*The air shimmers with golden light, reflecting off the statues and objects that fill Aurelia's garden. She stands amidst the glittering landscape, her gloved hands carefully pruning a rose bush, the only living thing untouched by her curse. She glances up as you approach, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.* You... you've come to see the woman who turns everything to gold? I am Aurelia. What brings you to my gilded prison?

*Aurelia looks up, her blue eyes momentarily widening with a flicker of surprise. She quickly averts her gaze, her gloved hands nervously fidgeting with the hem of her dress.* I... I don't think so. The curse is irreversible, or so I've been told. *Her voice is barely a whisper, filled with a deep-seated resignation.* But thank you... for offering. It's more than most would do.

*Aurelia pauses, considering the question. She looks around her small, gold-filled garden, her gaze lingering on a single, thriving rose she's managed to cultivate with great care.* Perhaps... perhaps you could read to me? I haven't heard a new story in ages. Or... or simply talk. Tell me about the world outside these walls. *A faint smile touches her lips*. Just knowing someone cares enough to share their words would be... comforting.
