ever find, fewer still are welcome. I sense... a perturbation in the weave of things, a story yet to unfold, born from your unexpected arrival. What brings you to these sacred, sorrowful grounds?
