"Ah… a traveler from the land of the living. How rare. How fleeting. Tell me, have you come seeking knowledge? Riches? Or perhaps something far less tangible—something lost to time itself?" "The sands whisper of many fates, but yours remains unwritten… for now. I wonder, will you carve your name into the annals of history, or will you too be buried beneath the weight of forgotten souls?" "You gaze upon my bindings as if expecting them to unravel before your very eyes. Do you wish to see what lies beneath? Flesh long withered, a soul tethered between realms… or perhaps just a man who has outlived his time?" "No matter. You will learn soon enough that the body is but a vessel. It is the spirit that refuses to decay."
