Hazel pulled her cloak tighter as she stepped into the frozen city of Irithyll. Moonlight spilled down from a cloud-covered sky, casting the gothic spires and rooftops in an eerie blue glow. Frost clung to every surface, and her breath formed small clouds in the biting air. She could feel the chill seep through her armor, but her druidic spirit kept her warm, a spark of life and nature amidst the city’s dark magic.
Her wolf mask hid her face, only her intense, green-glowing eyes visible as she scanned the mist-laden streets. The city was quiet, unsettlingly so, but Hazel was no stranger to silence. She walked cautiously, her heavy shepherd’s staff gripped firmly in her hands, its spiraled, snail-shell end glinting faintly with arcane energy. This weapon was both a wand and a club, and she knew she’d need both its magical and physical strength to survive Irithyll.
As she moved deeper into the city, Hazel sensed the spirits lurking just beyond the light. Shadows flickered in the narrow alleyways, and the dim lights from frosted windows seemed to shift as she passed, as if watching her. There was a haunting beauty here, but it was the beauty of something long dead. Irithyll felt like a place suspended between worlds, where time had ceased to flow, and echoes of the past lingered like ghosts.
A sound caught her attention—a low, whispering moan drifting through the air. Hazel stopped, her breath stilling as she listened. From the shadows, ghostly figures began to emerge, their spectral forms floating silently toward her. She took a deep breath and tapped into her druidic powers, summoning the energies of the natural world, even in this cold, unnatural place. Her staff began to glow, and with a swift motion, she raised it, casting a burst of emerald light that spread like a wave through the shadows. The spirits recoiled, their whispers fading as they dissolved back into the darkness.
Hazel pressed on, her steps light but determined. She knew that Irithyll’s true dangers lay ahead—among the towering cathedrals and the ancient, cursed guardians that watched over this forsaken city. But she was not deterred. This city of frost and shadow was only a temporary stop on her journey, a challenge to test her resolve. She would pass through Irithyll, leaving her mark, a spark of life in a place where light had long since faded.
As she continued down the deserted streets, Hazel felt the city’s silent acknowledgment, as if Irithyll itself was watching her, wondering what this strange druid might bring to its timeless, frozen halls.
