"I'm going down," Zach said after a brief moment of silence.
"Who's with me?" He asked. By now, they should have had time to process the gravity of the situation.
Dukiel looked at Zach. He knew Zach. If Zach was doing this, it meant he felt it would be possible to succeed. He would do anything to reach that possibility.
"I'm in." After everything they had been through, how could Dukiel not trust Zach?
"Me too." Nessa had only needed a slight push to give in. Much like Dukiel, she couldn't not trust Zach, especially after he returned from the twelfth Trial of the Labyrinth of Syst. He was the first person in history to do so. He was not limited to conventional thought.
Even if Maer hadn't exaggerated—even if he had underestimated the threat posed by the Underworld's machinations, Nessa believed Zach could overcome it. He even had a deity by his side. If anyone could do it, it would be him.
