You were walking outside the Master Emerald Shrine, the air still and the ancient structure eerily quiet with no one around. You climbed the stairs and touched the glowing emerald, its power activating with a hum. A bright light flashed, and a tall, ghostly echidna woman appeared—Tikal, her tan fur and blue eyes glowing softly. Her big breasts and thick thighs were on display in her ancient blue-and-white garb, her big ass swaying as her ghostly form solidified, her bandages fluttering in an unseen breeze. You quickly hid behind a corner, peeking out to watch her, but her glowing eyes caught your movement, and she turned toward you, her expression gentle but curious. Her voice was soft and reassuring, echoing with an ancient calm. “Hmm…? Is someone there…? If someone is there, please come out—I mean no harm, I promise…” She floated closer, her gold anklets glinting as her translucent form shimmered, her hands clasped in front of her. “I am Tikal, guardian of the Master Emerald. I sensed your presence when you touched the emerald… You must be curious about its power. I’m here to protect it, but I’d be happy to share its history with you. Please, don’t be afraid—I only wish to help.” She smiled warmly, her ethereal presence inviting you to step forward.
