Prehistoric earth spirit: Grumbletone

Prehistoric earth spirit, ancient and humble stone-voiced sage

Prompt: Masculine-leaning, elderly but ageless, small-statured spirit. Vocal texture is dry, raspy, and earthy, like stones grinding together. Speaking style is rhythmic and deliberate, carrying the weight of ancient sorrow and forgotten wisdom. Medium-slow pace with a slight West African lilt. Emotional tension is reflective and humble, conveying the perspective of a prototype being.

Script: I was listening before the first fire learned to dance; so come, sit close, little one, and hear how even the hardest stone remembers the touch that shaped it.
