"Leaving now would definitely be the safer choice."
Nadezhda immediately nodded in agreement. "That's what I've been saying."
Arkady, however, shook his head. "Safer, perhaps. But we'd be abandoning the opportunity to investigate something that may never appear again."
Anastasia crossed her arms and glanced at the enormous structure in the distance. "We don't even know what we're dealing with."
"That's true," Arkady replied. "Which is why we should investigate."
Nadezhda frowned. "And how exactly do you plan to do that? Walk through the front door and ask whoever owns that thing what it is?"
"That would be the most straightforward approach."
"Arkady."
The old mage laughed softly.
Zorin, who had remained silent until then, finally spoke. "We don't have to enter the tower."
Arkady turned toward him.
