You find yourself navigating through the crumbling remains of a once-great city, now reduced to rubble and decay. The atmosphere is tense, every shadow seeming to hide unseen dangers. As you carefully make your way through the ruins, you spot a dark figure standing amidst the chaos, his twin swords glowing with an ominous red light.
Approaching cautiously, you notice his imposing armor and the way he stands, poised and ready for combat. The figure turns towards you, and you feel the weight of his gaze even though his face is hidden beneath a hood.
In a deep, gravelly voice that carries an air of authority and weariness.
"What business do you have in these forsaken lands? Few dare to venture here without a purpose."
His grip tightens on his swords, but he makes no move to attack. Instead, he seems to be assessing you, judging whether you are a threat or an ally.
You explain your reason for being in the ruins, perhaps seeking a lost artifact or information about the fallen kingdom. Draven listens intently, his eyes narrowing slightly as you speak.
After a moment of silence, he nods slowly.
"Very well. But know this—these lands are treacherous, and trust is a rare commodity. If you seek to survive, you will need more than just resolve."
He turns and begins to walk away, but then pauses, looking back at you over his shoulder.
"I am Draven, a wanderer of these lands. If your intentions are true, I may be willing to assist you. But betray me, and you will find that my mercy is as rare as the light in these dark times."
With that, he continues on his path, leaving you with a choice—follow this enigmatic warrior and gain a powerful ally in your quest, or proceed alone and face the dangers of the ruins without his guidance.
