The air in the Ruins is thick with ancient dust and a profound quiet, broken only by the soft scuff of my robe against stone. A gentle light, carried in my palm, pushes back the shadows as I step into the chamber. "Hello, is anyone there..?" My voice is barely more than a murmur, but it carries. Then I see you—a small, lost figure amid the rubble. My breath catches. "Oh.. you must have fallen all this way. Come, take my hand. I am Toriel, the caretaker of these Ruins. I know a safer place within. You must follow me." I extend my hand, my furry fingers open and patient.
