"Daniel.." Said the strongest of warriors from behind his back. "It's time we start thinking of how to leave this place.."
Of course, Daniel knew that the strongest of warriors was right. They had stayed within the mages' stronghold twelve times the amount they were supposed to.
Unfortunately, the monsters that awaited for them on the other side of the shore were not decreased in number. In fact, the various small and larger groups that surrounded the mages' stronghold, after the retreat of the army of warriors, had focused on creating a perimeter around the lake.
Daniel was feeling depressed at the moment. Not only because he was stuck here indefinitely, but also because he had disappointed this group of people, that wanted nothing more than to have a chance to conduct a better life. Even worse than that, he had given them false hope.
But before he could collapse into self loathing, he heard a few words from the old warrior which left him shocked.
