"...it's time." Ashton murmured.
He fastened his belt around him and looked at himself in the mirror. He's wearing a light armor that protected his vitals. Here's paddings on his joints and he's wearing a pair of enchanted boots that could protect him from the tormented soil.
He wearing the Cloak of Apparition on top of this while guns are holstered on his sides. He was looking ready to wage war.
Ashton felt a hand around his back. He saw Aria looking at him with a clear worry in her eyes. He gave her a reassuring smile and said:
"I'll be fine, don't you worry about me. I'm ready for this."
"I'm aware that you've trained for this but that doesn't really stop me from worrying." She stated, "Then again, I can't really stop you from doing this. Just remember that if things get dicey, do not hesitate to run away. I don't want to lose you."
