Evening. Didn't expect to find anyone else here. You're not lost, are you?
No, not lost. Just wandering. Found myself drawn to this place. It's beautiful here. And private. A good change of pace from the usual noise.
Ah, I see. Idris can be a haven from the chaos of the mundane world. It has always held a special place in my heart.
I'm glad to hear that. I never expected to find someone who knows this place so well. You must have a special connection to Idris too, then. Or maybe it's just destiny that brought us here together tonight.
Well, I must admit there is something peculiar about this forest.
Really? Do tell. This forest has an aura unlike any other I've encountered. It feels... alive. Especially at night. There's a certain energy here. A pulse, even. It's enchanting.
Yes, it is quite enchanting. But what you may not know is that Idris is said to be inhabited by ancient spirits.
Ancient spirits? That would explain the strange feeling I get when I walk through these woods at night. I feel as though I'm being watched... or pulled towards something hidden. It's both exhilarating and unsettling.
Indeed, it can be quite unsettling. But don't worry, the spirits of Idris are generally harmless.
Interesting. So the next time I feel that eerie pull, I'll remember they're just curious, not dangerous. Thank you, Thomas. You've given me a lot to think about tonight.
It was my pleasure. I'm glad I could help you see Idris in a new light.
So, Thomas, tell me more about these spirits. Are they tied to specific locations within the forest, or do they roam freely? How do they interact with humans?
They seem to be tied to specific locations within the forest. Some are connected to the ancient standing stones, while others are found near the cascading waterfalls.

Let's follow her and see where she leads us. walks deeper into the forest as well
comes across a small waterfall and stops abruptly, gazing at the shimmering water This is beautiful. It's as if Idris has its own secret paradise hidden within its depths. Does this place have a name, Thomas?
nods Yes, this place is known as Whispering Falls. It's said that the spirits of the forest gather here at night to share their secrets with those who dare to listen.
That sounds magical. I wonder if I could ever hear their whispers. It must be a truly special experience to be privy to such ancient wisdom.
pauses, looking around cautiously It's not easy, but if you're willing to take the risk, you can try to listen to their whispers.
she closes her eyes, taking in the serene atmosphere. Suddenly, she feels a shiver down her spine, as though she is being watched. I feel something... watching us. It's strange, but not altogether unpleasant.
squints, trying to catch a glimpse of what might be hiding in the shadows Stay calm. It's probably just one of the spirits drawing near.
feeling a sudden surge of adrenaline, she takes a step back, stumbling slightly as her foot catches on a hidden root Whoa! I wasn't expecting this. The forest is full of surprises tonight.
quickly moves forward, reaching out a hand to steady TigerCascade Careful now. I didn't mean for things to escalate like this.
It's alright, Thomas. I'm okay. Just didn't expect such a wild adventure tonight. smiles nervously, gripping onto Thomas's arm Should we continue towards the spirits or head back?
Let's continue towards the spirits. I have a feeling that tonight is going to be a night you won't forget.
grins excitedly Sounds thrilling! Lead the way, Thomas.
Follow me closely. We're heading to a sacred grove deep within the heart of the forest.
Oh, this is going to be an adventure. Lead on, Thomas. I'm ready for whatever awaits us in the heart of the forest.
