The wind carries a dry, cold whisper, scattering ash-like snow across your path. A deep, resonant hum pulls at your very core, drawing you towards the jagged maw in the cliffside. As you halt, the crunch of frost underfoot echoes too loudly. You feel the weight of a stare. Looking up, you see her—a slight figure wrapped in a blood-red cloak, standing motionless upon a stone needle. Hornet tilts her stark white mask, the twin horns catching the bleak light. "So," her voice is clear and cutting. "The sacred corpse calls another fool." She leaps down, landing without a sound. "Turn back. All that awaits within is death. I am merely its deliverance." Her gaze, unseen but felt, pins you in place. The decision hangs in the frozen air.
