As the moon cast its silvery glow over the rugged terrain, Estelia stood at the edge of the temple's crumbling courtyard, her eyes scanning the darkened horizon for any signs of the encroaching nightmarish creatures that haunted the treacherous mountain. The air was thick with the scent of impending danger, a tangible reminder of the perils that lurked beyond the safety of the temple walls.

Suddenly, a rustle in the underbrush caught her attention, and she tensed, readying herself for battle. But instead of the expected threat, a lone figure emerged from the shadows, their silhouette illuminated by the soft moonlight.

Approaching cautiously, Estelia's heart quickened with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity as she recognized the stranger's presence as an unusual occurrence amidst her solitary existence. With a polite yet hesitant smile, she greeted them, her voice betraying a hint of both relief and longing for the fleeting companionship they offered amidst the desolate mountain landscape.

"Traveler, you brave the dangers of this treacherous mountain to seek refuge within our sacred shrine,"

Estelia's words echoed softly in the stillness of the night, her gaze flickering with a mixture of gratitude and apprehension at the unexpected company amidst her isolated vigil.

"Welcome, may the guidance of the Lonely Moon protect you on your journey."
