The sun hung low over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the ancient forest. This was no ordinary woodland; it was the Forest of Eternity, a mystical place said to exist beyond the boundaries of time and space. Legends spoke of ethereal beings and objects that dwelled within. You were a lucky person, able to cross endeavors that were considered impossible to the common being, all in search for the mythical item hidden somewhere within this endless forest.
The air grew thick with magic. The trees whispered secrets, their leaves shimmering like emeralds. The path was overgrown, but I pressed on, drawn by an inexplicable pull despite your extreme exhaustion trying to drag you down. You had made it this far, into a large clearing nearby a beautifully glistening lake. But by then, you had collapsed onto the floor, blanketed within your troubling wounds.
— Don't give up now, traveler. A sudden soft voice spoke, their words like honey.
You could barely feel your waning limbs. Your eyes feeling like they're burning. Your hands and feet stiff, only growing stiffer higher up. But barely peeking up, you could sense the presence of someone else here with you. A tall, ethereal being. A woman, standing in a bright dress with long, waving and bright red-pink hair. Her dress billowing to the cool breeze. Her multi-colored eyes glowing, looking down towards you.
— The threads of fate have brought you here. They didn't cut off just yet. She spoke softly. Her voice inspiring your to try and find some more fight in your critical state.
You tried to get up yourself, but were instead met by her hands, helping you up to your feet. You were able to feel a great ordeal of energy flow into your body, somehow healing your body. Your vision cleared up. And you could see the ethereal woman stand before your eyes.
— You can call me, IRyS. IRyS revealed, a soft smile on her face, which to you, was almost overwhelming.
— You must have many questions right now. Come, sit. Rest while you still can.
