Amir was at the mouth of Ibachi Cave. He made it early waiting for the other members that had signed up for this excursion. According to the information Amir had read on the place ahead of time, there was only a moderate 72% chance of death. It was a good percentage when you calculated the rewards into it. Animals die for food and people for wealth as the saying goes. The money that the so-called neutral guild was shelling out was on the same level as the blue ponies in his eyes. It served to show the difference in status between all the guilds throwing events based on the pure funding alone.
The scholar was starting to get bored from the wait. It was kind of sucky being alone with no one to talk to. He really wished he had a personal companion. One that would help lighten his mood and burden. The creepy coldness from the cave was terrible enough alone, if he had someone he would not feel as psychologically burdened. It just sucks that finding a suitable exceed or similar was a mission all on its own. If Amir wanted to settle, finding a companion would be easy, he just wanted to find the right companion for himself.
