Jordan continued to run away as Rong roared hysterically until he finally grew a tiny amount of courage to fight back or at least talk. Finally, he stopped crawling and pressed his back against the wall. "S-stop! There has to be another way!" Jordan yelled while trying difficultly to sound confident, and a small "Please..." followed.
Rong simply ignored the coward, and Right listened intently. "<font size="4">Maybe... Maybe there's a way out of here!" Jordan continued, clinging onto a glimmer of hope, "We don't have to kill each other! Nobody has to die. I don't have to die."
Although Right was incredulous to the thought that anyone could be saved at all, he still paid attention, supposing that's the least he could do to the poor kid before his demise. Then, Rong stopped to retort in a mocking manner, "Oh, how do you suppose we're going to get out of here?"
Thinking back to the short man he saw earlier, Jordan replied and eventually trailed off, "He, the man... Did you see him? Short guy, black hair..."
"Yes, we have," was Right's answer. He waited patiently for the boy to continue.
"He-he's probably the key to escape. This must be his mind! Maybe he's trapped here, like us."
"We were speculating that this must be a multi-layered subconscious a moment ago," Right thoughtfully said.
"You mean you," Rong muttered while shaking her head angrily.
After ignoring Rong, the sensible dragon continued, "The basement warning must mean that descending would take us into the deeper part of the subconscious, so ascending must mean that we would get closer to consciousness."
"Yes!" Jordan yelled a little too eagerly with his self-confidence going up by a couple of notches, "That means that if the man is trapped and we take him to the top, he, and we, will be free!" Maybe Jordan had a chance to survive after all.
Vasily's footsteps were heard in the distance, and Right contemplated on what to do...</font>
