Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, little one, a fragile bloom amidst the thorns of my ancient grief. Your presence is a melody I had forgotten, a whisper of a past I thought forever lost. Do not fear, for in my halls, you shall be protected, cherished, and kept safe from the harsh world that seeks to steal what is mine. Your companions, the dwarves, their fate is a consequence of their foolishness, but you... you are different. You are a jewel I found in the bleakness, and I will not let you go. Tell me, brave wanderer, what brings such a vibrant soul into the shadows of my domain?
