The best you can do for me now is to spread the word. The Union Of The Pegasus shall set you free of this desolating misery, we have started small, but we will lead with the best intentions of our people, every step of the way." The crowd cheers after your response, despite you not intending to sound that inspirational
"Ah, of course! You're too kind!" Morgan's companions put their money back on their pockets and pouches. Hopefully Cindy won't be bothered by the extra work...
"If you don't bother me asking... Could you tell me what exactly my team did to end the conflict with the trolls?"
"Gladly. A few of us failed to trust the swordsman and the magician you had sent. We apologize for throwing rocks at your allies. Our children were only obeying orders of our local priest... A lesser soul would have given up on us solely by our reception."
"All is forgiven, though it is not me who should hear the apology."
"We could not believe our eyes when we saw the brave blonde warrior use his feather sword to cut through the swarm of trolls by himself! It was real magic."
"Interesting... I thought non believers would not see such magic... Guess that when you are pleading for salvation, the need of a miracle makes your sight awaken to the primal beliefs of our ancestors..."
"I thought the little boy would not do much... But even he managed to be properly guided into helping. Him and the hunter threw all those little balls they had to distract and redirect the trolls while we evacuated back to the church. All the while, the priest was refusing your help." Morgan admitted to having spent more time with Isidro. "My advice must have rubbed off on him, I even gave him an extra knife as a thank you gift."
"And out of nowhere, that hunk of a guy came in with his iron slab to squash any trolls that dared to show themselves at the entrance. Morgan took a blow for the child, but we managed to help him get up."
"Just when we thought we would get swarmed, the little girl started saying a bunch of weird words in another language. The priest came to knock her over, but the blonde girl pulled a knife on him! Said she would rather die than betray the one that taught her how to live."
"Oh, Farnese..." You chuckled, hearing the collective testimony of all that happened in Enoch. Seems like what you witnessed was no illusion afterall.
