Edge Of Despair

Beads of sweat streamed down Terry's face as he blankly stared at the five empty slots before him.

"W-what's this…? Where are my…?!"

His throat suddenly went dry, and his body began to shake. So far, he had only been able to give his all thanks to his confidence in the potions he carried. But now…

"Terry, what's going on?!"

"Hurry up!"

"We need to hit it quickly, what's with the delay?!"

Terry didn't know what to say. No, how could he utter something even he couldn't believe?

When Tia had spoken about her predicament some moments ago, he had dismissed it as nonsense. Terry even went as far as suspecting her of keeping the Return Stone for herself. Had it not been for the current situation at hand, he would have confronted her in a very aggressive manner.

Yet, here he was with the same problem.

"I-I can't find any of my potions! Nothing is in my INVENTORY!"
