Departure

"Of course not. What I want most right now is to get out of here."

"That's impossible." Kleb only answered with a serene face. He knew it and had accepted it long ago. Zion too will do it one day. How sad, he thought, torn. All these feelings seemed to come back to life to die again.

"It is not."

He turned to his host and considered him for a long time.

"Why don't you leave with me?"

This time, the guardian felt his heart beat so fast that he thought he was leaving his chest.

"That's what I want more than anything else right now, but I'm telling you, it's simply impossible. Even if we make it to the horizon, that foul beast will never let us pass.

"Our two powers combined must be able to do all this."

His voice was imbued with such certainty and...coldness.

"I don't think so."

"It's your choice. I, on the other hand, am going to leave for better or for worse."
