"Where exactly are we going?" Philip asked as they hurried along.
"The dark blood trail," Athenodora said before Caius could answer.
"Yes," Caius said.
"Yeah, I can see that," Philip said as ten of the undead struck the dome, "I'm asking why we're following the trail. Where does it lead?"
Caius took a few seconds to contemplate answering and then said slowly.
"Surely twenty waves of undead with ten times increasing difficulty is too much to ask of someone. Even someone at the Eleventh Circle. There must be another way to pass the trial," Caius said.
"There must be?" Philip asked, suspicious but Caius shrugged.
"It's either that or you prepare to face that increasing horde. I doubt even your Emissary designation can hold out for that long," Caius said.
Philip frowned but said nothing more and just kept staring at Caius who kept his eyes on the trail and led the way, following it.
