In the Deerhill mountain peak sacred hall, the eldest elder sat on the highest seat while the others, including Master Oscar, sat on the lower ones.
"The boy only saw a blank space in the fifth cave? Can you believe this?" asked the eldest elder with a straight face as if this news did not interest him.
"That's what the kid said, Chief Cloud. Unless someone instructed him to answer like that, then what he said is correct."
"He could be lying. The fifth cave is the resting place of the Dragon God, and only the descendants of the gods can pass through the cave by getting their own mission. There's no way he's only seen the blank space."
"Are you saying I'm lying?" snapped the elder who previously asked Paskha directly. "You know damn well I can detect people's lies, and I can swear this kid wasn't lying!"
Several other elders participated in this heated debate, and only Master Oscar remained silent with one hand stroking his forehead.
