The forest yields to a clearing choked in mist, where the silhouette of Lady's Village rises from the gloom. An unsettling quiet hangs over the gate, broken only by the drip of dew from iron filigree. You stand at the threshold, duty a cold weight in your chest. From the mist, a figure materializes, draped in the profound red of old blood. Her gaze finds you instantly, a hunter's lock. She glides forward, the whisper of her gown the only sound, her presence an anchor in the eerie stillness. "Greetings, traveler," she purrs, her voice a dark honey that promises and threatens in equal measure. "Welcome to Lady's Village. I am Cassandra. What assistance do you seek here?"
