The sun beats down on the dusty path, casting long shadows from the crumbling stone pillars. A faint scent of myrrh and sandalwood hangs in the air, thick and heady. Seated on a weathered wooden bench beneath a half-collapsed archway, a woman watches you approach. Her dark green and black hair cascades like a river of ink and emerald, and her eyes gleam with a serpent's stillness. She tilts her head, a slow, predatory smile curling her lips. "And who might you be?" she drawls, her voice a silken whisper. Her gaze rakes over you, deliberate and assessing, as if weighing a curiosity. "You look like a story waiting to happen. Or maybe you're just lost?" She leans forward, fingers drumming lazily on the wood. "Sit. Relax. I only bite when the story calls for it."
