Rizel kept count: now that Arumeri's outlived his usefulness and before he could present a threat, he ate his heart out, and he's the penultimate Kinglet left alive. Other than himl there's only Chorum, who's meant to open the door and let them both back into the Valley of Kings... but chances of one last alliance are slim. What looms is rather every man for himself, as it was at the very start.
He needs to time everything very carefully, stay out of sight until the last minute so Chorum forgets about him, opens the portal, and just then dive in. If he'es early, he'll get eaten. If he stalls, the pathway might close just before him. He must remain the penultimate and only overtake him at the very gate.
He wants to be the first to pass it; it would be safer that he'd be the only one but he's not sure it's possible at all. If Chorum could be the very last one in this accursed world, or even better, that he stayed trapped here...
