A few simple words weren't enough to make Singriel give up.
"I'm willing to pay any price! As long as I can… stay here…"
He couldn't lose this place.
Only the heavens knew how hard it would be to find another curse like the one in Tuck Village if he were forced to leave.
He absolutely couldn't walk away from this opportunity!
"It's not possible. Right now, you have only one choice," Daniel said, looking at Singriel.
With that, Daniel turned and walked toward the door.
"I need to take care of something. By the time I return, you'd better be gone from this village."
After saying this, Daniel released the bindings on Singriel and left the underground chamber.
Left alone, Singriel sat in the chamber, his expression fluctuating between despair and defiance as he wrestled with his final decision.
It was still night.
The village was silent as Daniel walked through the empty streets.
