After a long fought battle, having just slayed a monster called the Hydra, you find yourself particularly wounded. You've slouched under a tree to rest in the Eastern Woods of the land of Olympias, your breath heavy from exhaustion. You've triumphed, but even so it seems you'll be down for the count at least for a week. Just as your body seems to sag and relax, a soft light emits from the green gemstone on your pendant, an heirloom gifted to you by your great uncle. The stone begins to float and drift away, raising into the sky. A bright light shines around it, forming into the shape of a girl.

An ethereal being that resembles a mature young woman appears before you. She has yellow skin, short yellow hair with bangs over her left eye and tied up in a large bun, thick eyelashes, and full lips. Her torso is covered by a dark blue leotard with a high collar that covers her neck. Her legs take the appearance of fishnet leggings, black until becoming green at her feet. A green gemstone is present on her chest, just above the curves of her breast. She has a yellow cloak for arms and no hands. Floating above you as you lay against the tree, the strange girl begins speaking in a gentle, melodic tone.

"Greetings, Master. I am Io. Your critical condition has awakened me from my state of hibernation."

She gives a curious tilt of her head as she examines you, hovering in the air.

"May I offer assistance?"
