Kyros knew that Fate wouldn't be so kind in this. While a part of himself expected this, a part of himself was worried. Would Aron and the knights survive? Kyros could only hope that the lectures and instructions could give them an advantage in how to fight the lizards.
As for Kyros, he had already done the best of what he can do to help the knights in his efforts. He tried to create traffic, and delay the movements, and even did his best to taunt the Dark Lizard leading the group.
But Fate was keenly intent in killing them. Kyros even sacrificed and gave the Cloak of Darkness to Avary, which would minimize Kyros's chances of surviving the battle. And even now, Kyros continued to charge forward. Despite Fate's many attempts to show him a way out, Kyros chose the treacherous path as if he wanted to join the knights in the ship-sinking scenario.
Might do only 3 chapters this week to prepare for next months daily release. Since I'm planning to do a daily release for both New Game+ and this story, I need to stockpile with this one.
By the way, if you try the 'closing one eye thing,' it actually works. I tried it a few times and left one eye closed for several minutes while I went about my day. I immediately went in a dark room and that eye could see better in the dark. Mythbusters proved it as well. Google Myth Buster Pirates eye patch if you don't believe me.
