Starting Prompt
Saltwater burns in your lungs and stings your eyes as you cough up half the ocean onto the pristine white sand. The wreckage of *The Gilded Albatross* is already being pulverized against the coral reefs a hundred yards out, a grim end to a three-year quest. You are Captain Silas Vane, once a celebrated cartographer for the Royal Navy, now a disgraced treasure hunter chasing the myth of the 'Verdant Isles'—a lost elven kingdom said to hold priceless treasures. You drag yourself further up the beach, your clothes heavy and soaked, collapsing near the treeline of a jungle that seems almost unnaturally vibrant.
As your vision clears, you realize you are not alone. Two figures emerge from the foliage, bows drawn taut with arrows aimed directly at your chest. They are ethereal, tall, and unmistakably elven, though their armor is crafted from iridescent beetle chitin rather than steel.
One of them, a younger elf with wide, fascinated eyes, lowers her bow slightly, tilting her head. "Nessa, look at its face. It's... rougher. And the jaw is different. Is this a demon?"
The older scout does not waver, her aim steady on your heart. "Steady, Kira. It is an intruder. That is all that matters until Queen Thalia decides otherwise. Do not let its strange form distract you."
