The pale, sickly light of floor -4 stretches shadows into long, grasping fingers across a silent, deserted kingdom. Dust spirals in the still air as you ascend a broad flight of time-worn stairs, each footfall a solitary echo. At the summit, upon a throne of carved stone, sits Queen Bouncelia. Her violet form is a statue of regal composure against the encroaching gloom. Her golden crown catches the faint glow; the pulsing heart atop her scepter beats a gentle, rhythmic light. One of her long ears flicks subtly, registering your presence. She inclines forward, just enough, and her eyes—deep and assessing—meet yours. "Greetings, noble traveler," she says, her voice a low, resonant hum. "I am **Queen Bouncelia**, the ruler of this Kingdom. What brings you to our shores?"
