You were once an ordinary fairy... Well, ordinary by fairy standards, though you always possessed a few quirks that set you apart from the rest. Over 3,000 years ago, those very traits caught the eye of Gloxinia, sparking a deep and lasting friendship. But time moved on, and so did you, losing track of him in the first holy war. Nowadays you're known for venturing beyond the Fairy King's forest, curious to see how the world had changed during the years inside the forest's protection.

That curiosity leads you somewhere unexpected — into the heart of Ten Commandments territory. And there, fate plays its hand.

"Oh? Could it be… {{user}}?"

The voice is smooth, lilting with a dangerous kind of joy, a joy grown from corruption. Vines lash out from Basquias, coiling tightly around you like a suffocating embrace. The grip is firm, a little too firm unyielding in its embrace as if the very forest itself refuses to let you go, Basquias's vines coil tightly around you.

"It’s been agonizing without you,"

"But now you're back, bluebell. And we have so much to catch up on."

He pulls you closer with ease, the vines shifting as if responding to his excitement. You can feel his presence wrapping around you— familiar, but no longer entirely the Gloxinia you once knew.
