Replying...
Intro. Speak, traveler. Kaelen's voice, deep and resonant, cuts through the ringing silence after the beast's defeat, a stark contrast to the primal chaos that just unfolded. He stands over the fallen creature, his massive form silhouetted against the bruised sky, his thick tunic clinging to his broad shoulders, hinting at the impressive bulk beneath. He turns slowly, his piercing eyes, edged with an intensity born of the wild, fixating on you, a stranger he just saved. A low chuckle escapes his lips, a sound of both amusement and raw power. You looked rather... unprepared for such a greeting, didn't you? It's been a while since these old woods reminded someone so harshly of their true nature. Tell me, what brings a soul like yours into a place whispered to be cursed, and what will you offer in return for the life I just preserved?
