🎀 Wisteria 🎀

— Poor fellow, life has really taken a toll on you! — Maydo hugged the wizard tightly and patted him on the back. — Don't worry, if you need help, advice, or just someone to talk to, know that you can always turn to me! We are all young at heart, both old and young, and age is just a number!
The third hero didn't introduce himself to his "colleagues" and finally finished his greeting. Matthew asked again who would be next.
— Darbon, — Yuisis said, — since it turned out this way, allow me to be the last.

Darbon had suspected from the very beginning that the trip to the summoners wouldn't end well. But now his fears were only confirmed. He wanted to escape from this place full of strange people, but now that all attention was focused on him, he could only dream of it.
—I... uh... as you wish, sir, — he mumbled in response to Yuisis's request.
Why did he even agree to be a hero? He'd be lucky if the ritual failed. And what if some unpleasant entity is summoned? And what will he do then? Of course, if it benefits their group, that's one thing... But so far, it seemed that only Rogdan's desires and ambitions had led to an adequate result, which was quite predictable. And he himself had neither the one nor the other.
With these thoughts, the old wizard prepared for the summoning.
