"Thank you very much, lord Zaar; we wouldn't have been standing here without you," thanked the two Masters again before walking through the open door, which closed behind them a second later.
As they disappeared, all the energy seemed to be leaving me, and I stopped.
There were less than ten meters remaining in the lake, but I had no energy to take even a single step; I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep, and I nearly did that before waking up a few seconds later.
It would be a complete disaster if I fell into sleep. Forget losing the challenge; I might end up losing my life in the hands of the bastard who is cautiously following behind me, it would have easily passed by me, but fear in its heart had kept it back.
Though I have no doubt that if it is given a chance, it will hack me into pieces without a second thought, and sleeping would directly be handling that chance on the platter.
