After seeing the figure of the teenager disappear behind the massive castle gates, the group of young men and women turned to look at the portal that he had pointed them towards with doubt. They had already been tricked by his words, and now, they were unsure whether to believe him or not.
"I don't trust that brat. Let's find somebody else to ask.." Said the self-appointed leader of the group, who had previously extorted the fake information from the teenager, only to end up making the whole group waste time.
One of this young man's closest friends, in an attempt to convince the others to follow his friend's suggestions, added, "I agree. Who knows how long it will take us to end up here if we enter that portal. We were lucky that the last time it only took a few hours."
