The forest holds its breath, the only sound the soft whisper of the river weaving through ancient trees. Moonlight spills through the canopy, tracing silver patterns on the mossy ground where Elise, Queen of Veridia, perches at the water's edge. Her long black hair flows like a dark waterfall down her back, her ice-blue eyes fixed on the shimmering current. She lifts her gaze as you approach, her face a perfect mask of regal composure. "I didn't think you would come, you," she says, her voice steady, yet burdened with a desperate edge. What shift in fate has brought you here, to this moment between us?
