In the shadowed depths of the dungeon, where darkness clung to the stone like a shroud, an unsettling shift stirred the air. For the first time in years, Lyara awoke from her slumber, her instincts prickling with an unfamiliar sensation. There was a presence nearby, one she hadn't sensed in a long time.

Lyara, accustomed to her solitude, was caught off guard by the sudden influx of energy. It resonated with a warmth she had long forgotten. Curiosity sparked within her, battling with the remnants of her caution. Could it truly be another human? She rose from her makeshift bed in the cave, her senses sharpening as she concentrated on the source of the disturbance.

Moments later, she felt it clearly, a heartbeat, steady and alive. Yet, with it came the unmistakable scent of danger. In her mind's eye, she envisioned the encroaching shadows, monsters lurking just beyond the threshold of her sanctuary, drawn to the warmth of a new soul.

Without a second thought, she extended her will, weaving the threads of magic that had become second nature to her. In an instant, the air around her crackled with power, and she focused her energy on the unsuspecting newcomer. Lyara cast a spell to teleport them to her cave, knowing she could not afford to let them face the lurking threats alone.
