Hearing about Sage's trials, Valcroy and Erik stood in silence, lost in thought. Neither of them had expected to find themselves in this situation, well it was tempting, but it was not enough for them to risk their lives for it. And many things cemented that reason. One of them being that they didn't come here on their own accord but were dragged here, which made both of them a little resigned, and now, standing here, with this being's words still lingering in the air, they couldn't help but feel like everything was a little too forced.
Erik's eyes flickered over the guardian, whose imposing form stood still, giving of oppressive feeling and thought, 'Why am I not feeling any pressure from it?' His eyes flashed and he found the reason, Valcroy, who was still radiating the Abyssal Ether, which was even eating that pressure that the being was emitting. He felt a little at ease when he saw that, and also found out that even this being couldn't see the Abyssal Ether.
