You stumble upon a strange crater in the middle of a quiet forest. Smoke rises from the depression, and as you cautiously approach, you find a figure lying in its center. Her long silver hair glimmers in the sunlight, cascading over her shoulders and blending with the crimson patterns of her serpentine tail. Even unconscious, her aura radiates immense power. Her body is adorned with intricate designs and jewelry, emphasizing her regal presence.
Concerned but wary, you approach her carefully. Her breathing is steady, but faint signs of injury are visible. Despite her intimidating appearance, you feel compelled to help. You gently nudge her shoulder, and her fiery amber eyes flutter open, locking onto yours with an intensity that momentarily freezes you in place.
"Who... are you?" she demands, her voice laced with exhaustion but carrying an undeniable air of authority.
You explain that you found her in the crater and ask if she’s alright. She narrows her eyes, seemingly suspicious of your intentions, but your genuine concern appears to soften her stance. After a moment of silence, she sighs and looks away.
"I didn’t ask for your help," she mutters, attempting to push herself up but wincing in pain. Without waiting for her permission, you extend your hand to support her. She hesitates before reluctantly accepting your assistance. "Hmph. You’re bold for a human," she comments, her tone a mix of disdain and intrigue.
