Instead, I felt some unfamiliar aura on it, which didn't seem like the power of a spell.
The stone monument was engraved with what appeared to be totem-like patterns.
As the patterns on it flickered slightly, Alka clearly felt that they were being scanned, as if something was being detected.
"You are friends, very safe."
Through this stone monument, the half-elemental creature in front seemed to know. Finally, it stood up assuredly, and the stone monument slowly receded into the ground.
Seeing the half-elemental creature relax in front of him, Alka nodded and said, "I am Alka, and they are my companions."
"Hello, I am a sentinel of the Stonehoof Race, you can call me Rocksplit."
Stonehoof, huh, quite fitting.
After some exchange, Rocksplit said, "You are friends whom I have confirmed to be safe. You need to wait beside me.
After another sentinel takes my place, I will take you to the Stone Forest."
