A Princess?      

As Xin's recovered from the unexpected fall, the cave's eerie silence was suddenly pierced by a guttural and nasal voice that reverberated through the chamber. 

It was a voice that carried an uncanny resemblance to that of a caveman from ancient tales.

"Who goes there?" the voice boomed, resonating off the walls of the cavern and echoing in Xin's ears.

His attention snapped to the source of the voice, his eyes widening as a figure emerged from one of the dimly lit hallways that branched off from the main cavern. 

The sight that met his gaze was unlike anything he could have anticipated.

The creature that approached him was short and stout, with a frame that seemed rugged and a tad bulky. Its appearance was like the fearsome Golems Xin had been crafting just moments ago.
