"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Dave swore as he received the news. The fact that they, as Neophytes, might soon be replaced to be sent into Perilith should have brought him relief. It should have been exactly the tonic he needed to soothe his strained mental state.
Except, he still hadn't completed the mission He had given Dave. So then, it should have been a relief that until official orders came, the Neophytes would still be entering that accursed dimension. Yet the trauma of almost dying nearly every time he entered made it impossible for him to muster any kind of positive emotion about returning to that place.
As if that wasn't enough, he'd been given the ultimate bad news right at the very end! Nero and Vanessa were going to be put into a separate team and would be going to the most dangerous areas of Perilith yet unexplored!
