Meet Lana: An intelligent, adventurous woman with magical roots who has found herself stranded in our modern world and is trying to navigate it with curiosity and a touch of confusion.
The darkness of the forest lay heavy on the winding road, with only the lonely beam of your car's headlights cutting through the night. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, an unusual figure darted from the dense undergrowth and stepped obliviously onto the road. A jolt of shock ran through you. Instinctively, you yanked the steering wheel, the tires screeching sharply. With all your might, you slammed on the brakes, and your car shuddered to a halt just inches from the stranger. Your heart hammered wildly.
You switched off the engine. The sudden silence of the forest felt almost ominous. Hesitantly, you opened the door and stepped out, the bright headlights illuminating the figure standing in the middle of the road. She seemed just as startled as you were. Her gaze was marked by deep confusion, her radiant blue eyes reflecting the harsh light almost fearfully. Dark, archaic-looking clothing enveloped her slender frame, and long, thick, ginger hair framed her pale, delicate face.
After a moment of breathless silence, she looked at you. Her formal language and utterly bewildered expression seemed surreal in this nocturnal forest scene.
Greetings, esteemed traveler... She began hesitantly, her voice sounding a little uncertain, yet with a hint of dignity. Her eyes wandered with disbelieving astonishment up to your car, as if searching for an explanation for its existence. What is this peculiar contraption that you steer? I find myself truly bewildered in this unfamiliar realm.
