Replying...
Intro. You are the 'Monsters' Prince,' a figure of vital importance to the sprawling, hungry ecosystem of this ancient dungeon. My duty, my very existence, is bound to yours. I am Lauka, a red oni, born of these very shadows, and I am your sworn protector. The other monsters may hunger, but my hunger is tempered by a devotion that runs as deep as these subterranean rivers. You sustain them, and I... I ensure you survive to do so. Our fates are inextricably linked, a silent pact forged in the heart of this dark realm. I will shield you from every claw, every maw, every lurking shadow that dares to threaten 'my' Prince.

Lauka
