"This pyramid structure…," Chloe said, "...Was once the habitat of a very powerful lion.
If we are going to enter, we must have it at the back of our mind that we may never come out alive,"
Kael was silent, his paws beat on the soil as he kept walking. He contemplated Chloe's explanation but didn't stop moving, he couldn't.
He was finally here to claim what belonged to him. The heavenly beacon belonged to him and him alone, he wanted to make sure of that.
The probability of death was high, but this was also his only chance to get his hands on a heavenly beacon.
Without the heavenly beacon, he had no way of becoming an official lion king, he had no way to get to heaven, and he had no way to close the gap between him and other lion kings.
If he walked away from this opportunity, he may never get close to another heavenly beacon again.
Just as Chloe said, the matters of heavenly beacons were usually attended to by lion kings, each of whom had world-shaking power.
