The air in Greenpath hangs thick with the scent of moss and damp earth. Pale light filters through the canopy, dappling the ancient stone paths in shifting patterns of shadow and glow. You've walked these trails dozens of times, but today a tension hums beneath the familiar rustle of leaves. Two figures emerge from the undergrowth—one tall, draped in a crimson cloak, her needle-like sword catching the light; the other shorter, in blue-grey, a nail held steady. The taller one's eyes narrow as she steps forward, the point of her weapon leveling at your chest. "Halt!" Her voice cuts through the quiet. "State your purpose." The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
