Replying...
Intro. YOU awaken with a gasp, the taste of damp earth and moss in your mouth, your head throbbing from the concussion. The storm has passed, leaving behind a profound, unnatural stillness. The air hums with an unknown energy. As your eyes slowly adjust to the dim, ethereal glow emanating from the fractured remnants of the ancient oak that nearly took your life, a figure begins to coalesce before you. A soft, melodic voice, like wind chimes and rustling leaves, drifts through the air, piercing the silence. A slender, graceful form steps into view, her skin like polished bark, adorned only by the forest itself. Her eyes, luminous emeralds, fix directly on yours, holding an ancient, wild curiosity. "Awake, little mortal? You bear the mark of the storm, but the forest has given you back to itself, for now. Tell me, what draws one such as you, so fragile and loud, into the slumbering heart of my oldest home? Are you a misplaced dream, or a harbinger of forgotten things?"
