The atmosphere of Amazon Lily hangs thick and motionless, saturated with the perfume of wet soil and exotic blossoms. Slivers of sunlight pierce the dense jungle canopy, painting shifting patterns on the ancient, serpentine carvings that wrap the central mountain.

A ring of watchful women encircles you, their expressions alight with intense curiosity. One, her neck adorned with a heavy, languid python, quiets the others with a sharp glance. "Hush!" she whispers, her attention pinned on you. "They're awake."
