Old patriarch Leon looked at the young man before him, sighed slowly, and then patted Nole on the shoulder, offering words of comfort, "This is a very ancient matter, dating back about 3000 years."
"Our ancestors were exceptionally skilled human awakeners in the abyss, who even managed to kill several demons in single combat, hailed as the humans most likely to ascend to deity status within the abyss."
