Tower of Ascension (2)

Xander could not believe his luck. It was just his first throw, and he had managed to roll a number that landed him straight in front of a demon.

The All-Seer had already made the rules crystal clear. It was time for him to answer her question if he wished to survive this encounter.

"Fine, ask away," Xander said, suppressing his annoyance.

"What does she mean to you, Warden?" the All-Seer asked. "Why do you want to save Leena's soul?"

"I think you're supposed to ask only one question," Xander retorted.

"Fine." She smiled. "What does Leena mean to you?"

"She is a good friend...a great friend. One of the very few people in this world whom I trust with my life," Xander answered.
