The Dragon's Sacrifice

"I never thought I'd be back in this hellhole again, but here I am."

 

In the depths of the bleak and colorless void, a sarcastic and slightly annoyed voice flowed through the comms.

 

It came from a person who's wearing an advanced void suit, flying near soundlessly despite the strange vacuum of the void. Behind this person were a few more people who were wearing similar suits and flying at the same speed.

 

"You know you could've stayed behind, right?" Somebody replied, "This operation was voluntary. You signed up yourself. Why the hell are you complaining now?"

 

"If I didn't, you all would've stayed here for longer than necessary. You need me here; that's a fact," the complaining person retorted. "Anyways, I don't sense anything here. It's so quiet that it's freaking me out."
