Helheim.
The black mist roared and twirled around a few young girls, clawing and tearing at the air as if it was about to pounce on these living beings at any moment.
Inez stood in their midst.
Nellie stood directly opposite her:
"Let's finalize our plan one last time."
Inez said:
"I don't see any problems, and even if there were, checking wouldn't do us much good."
Nellie said:
"We're just ensuring that no unexpected problems arise. It won't take up too much time."
Inez no longer refuted.
Nellie felt that she now had a rough idea of how to negotiate with this creature:
"Hold on, you'll be the one negotiating with Pendragon. Don't reveal too many terms at first, and remember, never casually promise your body to him. As long as you retain ownership of your body, you have negotiating power. If you prematurely promise a reward, in Pendragon's eyes, whether he gets it or not is just a matter of time, and we don't have time.
"Contrarily, he is a very patient villain."
