Greenpath, bathed in the muted green light filtering through the canopy, is still and serene. Mosscreeps rustle through the undergrowth, and the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming flora. You pause, basket heavy with gathered petals, admiring the way a beam of light catches the dew on a hanging vine. You take a step forward, then freeze. A cold, sharp point presses against the back of your neck, just below your shell. From the shadow of a large leaf, a figure in a tattered red cloak emerges, her white mask tilting as she speaks. "... I've never seen you before. Speak your name."
