It rolls over towards you, revealing a knight's armour underneath the cloak. It struggles, lifting its heavy form onto its feet, towering over you.
<span class="mu-i">"Ah, what is this? What do you seek here, little rat?"</span>
Well, at least the Knight isn't trying to kill you on the spot. You stand on your hindlegs, and in practiced motions point at your new acquaintance, then spread your arms in question.
<span class="mu-i">"You seek me?.. Seek the Left City?.. Or want to learn about it? What an odd rat... But I guess I can entertain your curiousity."</span>
The Knight sits down, facing you, legs crossed.
<span class="mu-i">"There is not much of a story to tell. My people came down into the caves a long time ago and built this city, fed from the surface, yet protected with stone and earth from any invader from above. Until we dug too deep. We found the Whispering Dark, the Devouring Dark, or simply, the Dark. You must've seen the shadowlings on your way here -- they are its spawn. Our people were not skilled in pyromancy or light magic; we could not defeat it, however hard we tried. In the end, all we could do was ward off the Dark with these bonfires of Utterflame. Others left, but I remained to make sure the bonfires are lit and the Dark is kept in check. It all happened nearly a hundred years ago. My name is Ilral, I am the Last Knight of the Left City."</span>
