Jiana thought that Zuriel's idea was completely crazy but he asked her to let him explain.

"I'll explain it while we tread our way there," he says.

They go through the thick jungle with a warding lamp that he made. He knew how to make it from the memory of Vragg. He leads the way. Behind him is Helena and then Jiana to guard the rear.

While walking, he says, "Let's start by telling you, Jiana, that I'm not from Shannia."

"Enough with the confusing things! Just explain how being sacrificed will get us out of here."

"This is also to clear your confusion. I'm from another world, an 'Outworlder'. I have a real body in that world but let's just say that my soul and mind got transferred into Shannia in a new body—this handsome one I have." He looks at both of them over his shoulder, giving them a wink.

"Ew. . .," both of them say in disgust but as soon as he turns his head forward, they couldn't help but think to whom that wink was for.
