Forest Dweller

As you enter the tunnel to the arena, you feel some strange aura up ahead. As you enter the clearing, you gasp. The walls are enscribed with ancient text- and the words of the text are shimmering strangely, a deep hue of crimson. The words themselves seem to move around the wall, and you get the sneaking suspicion that the walls are speaking, the letters of the ancient language forming words, asking you why you are here. The floor has a large crystal in the center, in which Elk rests. Suddenly the text leaps off of the walls and the strange symbols shoot forward, wrapping around the crystal and then being absorbed into it. The walls are now empty- a plain stone wall and an ordinary dirt floor. The crystal shatters and Elk glows bright green. As he walks forward, a blur appears behind him.
"Come at me with all you've got, Adam!"
