-->"Well," Daring said, "looking scary is the first line of defense for a lot of old tombs. Obviously, anyone with wings gets over the thorns easily. So, either there were no intelligent species with wings back then or that's why those thorns are there." On a sudden impulse, she screwed up her courage and decided to try something she'd never done before: needling the professor. "Y'know, with that in mind, if this place is anything like others I've seen, I can pretty much tell you what the writing on the wall says."

-->[[spoiler: If this place is opened, the fire will not be isolated from the world, and we will have failed to protect you.]]
-->[[spoiler: Leave this place and never come back.]]
