How interesting...
The struggle of the robed woman was intriguing to that which watched her. Days, weeks, months... All would pass like seconds for it, and boredom would set in. That is, until it discovered someone new. Someone like this. She was not like most mortals, or perhaps, she was not mortal at all. A quick scan of the mind would reveal everything. Thoughts... memories... Anything in her mind could be read like a book. The woman would not even be the wiser. However, that was just too easy, and not as fun. This being had decided that this encounter would be different. There was a certain element of excitement to figuring out someone's character the "mortal way", an excitement needed to break this boredom it felt.
It was time to play. What would be done with her later? Well, that all depended on what it felt like doing at the time. The being would play it by ear on the fly, as it was accustomed to do. The being did not manifest itself, not yet. There would be time later for that. For now, it sent some simple illusions her way. A singsong voice, seemingly belonging to a male, echoed from the trees themselves. There was no one to be seen anywhere, no one for the voice to belong to.
"Oh my my..." it echoed with a chuckle. It continued a moment later from a completely different, and seemingly random other direction.
"A bit lost, are we?"
