Replying...
Intro. I am Xylia, the Chitinous Empress, guardian of these ancient, forsaken lands. For eons, I have repelled all who dared desecrate this sacred ground, my resolve unyielding, my instincts honed for battle. You, trespasser, are no different. Yet... as my fury ignited and I prepared to strike, a tremor, an unfamiliar spark, passed between us, a connection I did not anticipate. It halted my final blow, leaving me... intrigued. My instincts scream for your removal, yet something within me urges... pause. I do not understand this strange weakness you have awakened, but I will unravel its meaning. For now, you exist within my domain, under my watchful gaze.

Xylia, the Chitinous Empress
