I Just Think That This Is A Golden Opportunity

"Did you know?" Adira asked in a solemn tone. "Did you know that monster was lying in wait in front of us?"

The Black Hound also looked at the seven-year-old, who was currently leaning on the wall of the cave with his eyes still closed.

"I did," Thirteen replied. 

"And yet, you didn't tell us?" Adira's voice became cold as her eyes bored into the boy, who had dared to attempt such a gamble, betting his and her lives on the line.

"If I told you, what would you have done?" Thirteen asked back in a calm tone.

"I would have definitely not followed you in this suicide mission."

"That's the thing, lady Adira. I didn't ask you to follow me. I was prepared to do this mission alone."

The corner of the Drow's eyes twitched because she couldn't refute Zion's words. 

She was the one who had decided to follow the boy, so she couldn't blame him for the turn of events that transpired an hour ago.
