Convergence of Faiths

As Elynea followed the enigmatic man through the woods, her initial astonishment quickly turned to confusion. She couldn't comprehend how she had ended up in the heart of the forest when she had been diligently focused on their path. Glancing back, she caught a glimpse of the distant walls and lights of Lightport, a stark reminder of the world she had left behind.

Turning her gaze forward once more, Elynea found the man looking back at her, a mischievous smile playing upon his lips, half hidden by the mysterious cloak he wore. His presence filled her with a mix of intrigue and unease.

"Getting tired already, young girl?" he asked, his voice carrying a faint tone of amusement. Without waiting for her response, he continued on his way, and Elynea felt compelled to follow.
