I took a deep breath when I reached the door. “Here it goes – “ I said and reached the handle.
“Next, the Snake.” Phillix said. “Rio and Oril.” He called.
“I could handle it alone.” Oril said.
“No. I could handle it alone.” Rio said, frowning.
“No. You two would handle it both.” The Sage said.
The two shut up.
“And that’s final.” he added.
The two looked at each other and glared. Seriously… what the heck is wrong with these two? I thought.
I pushed the door as slowly as I could. It was dark. And cold. I added in my mind and sighed as I walked inside. The doors closed behind me.
“Chris.” The Sage called.
“Hey. Don’t tell me you’ll let him handle the scorpion alone?” Rio asked. “Let me help.” She said.
“No.” the Sage shook his head and looked at each one of us. “I’m the one who’ll be helping him.” He said.
