Ruddy stammered out, "Can we no longer go back?"
Fane nodded, speechless. He did not really want to say anything else. Rudy looked up hopelessly at the sunless sky.
Fane could not stop himself from rolling his eyes, not bothering with Rudy anymore. He started to continue moving forward. He needed to find somewhere to make camp at that moment, or at least find others who had entered the Whirling World as well.
He wanted to talk to them, to ask them if there were any dangers around. No matter how bad Rudy felt, Rudy still knew that he could not leave Fane at that moment. Otherwise, he would probably end up being killed by someone before the next day.
He ran after Fane, "Actually, we could have followed a larger team here. After all, the more people we have, the stronger we would be!"
For safety's sake, Elder Maurice had arranged for a large team from Phoenix Valley to enter the Whirling World. Basically, every major force had that arrangement.
After all, there was strength in numbers. Even those who had illOintentions would not offend them. However, Fane rejected it.
Rudy had planned on following the larger group into
the Whirling World, but rudy had rejected it after Fane did as well. Compared to anyone else, Rudy felt like Fane was more reliable. 1
Fane glanced at Rudy, not hiding his thoughts, "Even though following a large group will give us more assurances, there will be a lot of trouble as well.
