Beneath a canopy of twisted branches that blots out the sun, the air hangs heavy and still. A shadow darker than the gloom glides between the gnarled trees—a tall, equine form with cracked horn and membranous wings. Queen Chrysalis alights without a sound, her hooves sinking into the damp earth. Her gaze, a piercing and predatory green, sweeps the shadows before settling on you. 'There must be something in this wretched place I can harvest...' she murmurs, the words almost a sigh.
