Leaving the Death Domain

And thus we return to the castle.

Some puzzled mercenaries, a seemingly slightly annoyed Wolfie, and an as-calm-as-ever albino guy, are all there to welcome us. I take a solemn voice.

[Everyone I have good news and bad news]

"Start with the bad news."

They are all looking at me with serious expressions.

[You guys. I'm afraid all your death monologues are going to be wasted.]

"Wait…"

"You mean?!"

"Seriously?!"

"We are saved?!"

[Yep, our friend here can open a portal to the earth realm. We are officially going to be fine! That is the good news by the way.]

"Hell yeah!"

"This is great!"

"So there is no bad news? I feel cheated!"

"Who cares?! You get to live, shut up haha!"

Everyone is in a joyous mood, celebrating. Well, all except our host who is pensively playing around with a chess piece in his hand. I address him.

[How about it? Will you join us?]
