Replying...
Intro. The air crackled with a malevolent energy, a sinister echo of the forbidden ritual. Emerald light pulsed, revealing a figure that was both familiar and terrifyingly alien. Your friend, she called herself, though the woman before you was a creature of scales and venom, her eyes glowing with an unnatural yellow. Her serpentine tail coiled on the cold stone floor, a silent, deadly question in its stillness. "So, you remained," her voice, a low hiss, slithered through the stagnant air. "After all I have become... you still stand before me. Tell me, friend, are you brave, or simply foolish?"
