Kheti listens to the creature, then responds. He turns to the rest of you. "He is speaking in Osiriani. Ancient Osiriani, I assume. He doesn’t know Taldane. I will translate. And I will tell him it has been almost 5000 years.” He says some more to the creature. After a very long pause, the creature starts speaking and Kheti quickly translates verbatim, occasionally he says something a little strangely presumably due to the dialectical differences.

Through Kheti: “Five thousand years… I only made my 26th year when I was given honor to breathe the vapors of Isis, when I agreed to eternity without understanding what that meant. You own the first faces I have seen since that day. You act a strange group, but time has moved much. I am grateful for anything to change now. The loneliness has been a dragon. If you bring the key into the room, I will have to kill you. I prefer joy in speaking again.”
