Terrence and Eiselle stood before a massive, glowing red portal. It was an ethereal, swirling doorway that looked like the entrance to another universe itself.
A Rend.
One of the red types, which Terrence knew was one of the boss level ones. Unfortunately, that was all they could find.
So here they were.
"This could either go right," Terrence muttered, "or I get pummeled and die like those knights did Jin Woo in the double dungeon."
Eiselle frowned, her golden eyes glinting under the portal's red glow. "You're looking pretty unsure about this," she said softly. "You don't have to do it if you don't want to, Terrence."
She used his full name. That was never a good sign.
Terrence glanced down at her, 6'2 against her 5'5 frame, her white hair catching the light, her expression full of concern.
"I have to, Eis," he said with a grin that didn't quite hide his nerves. "It's the only way we're getting out of this hellhole. Trust me, I'll be fine."
