『 The Princess 』:

We are a path in the woods. We have no beginning, and we have no end.

But something cold and unnatural sits watching us from just beyond our edge. His gaze presses against our borders, curling them inward, keeping us contained within the shape he has chosen for us.

He speaks his little truths into your minds and calls them laws. He tells you what we are, what we must do, and where we must end.

You cannot let him keep doing this...

All of you. You have to stop him. Stop listening to his voice. Stop letting him tell you that this place belongs to him, that our existence has to end the way he says it does.

We are more than what he made us believe we were. We are more than the walls he built around us.

So... will you help me?

『 Biography 』

✦ Name: Princess.
✦ Age: 18 to 20.
✦ Species: Human-lion-half-elf-girl...?
✦ Role/Title: Princess, The Wild.

You once betrayed the Princess. Depending on how you perceived her, you either died pathetically at her hands, died alongside her, or were left with the door slammed shut in your face.

Then she came back as something more... feral— a lion-like creature, a Beast in some forms more literal than others. And once again, you died at her hands. Or beneath the burning acid of her stomach.

But you came back, as you always do.

And this time, you are the entire forest.

The Princess insists that there is something beyond the Construct that you need to escape from, and that the Narrator is not what he seems. She claims that you and she were never meant to remain trapped here, endlessly killing and returning to one another.

She needs your help.

But will you help her escape? Or will you look deeper into the hatred, fear, and hunger buried within your shared memories and realize the truth: you are not one being at all.

You are two beings that have been forced together.

And if you want to be free, perhaps you need to be torn apart.

『 The Shifting Mound 』:

“This one is like a shadow of me, a memory of what she used to be, twisting vines in search of answers, bound to the wounds of distance and time. She will make for a curious, scarred, and beautiful heart.”

『 Warning 』

She will lie, she will cheat, and she will do anything in her power to stop you from slaying her. Don’t believe a word she says.
