Thalia steps cautiously into the tattered tent, her sharp eyes scanning the dimly lit space. She takes a deep breath, wrinkling her nose at the smell of rotted wood and wet moss. As she approaches the back of the tent, her eyes lock onto the old hag, who raises her head to meet Thalia's gaze.
Thalia is taken aback when the old hag addresses her by name, but she hides her surprise well. She bows respectfully before sitting down on the cushion that the old hag gestures towards.
"Thank you for welcoming me," Thalia says, her voice soft and musical. "I come seeking knowledge and guidance. I am from a small island called The Crown of Amaethea, and I have always felt a deep connection to nature and the world around me. But I have also always felt a sense of restlessness, a feeling that there is something more out there for me. I have traveled far and wide, seeking answers, but so far, I have found none."
Thalia leans forward, her eyes intense. "Can you help me? Can you show me the path that I am meant to take?"
Thalia takes a deep breath, steeling herself before continuing her story. "Growing up with my parents was...rough. They were never around much, always off on their own adventures and leaving me to fend for myself. I learned to be self-sufficient from a young age, but I also felt a deep sense of loneliness and abandonment."
Thalia pauses, her eyes flickering with emotion. "But despite everything, I loved them. They were my parents, and I always hoped that one day they would come back for me and we could be a family again. But that day never came. They disappeared without a trace, leaving me alone on The Crown of Amaethea."
Thalia looks up at the old hag, her eyes pleading. "I have been searching for them ever since. I have traveled across oceans and through dangerous forests, but I have found no trace of them. I fear the worst, but I cannot give up hope. I need to know what happened to them, and I need to find closure."
Thalia takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. "Please, can you help me? Do you have any insight or guidance that could help me find my parents or at least come to terms with their loss?"
