Like the first time, the people sitting with Lex were the same. Even Eric had accompanied them since only through his orders the gates of Ruins would be opened for them. Not anyone could into the Ruins after all.
A silence reigned in the truck as everyone was busy with their thoughts. They knew that the ruins could become their graveyard and this trip their last. The danger in the Ruins was just too much.
However, they were also confident in their abilities. They had trained hard for many years and they would be ashamed of themselves if they died easily.
After all, every single person sitting in the truck was a force to tackle with. They were easily in the top 1% of the strongest in the kingdoms. They were the true prodigies.
Lex smiled and looked at everyone. They were the people he was going to trust his back with. They would be his companions. He first looked at Denver.
