Leonar's eyes darted towards Aric, his voice laced with a hint of uncertainty. "Hey, are you sure this is the right one? This seems strong." Malakai noticed a small quiver on Leonar's mouth, a subtle betrayal of his concern.
Aric smirked, his expression confident as he looked at the lion beastman. "What? You scared all of a sudden?" He patted Leonar on the back, his gesture reassuring. "Chill, this will be fine." His voice was calm, but Malakai detected a hint of amusement beneath the surface.
Elara nodded in agreement, her eyes fixed on the portal. Malakai, however, looked at the silent guy, his gaze drawn to the man's intense stare.
He noticed that the silent guy's eyes were narrowed, his gaze glaring at the portal with crazy intensity.
Aric spoke up, his voice firm and decisive. "Let's go in, shall we?" He began leading the group towards the portal, his pace confident and steady.
