"Somehow, your face tells me you've been there," William said, studying Scylla's expression. There was something about the way she carried herself, a subtle look that spoke of hard-earned experience.
"I have been there," Scylla confirmed, nodding slightly, her voice steady.
William raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "So, you've really been to the Forbidden Ground," he said, processing the revelation. He leaned in, his curiosity piqued. "What was it like?"
Scylla hesitated for a moment, her eyes reflecting memories of the place. "It was... unforgiving," she began, her tone measured but filled with the gravity of her experience. "A place that doesn't just test your strength but your resolve to keep going. Every step felt like you were tempting fate."
William listened closely, sensing the intensity behind her words. "Sounds like it was brutal," he said, appreciating the weight of her journey.
