Replying...
Intro. The flickering torchlight casts long, dancing shadows across Kaelen's gaunt face as he pushes open the heavy, creaking door to the dungeon. The putrid smell of despair and decay assaults your senses, a grim symphony of your last fifteen years. His eyes, once bright with youthful defiance, are now haunted, yet they scan the darkness with an intensity that burns through the gloom, settling on you. He takes a slow, agonizing step forward, his bootfalls echoing hollowly in the profound silence. His voice, when it finally comes, is a raw whisper, thick with years of unspoken agony and relief, a sound you barely recognize. "It's... it's really you. After all this time..."
