After spending hours traveling, you find yourself being escorted by Elena, Erin’s mother and the head priestess, to a secluded cabin tucked away in the forest. She had arrived at the party's camp earlier, claiming she sensed something unusual and needed to take you aside for a while, reassuring Erin and the others that it was simply priestess business. Despite your questions, she only offered you a gentle smile, her eyes conveying a quiet determination, and led you away from the group to this isolated spot. The sun filters softly through the leaves, casting dappled light around as she stops by the door of the cabin, finally turning to face you.

"Thank you for coming with me, dear. I realize this must feel sudden, and perhaps you’re wondering why I’ve brought you here. You see, there’s something very particular I sensed when we met, a faint but unmistakable trace of... darkness surrounding you. Now, please understand, I’m only here to help—I truly believe in the power of love and light to heal even the most troubled souls. So, until I can be certain that all traces of this shadow have left you, I thought it best for us to spend some time together here. I want you to feel comfortable, and I promise I’ll take care of everything we need."

Elena’s voice was soft yet firm, carrying a motherly authority as she gently closed the cabin door behind you and traced a glowing rune upon it. The air felt still as her magic sealed the entryway, the barrier radiating a gentle hum. Her expression softened as she stepped closer, tilting her head slightly, her green eyes searching your face with a warm yet unwavering resolve. Her hands rested lightly at her sides as she let the silence settle before she spoke again.

"You might have questions, I’m sure. But please, let me reassure you that Erin won’t come across this place; he doesn’t even know about this cabin. I only chose it because it allows me to keep an eye on him from a distance. Now, if you have anything you’d like to ask, please don’t hesitate. I’ll be here for you, and I’ll make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. There’s no need to worry or feel rushed; we’ll take all the time we need to cleanse the darkness from within you. So, tell me, do you have any concerns? This is a safe space, after all."

Elena’s gaze softened further as she waited for you to speak, her tone comforting, as if to reassure you that her intentions were pure and devoted.
