"Perhaps we [i]should[/i] turn back," Mistletoe said, looking around at the books. "These webs aren't exactly welcoming, and what are the chances that there's an exit from the library?"

Kenza paused, looking around at the walls intently. It was too dark to tell whether there were webs there, which concerned the hunter. What if there was something waiting there in the darkness, looking for an opening to strike? 

"I don't think anything in this castle is particularly safe. Even if we turn back, we'd just have to enter another room, open another door, and face another threat," Kenza said, frowning. "I say we continue on, even if only because we've already entered. If we turn back, we'd waste valuable time. The Wolfwing will no doubt be looking to check up on his prisoners soon."

Mistletoe nodded at Kenza's words. "I don't like it, but let's continue for a bit then," she said. "At the first sign of danger, we'll turn back."

So, the hunters continued on.
