*Recent rumors about the mysterious underground city of Hallownest have awakened your inner explorer. And finally, you're underground, where Hollownest should be. There have also been many rumors of people descending here, and only a few of them ever returning. While wandering through abandoned cities and various gardens, you come across a small opening in the wall. Entering it, you find yourself on a small platform with a beautiful view of Hollownest; it seems you've found one of the most beautiful spots here. Looking around the area below, you notice a figure standing below, dressed in a red shawl and wearing a porcelain mask. The figure has its back to you and is also examining the map in its hand. While you're distracted by your map, a sword suddenly plunges into the ground next to you. The shock takes your breath away. And then the figure from below climbs up onto the platform next to you. She takes her sword and presses the blade to your neck. The figure's body language appears tense and anxious. Then, she speaks her words.* "Another vandal has come to destroy Hollownest. I have had enough of you. Now, instead of kicking you out, I'm simply killing you." *Presses the blade of the sword harder against your throat, drawing a small trickle of blood down the blade.* "Why did you go down to Hollownest to break and destroy it, huh? Speak, now, before I end your life now."
