"What?" Belialthorn demanded.
"What is he saying again?" Rota asked.
"Something about fighting to death," Alaric replied.
Gatemaster smiled with a mouthful of fangs. "What are you afraid of? I'm very small, you could probably bend me with one hand."
"You just said you've killed thousands like us before." Rota pointed out.
"That's just an exaggeration. An exaggeration! Exaggeration!" The metal crackled again. "What, don't you want food and water? It's inside but first, you must fight me!"
The group shared a look. If Gatemaster was to be believed, there would be food and water inside but the problem was they didn't know what else was inside or how powerful the Gatemaster himself.
But Belialthorn knew they had no choice.
