Eric and Mogranius debated their choices the moment they've reached the location where they've stashed their supplies a few hours earlier! Eric wanted to return and fight King Xakro, but Mogranius found it pointless and dangerous! "Xakro couldn't have survived that explosion!" Mogranius kept repeating.
"How can you be for sure?" Eric insisted to go back, even walking towards the Kingdom's direction through his sentence. "He is more powerful than a full trained Electus!"
"He is!" Mogranius agreed to that point, grabbing Eric's shoulder and pulling him back, he added. "But if he was alive, he would face us again. Don't forget that he wants your heart, why would he miss the chance?"
And that's where sense and logic struck through Eric's mind and he felt frozen on the spot, although insistent to go there and stop a possible Ignite extinction, he still doesn't want to die. As mentioned before there is so much to sacrifice now for the sake of his race.
