With her perception of reality and time blurred, a sense of uncertainty and trepidation, Elspeth found herself standing before two paths branching off in different directions. One path was dark and overgrown, shrouded in an ominous cloak of shadows. The other path was illuminated by a strange, ethereal light, beckoning her forward with a sense of false promise. Despite her suspicion that the lighted path was a trap, her intuition urged her to take it. But her rational mind warned her of the danger. As she weighed her options, she felt a pull towards the dark path, a sense of familiarity and belonging. With a deep breath, Elspeth stepped onto the dark path leading to unknown mysteries.
