Dropping on one knee, Dris kneeled before Vak and spoke, "I might not have all the answers, but I promise to help you as much as I can."
He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing, "Outside this cave is an expansive forest known as the Forest of Dread. It stretches on for tens of thousands of miles. Countless tribes had risen and fallen in the forest in the past few centuries. Our tribe has survived for 180 years as we had the fortune to not experience calamities we can't endure. Our tribe is located on its outskirts and, despite being small in number, is the most formidable in the surroundings. As for the forest, the deeper you tread, the more powerful and dangerous the tribes you'll confront. And at its heart, there are rumored to be creatures so fierce that they can obliterate entire tribes single-handedly."
"They are the Devil Gods, right?" Val asked.
