I stood before Elora, the weight of her words still hanging in the air.
She had suffered for centuries, bound to the ruins of her people, lost and alone.
The idea of finally leaving this prison-like existence stirred something deep within her.
Yet, I could sense the fear lingering in her gaze the fear of facing a world that she had never for once been a part of.
I was determined to offer her a path out, however slim that chance might seem.
I took in a deep breath and turned his focus inward, reaching for the connection to my system.
I could feel the subtle pull of my new skill, one that allowed me to form binding contracts with other beings.
But forming a contract with someone as ancient and powerful as Elora was a daunting task.
"System," I called out in my mind, "is there a way to take her with me? To break the bond that ties her to this place and bring her into my world?"
The system's response was swift and, as always, indifferent:
Ding!
