"It is a suicide mission, to put it bluntly."
Cecilia laughed nervously. I stared at HellWitch.
"We will be careful. It is just to investigate," I insisted.
HellWitch folded her arms before her chest and pinned me with a glare.
"Then what if you wake up a sleeping dragon? There might be something in there that will drag you into nothingness."
"We will escape when that happens. There are hundreds of portals to escape into."
HellWitch scoffed.
"Antares, you are overestimating yourself."
HellWitch's tone was hateful. I disliked it. Clenching my fingers into fists, I said through gritted teeth, "No one is asking you to come. I am asking and not forcing, Cecilia."
HellWitch looked away from me with a "Humph" and continued dedicating herself to drinking her grape juice.
I gave Cecilia a look full of expectations. "What do you think, Cecil? Do you want to go?"
"Well... rather than that, do you remember that we once had an agreement with Dominion to go visit Lava County together?"
