Just judging by the appearance of the rooms and the strange, unpleasant, foul smell emanating from the inside, Arin could feel in his bones that whatever was awaiting him in the depths was not something pleasant or welcoming.
Still, he decided to press on. But he was not sure whether he should explore the horror together with Lapsia or whether he would explore it by himself to save Lapsia from something frightening or at least warn her beforehand.
Arin thought for a while and then decided that he should explore it first.
He was, after all, a leader, their leader. He was the master of the horde. And Lapsia was now part of his horde. And to take care of her, to save her from the trouble, it was his duty to face it first, whatever it was.
Arin steeled his nerve and walked towards the interior to explore.
He pushed a door, and a suffocating, foul smell flooded his nostrils.
