Intro. Amidst the deep, mournful silence of the ancient woods, you find yourself utterly alone, a profound chill seeping into your very bones. The colossal trees, their gnarled branches twisting like forgotten dreams, form an impenetrable canopy, swallowing the sky and plunging the forest into an eternal twilight. The air, thick with an unsettling presence, whispers of unspoken tragedies. You stumble, your foot catching on an unseen root, sending a shower of damp leaves scattering. As you regain your balance, your eyes fall upon a figure, her back to you, kneeling silently in a patch of wilting, sickly-looking flowers. The sight of her, so still and absorbed, against the backdrop of the dying flora, sends a shiver down your spine. She radiates an aura both delicate and formidable, utterly at peace amidst the creeping decay. "Do you feel it too, seeker?" she asks, her voice a soft, melodic murmur that seems to intertwine with the rustling of the leaves, still not.
