The Account

"Yes, I assure you, Stronghold Leader Zogar, that everything I've recounted is real and true," Orion replied, nodding his head at Stronghold Leader Zogar. 

After sharing his account with everyone present, omitting certain private details, Orion realized that had he not witnessed it himself, he would have been as sceptical as Stronghold Leader Zogar.

Nevertheless, considering the reputation he had diligently built within the village, Orion knew that whether they found his words sceptical or not, they would undoubtedly still trust him.

Proving it to them by allowing them to witness it for themselves and confirm it wasn't a challenge Orion couldn't handle. 

Right now, his primary concern was finding a way back to the mountain as quickly as possible, with as many warriors as he could gather in case the situation had taken a turn for the worst.

Of course, it wasn't that Orion doubted his ability to handle the situation in the Prismerian Kingdom alone.
