They were speechless hearing Meratis' words. Jack sent silent messages to Grace and Jet immediately, 'Wear your Amulet of Rebirth.'
'They are all weak. How are they going to tear us apart?' Jet replied.
'Don't underestimate them. I think they are hiding something. No way a divine faction is this weak.'
While messaging, Jack said to Meratis, "So, what do you need us to do to show you that we don't carry wickedness?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just sit tight," Meratis replied.
"Hm?" Jack was puzzled.
Meratis was quiet then. None of them were speaking. The atmosphere turned awkward. Grace and Jet had worn their Amulet of Rebirth. They could easily change their equipment with their minds, so their action was not conspicuous. Jack just felt bad for Oswald, perhaps this native shouldn't have followed them here.
After a long and weird moment of mutual staring, Meratis broke into a grin. "You all passed," She said.
