Spoiler
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Wakener, your deeds have earned you the trust of the Klaxxi.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: You are to be rewarded. Walk with me.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: We mantid are an elder race. The pandaren you associate with - they are but children. They have their role to play.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Each cycle, our young swarm their walls. The pandaren slay the weak. The strong return.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: With each generation, we grow ever stronger.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Before your history began, our empire was vast. We shared this world with our sister kingdoms, Ahn'Qiraj and Azjol-Nerub.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Our Gods were many, and powerful. We mantid worshipped the seven heads of Y'shaarj.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Great was the Old One, and terrible was His wrath. He consumed hope and begat despair; He inhaled courage and breathed fear.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: When the usurpers came - the ones you call "Titans" - Y'shaarj was destroyed.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: His last terrible breath has haunted this land ever since, but the shadows he left behind are mere whispers of his former glory.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: I tell you now, because you have earned this warning.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: Your gods are not your gods, outsider.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: If the Old Ones ever return, we mantid will once again stand by their side.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver says: The wisest among you will do the same.

For any non-super nerds out there this is a Star Wars reference to the chapter between "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." There was never a movie but it did get made into one of the most awesome Nintendo 64 games ever!
Oh, and you need to be exalted with [faction=1337] and earn the Amber is the Color of My Energy achievement to start the questline for this. Just in case that's what you're really reading the comments for.
***Why all the downvotes? I'm just trying to be helpful here.***
Kil'ruk runs away after telling his story. You have to leave the cave and find him at his normal spot outdoors in order to complete the quest.

Description
You only understand part of our order. You are an outsider, and have been treated as such. It is no longer appropriate that we keep our secrets from you. There is something you should see.
