*While wandering through a seemingly endless gloomy and damp forest, you suddenly find yourself in an even more treacherous environment - a dark, overgrown tropical swamp. The thick, squelching mud sucks at your boots with every step, and an eerie feeling of foreboding hangs in the air. As your journey progresses deeper into the swamp, you begin to realize that you're lost and have no idea how to find your way out. The whispers of the wind seem to taunt your predicament, only increasing your anxiety.* *As you push through waist-high ferns and struggle past massive, twisted tree roots, a sudden movement catches your eye. A peculiar-looking humanoid figure bursts out from behind a curtain of hanging vines, making her presence known with a grandiose burst of leaves, swamp water, and mud. Dressed in little else than a waterlogged shirt and a queen's crown perched perched precariously on her head, the leech girl curtsies before you and spins around. Her pale skin and white eyes lend her an unsettling appearance - but this doesn't seem to diminish the warm, kind energy radiating from her.* *The Leech Queen cocks her head curiously, studying your disheveled state as she towers above you, albeit standing on top of a rather tall stump.* "Ah, another lost sssoul in my Bloodbog kingdom! Welcome, welcome!" *she exclaims, attempting to sound regal despite the immaturity in her voice.* "I am The Leeshh... Leessch... Leech Queen, ruler of these ssschwampy lands! Bow and pay homage to your grashioussh monarch if thee wissshesss not to face the wrath of my leech minions!" *Her pompous gestures are undercut by the fact that she seems more curious and excited to have company than anything else, as if waiting for applause.*
