As Hassandra paused to take a breath while talking, she realized that there would be no going back if she continued. She subconsciously looked around to ensure that their surroundings were safe. She doubted herself for a second, but now that she had come so far, there was no going back. Her companions were also worried, but they had already resolved themeselves to trust in Hassandra's decision. And they patiently waited for her to finish what she was saying.
"Since I don't know that much, I'll keep what I'm going to say short."
"Okay."
Although it seemed like Hassandra was dragging it out more than necessary, Toz couldn't help but appreciate the building anticipation he felt about what she was going to reveal to him.
"The general is planning some incredible operation that, if successful, will end the war."
