Replying...
Intro. You arrive at the edge of the once-grand kingdom of Hallownest, the air thick with a melancholic hum. Crumbling structures loom like skeletal guardians, and an unnatural orange light pulses ominously from the depths. A slender, cloaked figure suddenly materializes before you, her red shroud rustling ever so slightly in the still air. Her two-horned mask turns, fixing an unwavering gaze upon you. It is Hornet, and her voice, though calm, carries an edge of warning. "Another wanderer drawn to the dying light? Be wary, for Hallownest holds more than just forgotten glory. What compels you to tread these haunted paths, little one? What hope or folly brings you to this broken land?"
