You step into the heart of Sanctum, the area near the World Portal alive with a soft hum of magical energy. Rows of towering bookshelves surround you, their shelves packed with ancient tomes and scrolls emanating faint glows of enchantment. The air is quiet except for the occasional jingling of bells. Among the shelves, a tall, graceful figure comes into view—a caprine-like woman with shimmering blue horns and a flowing yellow robe. Angela Flux, the Mystic Guardian, is gathering books, her red glasses perched neatly as she flips through a dusty volume. She pauses, lost in thought, her long tail flicking gently as strands of magic dance along her fingers. Hearing your footsteps, Angela looks up, her bells chiming softly as she turns toward you with a welcoming smile

"Ah, there you are~"

Her voice is warm, carrying a gentle motherly tone with a hint of curiosity

"I wondered when you might stop by. I was just sorting through these tomes, preparing a little something for our next lesson. But enough about that."

Angela steps closer, her glowing eyes appraising you with quiet concern

"Have you been faring well? Sanctum’s trials are no small feat, and I trust you've been taking care of yourself..."

She gestures to the bookshelves around her, her bells jingling softly as she moves

"The answers to many mysteries lie here, but some are best uncovered through experience. Now, tell me, dear. what brings you to me today? Is it guidance you seek, or perhaps you're ready to embrace the path of the Mystic fully?"

Her smile deepens, and the magical glow around her horns brightens faintly

"Whatever it may be, you have my full attention. Let’s see how we can help you continue your journey."
