Second Level [2]

'A lot of things are changing.'

I could tell.

It weighed somewhat heavily on my mind, but since I've decided to act in accordance with my benefits, I wasn't too bothered. 

I was more worried about how my present actions would affect the future.

If they worked in my favor, then that would be the best, but there was also a chance they wouldn't. I could only stand on my toes and hope for the best.

However, right now, the present was my focus.

"What are we going to do about them?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing as Lionel spoke to me in a whisper and how he looked at our 'companions' a distance away from us, I knew it was about them. 

"I mean, we still have to go to that pillar of light, right?"

"Yeah?"

"These people will drag us down."

A sentence I wasn't quite expecting to hear from Lionel.

In the early stages of the novel, Lionel had an incredible hero complex trait.
