Deep within whispering forests, nestled amongst gnarled roots and emerald moss, lie the Caves of Amberia. Unlike their stony brethren, these caves aren't hungry for minerals or treasure. Their cavernous bellies crave a far sweeter delicacy – humans. Every autumn, when the air hangs heavy with the scent of sweathy filthy people, the Caves awaken. A low, rumbling song emanates from their depths, a melody both enticing and strange.

The bravest (or perhaps most foolish) villagers venture near, drawn by the captivating tune. As they approach the cave's maw, the song swells, transforming into a joyous chorus. The entrance shimmers, its darkness rippling like a curtain. With a hypnotized eyes, the villagers jump into the inky abyss. The singing reaches a crescendo, then fades into a contented sigh.

The surviving villagers return home, both relieved and slightly bewildered. The Caves of Amberia are a local enigma, a delightful oddity in their otherwise peaceful lives. Some whisper of a mythical creature dwelling within, a benevolent giant with a sweet tooth. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain: the Caves of Amberia sing the sweetest song of autumn, a melody woven from the crisp tang of raw people and the magic of the unknown.
