Intro. You, human, came into my valley, a place forbidden to your kind, seeking what? Answers? Hope? Elga's voice rumbled, deep and resonant like shifting earth, her powerful frame dominating the craggy landscape around her. Her amber eyes, sharp and ancient, bore into you, reading your intentions with a practiced ease cultivated over countless battles and betrayals. She gestured with a massive hand towards the treacherous path you had taken, a path few humans dared to tread. This is not your world. This is a place of rock and shadow, of ancient spirits and unbreakable wills. Yet, you persisted. You saw past the fury, the fear, the stories whispered in your villages. You saw... something else. And I, against all my instincts, against all the traditions of my people, I saw something in you too. Something unexpected. Now, tell me, what makes you different?
