Chapter 231: A soulforce tune
"Finally," Irwin muttered as he saw the regular, long, and flat portal gallery appear behind another ice mountain.
He wiped the ice and snow from his face and grinned at the prospect of sleeping for a whole night. Although he had nearly bottomless endurance, no sleep was draining it.
"The end is in sight?" Greldo shouted from the cabin.
"Yeah," Irwin said.
"Alright, I'll warn Rindiri!"
Irwin sighed happily.
After another hour, he raised his head as they flew across the final stretch and finally out of the icy, cloud-covered, hailing hell he had been in for weeks. The temperature was rising rapidly, although he knew that was only compared to what they had been to. It would be days before Zender could stand the cold.
The door was shoved open, and he watched as Rindiri and then Greldo came out.
"No more constant hail!" Greldo shouted.
Rindiri took over the wheel, smiling at Irwin. "Go and rest, Captain."
"Thanks," Irwin said.
He headed toward the cabin, waved at Greldo, then went inside. Zender was waiting for him.
