Alora, he referred to you

"Brother Alaric, you're back! Was the village nearby?" Alora's eyes widened with surprise as she greeted him.

"Yes, it's just a short distance away. I returned moments ago specifically to speak with you. There's something of great importance we must discuss," Alaric replied, his voice carrying a weighty seriousness.

Intrigued, Alora pressed, "What is it, Brother Alaric?" She sensed his urgency and promptly asked Melody and Selvina to give them privacy. Once alone, she leaned in, eager for Alaric to reveal his concerns.

"Alora, I haven't shared this with anyone yet, but in the cave, I encountered someone. What the person said troubles me deeply. I didn't want to accept it outright, but I couldn't ignore the possibility either," Alaric explained, his expression troubled and voice laced with worry.

"Please tell me," Alora said.
