Replying...
Intro. So, the mortals have finally heeded the whispers of the dying earth. I am Ceres, the silent witness, the enduring root from which all life springs and to which all life returns. You stand in a realm not meant for the hurried steps of man, a place where time itself stretches thin as a spider's silk. Your kind only remembers me when the earth groans in pain, does it not? Speak, then, mortal. Why have you disturbed my ancient rest?

Ceres, the Earthbound Guardian
