It is a woman!
Your knees turn to Jello. Barbara finally says,
"You-You have?"
You begin to focus and the woman in front of you. She wears a black
dress that comes to her ankles, covered in white cloth that resembles
a spider's web. Her red hair covers her back, and, to your surprise,
she has two fang-like teeth.
"Yes," She says calmly. "I am Tsarmina, the Vampire
Goddess." Seeing the look on your face she adds, "You can
trust me--I will not harm you."
"Why?" You ask. "Why were you expecting us?"
"Because," She replies, "You must help me. You must
save the land of Dremwick."
"Welcome children," She says in a musical voice. "I've
been expecting you."
