The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 1015

As night fell over Westville, Janet stared at Nerissa in shock after hearing her story. She exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Nerissa, are you out of your mind? I know you're respectful and empathetic, but the Resonance Bell is a life-saving treasure Westley gave you-how could you just use it like that?"

Before Nerissa could even respond, Janet kept going. "And you were way too reckless! I admit Felix seems like a decent guy, but you haven't even spoken to him, let alone built a relationship. You should've walked away in that situation- what if something had happened to you?"

Nerissa frowned, sadness clouding her eyes. Despite having no real emotional connection with Felix and only a formal encounter between them, she already found herself mourning him. She wondered if this was what people meant by destiny.

"Stop it," she snapped. "I've already decided he's my man, so how could I just stand by and do nothing?"

Seeing that Nerissa was upset, Janet sighed. "I get it... but he's in Echo Cavern now. You know no one ever survives that place."

Nerissa's face grew even more somber. It was true-she had never heard of anyone entering Echo Cavern and making it out alive.
