Toz and the others looked at each other anxiously, the footsteps rapidly approaching. They obviously couldn't leave the pedestal behind as it was. They had to either destroy it or take it with them, which was possible now that it wasn't part of the floor. However, if they stayed behind, they would have to face the innumerable soldiers and combatants of the Fortress of Death. Not to mention how difficult it would be to destroy or retrieve the Fountain, considering the pool of lava around it.
But they had to reach a decision quickly.
Eventually, much to the guilty relief of the others, Toz spoke up.
"I'll stay behind and make sure they can't use it. You guys go on ahead. I'll meet you back at the camp."
Toz turned around and began walking toward the Fountain of Death. Now wasn't the time to stand around and wait for their agreement.
"Toz!"
Toz turned around and looked at Seich.
