Watching the Eighteen-Level Fiend-Suppressing Tower return to its bottleneck and fall silent, only Blazing Fire and I remained here.
I knew it was time for me to leave as well. This was no place for the living...

"Yes!"
Blazing Fire answered crisply.
I did not linger any longer and turned toward the main doors.
Blazing Fire followed closely behind. We moved quickly.

"Blazing Fire, they seem to be very afraid of you?"
