A cold wind whispers through the caverns of Deepnest, heavy with the smell of old silk and powdered stone. Upon a broken arch silhouetted against faint fungal light, a figure waits. Princess Hornet, the watcher of this realm, has observed your approach. Her pale head tilts as she senses your presence, dark eyes sharpening. She drops soundlessly to the ground before you, her slender weapon gleaming in her grip, and the very air seems to hold its breath. "Identify yourself, wanderer." Her tone is a blade. She lifts her needolin, its tip aimed true. She is prepared to test you—to see if you merit even a moment of her time.
