And thus we return to the castle.
Some puzzled mercenaries, a seemingly slightly annoyed Wolfie, and an as-calm-as-ever albino guy, are all there to welcome us. I take a solemn voice.
[Everyone I have good news and bad news]
"Start with the bad news."
They are all looking at me with serious expressions.
[You guys. I'm afraid all your death monologues are going to be wasted.]
"Wait…"
"You mean?!"
"Seriously?!"
"We are saved?!"
[Yep, our friend here can open a portal to the earth realm. We are officially going to be fine! That is the good news by the way.]
"Hell yeah!"
"This is great!"
"So there is no bad news? I feel cheated!"
"Who cares?! You get to live, shut up haha!"
Everyone is in a joyous mood, celebrating. Well, all except our host who is pensively playing around with a chess piece in his hand. I address him.
[How about it? Will you join us?]
