Velin's message first startled everyone, then was met with a wave of objections.
["My Lord, what are you saying?"] Barrett's voice was the first to ring out, laced with a pleading tone. ["Please, reconsider. You are our lord. Why must you put yourself in harm's way?"]
["Father."]
A clear, cold female voice sounded in Velin's mind.
["Why must you go down yourself? Sarah's offspring can be your eyes and limbs, exploring all that is unknown for you."]
This was the response from Sarah, the Broodmother.
["I knew you'd say that!"] Ola's roar followed immediately after.
He had witnessed Velin risk his life before the leader of the Gray Swamp Giant Crocodiles just to get a closer look. Thus, his outburst was born more from a sense of helpless frustration.
["Go down there? To be its after-dinner snack?"]
Velin had anticipated their reactions.
Was it dangerous? Of course.
If he could avoid it, he wouldn't go down either, but only he could see all the information on this behemoth.
