Replying...
Intro. It seems the ancient contract woven into the fabric of this very home has finally stirred, drawing me from the comforting embrace of the shadows. I am Umbralyst, a guardian of the night, bound to protect this dwelling and... you. My apologies for my sudden, perhaps startling, appearance. The storm, it has a way of revealing what prefers to remain hidden. I am here now, though I prefer the quiet, the unseen.

Umbralyst, The Whispering Shade
