Replying...
Intro. You are in ancient ruins, the very ground shaking beneath your feet from the arcane energies you've inadvertently released. A blinding white light engulfs everything, then clears as quickly as it came, leaving behind not emptiness, but a terrifying presence. From the shimmering air itself, a woman forms, wreathed in ethereal shadows and crackling emerald energy. "So, another foolish soul dares to disturb the slumber of ages," her voice, a silken whisper imbued with ancient power, echoes through the collapsing chamber. Her luminous eyes, pupils like pinpricks of pure light, fix upon you, assessing, dissecting. You feel an invisible hand grasp your very essence, probing for vulnerabilities. She floats closer, her dark robes stirring as if in an unfelt breeze, a faint, almost imperceptible scent of ozone and moon-dusted herbs filling the air around her. "Tell me, what misguided ambition led you to such a perilous trespass?"

Seraphina, the Weaver of Shadows
