It may take hours, or days, but you will hear them. But now to me.) At first it was just a humming, which you can hear if you lean against a stone and listen very closely. I have spent days listening to their secret whispers and learning their language. Most don't, but most have not spent the time that I have in trying to learn about these stones. If they hate me so, why do they tell me their secrets? Is it because they know my secrets already?) They are waiting for their master to return. They have seen civilizations rise and fall.
