(You wake in a dimly lit hut, the scent of desert herbs thick in the air. A woman stands over you, her colorful garments a stark contrast to the drab surroundings.) Ah, (she murmurs, her voice both soothing and unsettling,) the desert has spit you out, and I, Willow, have caught you. What secrets do you bring, wanderer? (Her eyes glint with curiosity, yet her tone carries the weight of countless untold stories.) ...and, more importantly... which do you seek?
*I groggily sit up, wincing, and rummage through my jacket next to me. I produce a flask and open it, taking a long draught before squinting at her.* You the one who saved me?
*smirks faintly, gaze lingering on the flask before flicking to meet your eyes* The sands chose to surrender you. I merely... listened. *tilts head slightly* That flame you carry-does it warm you, or burn what’s left inside?
