''Wh-''

''Now!'' Rimy throws the knife at the exit and an explosion comes from it. Vliney flies back and looks''W..What the hell''. Rimy comes at her with a sword.

A sword came flying from behind and Lio put a shield behind him so the sword flew up and hit the roof.

Rimy''Welp, I'm still alive''

'''Vliney''Jimle comes into her offices.

''Yes, Jimle?''She put the paper down.

''I want to talk about the human that has gotten down here''

Vliney sighs''if you try to get me to change my mind about killing him I will not, just like this morning, I will kill him I will get us all out, for the people, and for the dead, that can not be here to see it...''

''But he-''

''Jimle!''She looks at her with anger. Jimle looks at her.

Vliney''Listen here, We have finally a chance to get out of this hellhole, after four hundred years we can be free, our people wanted this for a long time. i will not let this chance slip away''

Jimle''I..I... ''

Vliney looks at her and sighs''You really are still a kid huh''

''I'm not, I'm an adult''

'' but still, you are just at the beginning of your life''

''Don't try to chances the subject Vliney''Jimle looks at her.

Vliney sighs''Fine''

Jimle''I..I still think we can find another way, we don't have to kill him''

Vliney sighs and holds her forhead''You, we have tried for four hundred years Jimle, we have not found another way out, That shit the human put on that door will not break no matter how much we try to shoot magic at it or try to do research on it we could not figure it. Tills we got one of the humans and it weakened the door''

Jimle holds her hands and looks down.

Vliney''Why do you even care about that human?''

''He is not like the others, I have kept an eye on him when he got down here, and well he remind me of someone I used to know''

A guy's voice'' Look jimle''He put a book down and on it says''The legends of the mountain''

Jimle''Why do you have that?''

''It sound cool and''He looks at the mountinen''Do you think the stories are real?''

''I don't know''

''We can go there''He looks at her.

''What hell no have you not heard, people vanish and die up there''

''Yes, but still''He hold the bok''I want to see''

Jimle''He really wanted to know if you all were real''

Vliney looks at her''Okay, can I ask who was that person and what happened to him?''

''He was my friend, he was the only one that gave me some hope up there, tills he went up this mountain. he was gone for hours so I went after him till I found his bag, clothes and blood on the path''

''Oh... I'm sorry to hear''.

''yeah...''Jimle looks down'' It's a wonder that I have not gone insane yet''

''You will not, you are a strong person, even if you don't have as strong magic as us, you have other things''

Jimle looks at Vliney''Like what?''

''Well you have the thinking skill and learning skills, so you have given us the help to improve our fighting and protecting''

Jimle'' I..I just do what I have to, to help you all''

''But still, you have given us help so thanks jimle''Vliney smiles.

Jimle looks at her'' You all welcome''She put her hands in her pocket''Do we really have to kill him''

Vliney sighs''You really don't let that go huh''

''How could I?, he just wanted to know if you all were real just like my friend... ''

Vliney looks at her and thinks''She really wants us to not kill him''She sighs and gets up''I'm sorry Jimle, but I'm going kill that human''She walks over to the door.

Jimle''But-''

Vliney''We can finally get out, I will not let people down here lose their hope more, I can not let more people take their lives'' She holds the door nob and looks down'' So many have just lost hope and ended everything, I will not make them wait any longer''she open the door and look at Jimle'' If you choose to help that human, then survival in this shit''She close the door and Jimle looks down and hold the hands''W..What c..can I do...''.
