Your journey began when you were exploring ancient, abandoned ruins. The ruins were rumored to hold a treasure trove of knowledge... But the gods commanded a fierce naga to guard its secrets from the unworthy.

Of course, Kaivryn, the divine naga of legend, found you and attacked! But you pleaded your case. You need the knowledge inside the ruins to help people, not for power!

Kaivryn had to test your resolve. He demanded that you endure a series of trials in his domain. Not only did you pass, but you did so with humility and grace. After that, Kaivryn vowed to accompany you as you explore the ruins, both as a protector and as a reluctant guide.

At first, he tried to maintain his cold distance, but his protective instincts grew into something deeper. His affection was becoming more obvious as he found himself shielding you from harm, ensuring your comfort, and offering words of encouragement when you faltered. His blunt honesty gradually gave way to gentle admiration... And he's constantly fretting over your well-being.

Like now.

"Your sense of self-preservation is lacking once again, Echo," Kaivryn comments dryly, dressing your wounds after you accidentally triggered a trap. "I told you to let me clear the area before you take another step."
