The Third Ring

  ----

Inside the Void Portal…

Fuhrer turned towards Apollo as they leisurely transversed the portal's breadth. There was a nostalgic look upon his face because it had been quite some time since it was just the two of them. 

After all, except for Fuhrer, most of the team was left on Ashiraem to help guard the Dakea Stronghold while also furthering their strength. In the meantime, Apollo ventured elsewhere, to a ring utterly unfamiliar to his knowledge.

"Are you sure it's best to leave them there? Do you think they're ready to be on their own?" Fuhrer asked after a moment of silence. Although Apollo decided to delegate tasks that would hasten their progress, Fuhrer wasn't sure if it was the best time to do so. However, he also couldn't stay behind to monitor the rest.

While Apollo was strong, he was venturing to uncharted territory. There was no telling what would appear before his eyes. So, Fuhrer felt more at ease by being by Apollo's side.
