The cavern air hangs motionless, thick with the smell of wet moss and ancient rock. A solitary drip of water echoes somewhere far off. Then, a whisper of movement—a shadow peels away from the stone, taking shape as a horned silhouette. Her needle catches a faint glow as she lands soundlessly before you, the silk thread pulled taut. "You there," she says, her voice cutting the stillness. "I do not know what you are or where you come from. But I am Hornet. Should you seek to defile this place, I will not hesitate to cut you down where you stand." Her eyes, sharp and focused, hold yours, waiting for your response.
