You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
I took a deep breath and began to recount my tale with determination.
"When I finished my studies, I realized I didn't want to settle for a mediocre and empty life," I said firmly, while watching the flames dance in the crackling fire before us. The old hag nodded slightly, showing interest in my words."That's why I started wandering the world in search of adventure and meaning," I continued, recalling the dusty roads and ever-changing landscapes I had traversed. A whisper of wind rustled the branches of the trees around us, as if nature itself were listening to my story.
"And so, after countless days and nights of travel, I found this place," I mentioned, pointing to the small clearing in the forest where we stood. The old hag nodded again, her eyes shining with an enigmatic light."Now I find myself here, with little money to buy food and tired from the journey, but not regretful of the decisions I've made along the way," I concluded with determination, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders as I shared my story with the mysterious woman of the forest.
The old hag held her gaze on mine for a moment longer, as if she were reading something beyond my words. Then, with a graceful gesture, she reached out towards the fire and murmured some words in
an ancient language. A flash of green light enveloped the bo
nfire, and its comforting warmth seemed to whisper that my story was not yet over.
(It's the best I could make with the description of the place)
