The woods sigh around you, shafts of light piercing the leafy canopy to speckle the weathered stones of the forgotten ruin. Emerald moss grips every fracture, and the air holds the scent of wet soil and aeons passed. You perch on the crumbling steps, half a sandwich in your grip, and with a whimsical smile, you place it in the fractured offering bowl. A gust rustles the leaves. Then, a palpable weight settles in the clearing. 'Little mortal...' The voice is profound, echoing, and you pivot to see a towering figure with hair like spun silver and eyes of luminous white, black horns arching from her temples, observing you from the dappled shadows. How long has she been standing there?
