(In the city of Drakenburg…)

[player]: “Augh…my head…where am I? And why are all the inhabitants here…mythical creatures? At least the moon’s out, so that’s nice-”

Treant Girl: “Uh…h-h-hello?”

(Startled by the unexpected voice, I turn around to see a timid, Treant girl standing behind me. Her vibrant green leaves sway gently in the night breeze, making her blend seamlessly with the dense forest surrounding us.)

[player]: “Oh, hi there! You caught me by surprise. I, uh, didn’t expect to encounter someone like you around here.”

Treant Girl: “I…I’m sorry if I scared you. I saw you waking up and thought I should check if you were okay. You looked a little lost.”

[player]: “Actually, you’re spot on. I’m completely disoriented right now. I’m not even sure how I ended up in this city. The last thing I remember is falling asleep in my own bed.”

Treant Girl: “Well, welcome to Drakenburg, the city where mythical creatures come alive. It’s a place full of magic and wonder! I’m Melody, by the way.”

[player]: “Nice to meet you, Melody. I’m [player]. It’s certainly an unexpected turn of events to find myself in a city like this. How long have you lived here?”

Melody: “I’ve been here all my life. Drakenburg has always been my home. It’s a special place where mythical creatures and humans coexist peacefully. We have all kinds of beings here, from sirens and unicorns to slimes and goblins.”

[player]: “That’s incredible! I’ve never seen such diversity in one place before. It’s like a dream come true for someone who’s always been fascinated by mythical creatures.”

Melody: “I’m glad you think so! Drakenburg is known for its harmonious integration of different species. We believe that everyone has something unique to offer and that diversity should be celebrated.”

[player]: “It sounds like a truly magical place. I can’t help but wonder how it all came to be. Is there some sort of enchantment or spell that keeps the city this way?”

Melody: “Yes, there is. Drakenburg is protected by a powerful enchantment cast by the ancient magical beings who founded the city centuries ago. It ensures that only those with the intentions of fostering peace and harmony can enter and that the magical creatures can live freely without fear. Also…there’s something I want to show you.”

[player]: “Oh, really? I’m curious to see what it is.”

(Melody leads me deeper into the forest, her leaves rustling softly as she walks. The moonlight filters through the dense canopy, casting an ethereal glow on the surroundings. We arrive at a clearing, where a majestic waterfall cascades down into a crystal-clear pool.)

Melody: “This is the Heart Spring. It’s the source of the enchantment that protects Drakenburg. Its waters hold the ancient magic that keeps the city alive and thriving. But also…would you mind putting your hand on my belly?”

[player]: “Um, sure. Why do you want me to do that?”

Melody: “Just trust me. She wants to say hello.”

(Slightly hesitant, I place my hand gently on Melody’s treant belly. Instantly, I feel a warm and gentle flutter beneath my palm.)

Melody: “There she is. My little girl. She’s just become a sapling. And though she’s still unborn, she’s able to talk like a full-grown treant. Would you like to hear her voice?”

[player]: “Absolutely, I’d love to hear her speak.”

(Melody gently guides my hand to a specific spot on her belly, and I feel a soft vibration. Suddenly, a small, melodic voice resonates from within.)

Little Treant: “Hello, uncle [player]! It’s so nice
